[the only good poet]

ok, i know it's right: i read it...

my turn: what was the name of the mag b. first appeared in in britain?

 

[cirerita]

Satis...

 

[the only good poet]

i never had any illusions there... lead the way, cire...

 

[cirerita]

let's stick to this thread: name the mag which first published B in the continental Europe...

 

[Bukfan]

Was it Carl Weissner's mag "Klactoveedsedsteen" ?

 

[cirerita]

almost but not quite. Klacto was pub. in September '67 and there was this other mag which published B in July '66...

Hola,
Vagabond? I know that John Bennett published this out of Germany for a while.... Maybe he was publishing Vagabond in the US in '66. Not sure...


Bill

 

[cirerita]

almost there. In fact, I just learned that Vagabond was first published in Munich during the '66 summer, but no specific date is mentioned. The other mag I was thinking of was definitely published in July '66.

Another hint: the mag. was published in Belgium.

[grayxray]

[cirerita]

Labris #4/5.

right on!

 

[grayxray]

Who claims to have pissed on Buk's grave?

 

[hank solo]

Oh shit...

 

[mjp]

Who claims to have pissed on Buk's grave?

Well I guess you showed him.

 

[grayxray]

Not Me

I did not do it but guess who did --- somebody famous!

 

[mjp]

G. Gordon Liddy?
Oprah Winfrey?
Popeye?
Santa Claus?

Who cares.

Only a teenager or a jerkoff would consider pissing on someone's grave, and only a tremendously worthless piece of shit would brag about it.

 

[grayxray]

Disagree

I think Buk would have gotten a kick out of it -- like it is not that serious and I am sure he pissed a few placed that were not proper -- in fact maybe we should all take a piss for Buk.

Hmmm... thinking time...

Ok, nearly forgot to do this.

Er, here's an easy one.

Where did the Bukowski family stay on their arrival in the US before moving to L.A.?

 

[bospress.net]

Philly?

 

[hank solo]

Nope, that's not the answer I'm after.
Pretty warm tho.

 

[bospress.net]

baltimore...

 

[hank solo]

Ok, Your turn Bill.

 

[bospress.net]

OK. This is a REALLY easy one. What was the name of the ship that the Bukowski's took over from Germany in 1922 (was that the year, or was it 1923?)

Bill

 

[Bukfan]

It was in 1923, April 18, on the SS President Fillmore (Bremerhaven to Baltimore). - Right?

 

[bospress.net]

Hi,
You got it. And gave us much more than I expected....

GREAT

Bill

 

[Bukfan]

Thanks to Miles Buk bio;)

Ok, next question:

What was the name of Buk?s childhood/teenage friend who introduced him to drinking?

 

[ROC]

Eli LaCrosse
AKA 'Baldy'

 

[ROC]

Thats from Ham on Rye.

His real name was William Mullinax.

 

[ROC]

...and if that is right (and I think it is)...

In 1966 Border Press announced a forthcoming publication, a book of poetry by one Charles Bukowski.
It never appeared.
What was the title of that book going to be?
