Usually wrong.
Canada doesn't have a King? But when I visited their parliament, the place was loaded with royalty gear. And all the coins have kings and queens on them. Come on...

Thanks for explaining about the hosting site dumping the files, hank solo. I didn't consider that possibility.

Queen Elizabeth II is on our coins. we are part of the Commonwealth, and the Monarch acts as a figurehead. I think she still OKs our Governor General (?), but other than that, she has no say in Canada.

most importantly, she has no say in the appointment of the King of Kensington. that is figured out in the curling rink with plenty of Molson. like all civilized nations.

I remember when William and Harry (and daddy Charles) came to town ten years ago. The boys were greeted like teeny bopper rock stars. It all seemed load of pish tosh from the throne where "we" sit and wipe.

Here's 1972 la freep. Added some notes to explain duplications at NOLA. Hopefully the doc file makes it. Initially I didn't have it in the zip file and couldn't seem to upload it separately.

A couple more installments to go. I've just finished looking at the email exchange for those 1974-76 la freep files. Copied and pasted another doc file. Will get it all together tomorrow (today after I wake up).

Some guy named mjp wondered out loud about this,
mjp said:
It would be nice to have all the columns from the weeklies collected. Not just the ones a few publishers think are worth collecting.

I wonder also, on this wondrous night, whether anyone here has all of the weekly articles from NOLA, Freep and Open Pussy (and wherever else)...

and all this (fireworks included) is the result.

And the result is wicked awesome, as they might say in some Norteastern U.S. cities full of drunks and bloodthirsty thugs. It would seem that it is possible to put them all together, using these and another source that is in the pipeline, they should all be covered.

Looking at the email notes it finally came back to me that I was only sending prose entries to Cirerita back in 2007. He had done the poems already. So I just added poem titles to the email notes. That is what this and the next word doc included in the zip files are all about. Mainly.

1974 la freep.

Still more great stuff? To quote Mae West, "Too much of a good thing is...wonderful!".
What a great way to start the new year, by reading all the Dirty Old Man columns.
Thanks a lot, Digney! Happy New year!

What's interesting and cool to learn is that he also had "columns" that were made up of poems. I never dug too deeply into the weeklies. So the myth of him typing away madly to meet a weekly deadline sometimes meant throwing some poems at them instead. He didn't always make the deadline, is what I get from that. "Oh, hell, it's Friday - here's some poems, run them instead."

Also a good way to introduce people to the poetry who might not otherwise buy a collection of poems. Crafty bastard.

There's even a story in one of the last two batches about him missing a deadline. First he misses a deadline and next week he writes a story about it. Pretty clever.

There's also a bunch of drawings in those columns we have'nt seen before!

looks like Burroughs wanted some cut-up action. we're flattered, having attracted his attention, didn't know yet - him strolling around forums posthumously, though
