i had to drag this post up from the grave because I remembered it from before. i have had "Mule Variations' laying around pretty much since it came out. Played it a couple of times, along with Alice. Never got into either one of them. Just recently started playing both of them, and OH MY...

I don't think it is really slang, but i always think it is endearing when he says 'curbing' instead of curb. Like ...he drove up to the curbing. or ...he stepped out onto the curbing.

I have been away for a couple of weeks, and lordy! The things I missed! This is the best thread I have read on this forum. Thanks for sharing this mystery girl. The letters! Magnificent. Ok, I'm going to read them again!

I have a comic that I have saved for years. There is a cow as a hairdresser, doing a dog's hair. They both have thought bubbles. The cow is saying, "Bitch", and the dog is saying, "Cow". BTW, I love Cow and Chicken!!!

"Death was so dull. That was the worst thing about death. It was dull. Once it happened there wasn't anything you could do. You couldn't play tennis with it or turn it into a box of bonbons. It was there like a flat tire was there. Death was stupid. -From Death of the Father 1, out of...

I used to really like the Toy Dolls back in the '80s.

The Adam Carolla show...

I loved the documentary about the Genuine Nerd, but I can't remember the guy's name now. Actually, I think the film is called "Genuine Nerd". I am really a sucker for that kind of Doc. Like Crumb, or Brother's keeper. Crash is one of the best movies I've seen lately.

"...and I felt guilty for the swan as if death were a thing of shame..." That is truly beautiful.

First of all, let me say that I LOVE that you have a laminated picture of Buk that you carry around with you. And second, I don't have any suggestions, but that reminded me of something that happened to me. One morning my 12 year old daughter couldn't find her zip-up sweatshirt on the way...

How about Bone Machine? That's my favorite.

That was so excellent! He was such a youngster. Just precious.

Gee, and here I thought it was Buk himself, uploading from the grave...

No, it is a different one. I got to it by going to Henrychinaski's homepage, which is a myspace. Buk is his #1 friend.

Hey, what's with the Bukowski "My Space"? Does anyone know who does it?

The Tower Theater in Sacramento isn't a regular movie theater. It shows art films and offbeat stuff. And now that you have mentioned the film "Poetry in motion" it is sounding more and more familiar. Hannah, yeah, I was really surprised to find not ONE Bukowski book in my local library...

Hmmm. I guess it could have been that, but I always thought it was the Andy Warhol Documentary. The 80s were a long time ago. Maybe I saw both films at the same theater and just lumped them into one film.

I really like the short story "scum grief", where he is talking about seeing the poet Victor Valoff read and he is interpreting the poems for Vicki. The whole thing is really funny. "Now what's he saying?" "He's saying he needs a big fat woman to kick the shit out of him." "Don't be funny...

That's really funny! I sent this same picture, via email, to my husband with "Don't you LOVE this guy?" on it, and he emailed me back... "Which one?"

After watching "Born into this", I was so moved and DYING to share my love of Bukowski with someone that I emailed the poem "The Bluebird" to an old friend of mine. I said something like... "Hey, this made me think of you, I know you like poetry (I usually don't like poetry) Do you love...

Does it surprise me that you also love Tom Waits? No, not at all. I am really enjoying whisky these days. But I do love a good dark foreign beer. The darker the better! Ok, I am copying down your email address, and will write you soon. Have you read Hot Water Music? If so, what is your...

Hey, thanx for all the welcomes. No, I don't remember the name of the Warhol documentary, but I saw it at the Tower Theater in Sacramento. Hi, Hannah. I am picturing you with the same look on your face as when I am reading Buk. It is a really wide, teeth together smile, with "hee-hee!" every...

Hello, I am new. Here is how I got here. Sometime back in the 80s, I saw a documentary about Andy Warhol. I really don't remember ANYTHING about the movie, except this part with Mr. Bukowski talking about how after he wrote something, he didn't spend a lot of time looking at it or patting...
