Okay now. The men in green are keeping an eye this thread.
Let's not anyone start getting wise.
Everybody just keep their hands where we can see them.
Seriously, I saw her first.

as long as it doesn't smell funny
Well, I haven't worn it yet. And it's not as if I'm intending to use it to apply hemorrhoid cream (pile cream for you continentals ;) ) or somesuch. Nor do I intend to loan it to ROC.:D

This was in reference to the old BSP shirts that has an odd plasticy smell to them (as reported by others in the forum). I know the smell from other shirts that I bought in the 80's.
Well, ROC had mentioned perhaps getting a dodgy one, but mine does have that new t-shirt plasticy smell. It looks like smokin' ass, though. You can just see Buk looking at Stone this way.

Nice T-shirt! I like it. Where did you buy it? Ebay?
Since you've asked (I didn't want to appear as though I was pimping these shirts), yes indeed (and it was only $10; OK, now I'm pimping...crap). I'm wondering why the stamp is a 32-cent though. There's no way a standard letter cost that much to mail back in the late 1950s or 1960s.

That was the rate at the time that the stamp was made. These are referred to as "Cinderellas" in the stamp collecting world. Fake stamps that are meant as momentos. This one carried the then current rate of $.32 which was from January 1, 1995 to January 10, 1999.

Thanks, Bill.
Very interesting, I wasn't sure whether the image had originally been made around the time of the photo (looks to be early 1960s or so) or had been just randomly put together for the shirt recently. As usual, neither of my hunches turned out to be correct.

Yeah, I'm not sure who made the stamp, but they seemed to have chosen a photo that they thought would work well without regard to timeline..

That's awful.
hey guys. im new here and sorry if this seems like a bomb, but i am a big bukoski fan too. i saw the post about shirts and my clothing line is all literary themed shirts, including my bluebird shirt. so, its a way to wear a bukowski tee without a face on it.

there was a limited version on yellow, for obvious reasons, but it sold out a while ago. i hope to keep posting on here in non tee related things, but thought some of you guys might dig it.

What, your first post being an ad? Nah, that's really awesome. We love that. It doesn't make anyone think you're an asshole. Not at all. Seriously, don't worry about it.
but if this is a picture of you, all is forgiven:
but really, just because you know Bukowski's favourite colour was yellow doesn't mean you can spam us.
unless that really is a picture of you, then you get a pass.
so, to recap: no ads as first posts even if you love Bukowski unless you are a really hot woman. or man, depending on your perspective I guess. and no pissing in the pool unless you're really drunk and you hate the person that owns the pool and they had it coming. Miles, do you own a pool?
ok. everyone clear on the rules? everyone on board? yes?
good. now everyone into the pool.

It's called self promotion - kind of like your web-site here (somewhat) no offense. You are doing a good thing here, all the photos, timeline...etc. But no warm feeling of kinship, the reason, most of us are here for... ( you took pretty good video I posted down - it made people feel good, you know?). You jerk! ';)
While we're revisiting this topic... BilkoJoe from The Bookshop just sold a letter from Bukowski regarding the Belfast t-shirts... (hope you don't mind Joe...)
Sorry guys, im the guy wearing the shirt and not the girl. I know the whole bombing forums thing is bad but when it comes to bukowski, the tee selection is usually bad eBay prints of his face. I'm a heavy reader and running a clothing line based off of literature wasn't an easy way to be trendy. I understand the potential hate for that post but give me a chance. I surf the forum more than I've posted.
Maybe I will have jennifer(girl in pic) post if I do another bukowski tee in the future which I'm sure I will.
If by chance you do dig the tee, you can use a coupon "friends" for 20% off.
you might not want to send Jennifer here. once she gets a load of my wit and charm, she'll be lost to you. nothing personal, that's just the way it is with me. I wish I could stop it, but you can't control nature.
that said, I've seen worse shirts. but I'm afraid with my beer belly, the bird will look bigger than the rest of the graphics and throw off the design entirely.
but best of luck!
