:) "Ya whol, mine herring" if I am not mistaken is a joke since in German he should have said "Ja wohl, mein Herr" or "Yes, sir"...and what he actually says is "Yes, my herring" (!) but I think Roni is the expert in that department.:):)
Click to expand...

you got it right.


Buk maybe had an even more musical idea: to say "herring" sounds more similar to "Herren" than to "Herr", which means, it's a plural-form.
Stupid when he talks to only one person. yes. But - there's an old german song with that title "!" - the Nazi-doc would sure know that song. how about Buk?

I shouldn't answer because I can never think of a question.

Okay, try this easy one.

Notes of a Dirty Old Man was used as the title of a regular Bukowski column or feature in at least 4 different periodicals. Name 4 of them.

Buk Bingo Etiquette

:confused::confused::confused:Hey Hank Solo, do you need to tell me I'm right or wrong to keep the game going, or do I just barge in and declare myself correct and very rudely come up with yet another question for Bukowski Bingo?:):)

What makes Buk an original American poet?

This isn't a straight yes or no question. What qualities do you think make Buk an ORIGINAL American poet? I mean, how does he differ from Whitman, Stevens, Pound, Lowell, Plath, Berryman, Eliot, Frost, cummings, etc. Name THREE ways.

OK, scratch that!

Yeah, I was wondering if that wasn't trivia! OK, who were the two poets who appeared in Modern Poets Penguin 13 with Hank? :)

My turn... Who said this (or was rumored to have said this), to whom and why?

That would be His Holiness John Martin, referring to me.




Wait, I mean, referring to Jim Christy's The Buk Book.

So, what was the name of the naked young woman Bukowski was pictured fondling in that very book?

Yahp. Now you have to think of another one. Heh. Answering these questions is easier than posing them.

Oh great.

Okay then, a two-parter: the day he got his first fax machine set up in his house, Bukowski faxed a poem to John Martin.
1) How long did Bukowski live after sending that poem/fax?
2) Did the advent of the fax machine, or strange technology in general, kill Bukowski?

LOL. That'll teach me.

Okay. Let's do this:

For about ten years Bukowski gave up writing.
From when to when? Approximate is okay.


Either you know this, or you don't. No Googling


And if this has already been asked in this thread,
then don't say so, let someone new answer.
