[Ambreen]

Happy 89th birthday, dear late Hanky ! :) :(

Little did I realize it was his birthday yesterday. Ironically I did watch the Bukowski Tapes too. I had a rumonade but it was for myself. But had I know I would have toasted to him.

I wasn't aware it was his birthday, but instead of the Bukowski Tapes, last night I watched ... Henry & June. Wrong writer Guess that makes me a traitor. I did read from PULP, so maybe I can be forgiven.

No, wait a minute, I worked on a story about Bukowski, for BUK SCENE 2 (hopefully, if the editors don't bounce it), so I did spend some time thinking about Bukowski.

 

[Lolita Twist]

Happy 89th baby. Let's have a round. (PS. Where were you & Gram yesterday when I was losing at the track?!?!)

 

[Mark73]

Happy birthday Charles, I know you're around.

 

[strangegirl]

Happy Birthday fellow Lion. I have the red win de-corked and ready to pour.
A Toast!
:)

Thanks, Bukowski, for the consolation and solace over the years.

 

[number6horse]

Ditto for me, poptop. Well said.

Here in Arnhem,
we are drinking a few glasses (bottles) of red wine to honor Buk,
although Ponder is treating a painful knee bursitis. No need to say that he is not following the doctor's recommendation. Well, it's party time for Hank, what the hell could be wrong with that?

I think he's dead guys.

I think he isn't.

Have been drinking to him on Sunday just after midnight at the wedding of my friend in Romania.

 

[hank solo]

I don't think anyone said this last year? 'Happy Birthday' Bukowski.

Born 91 years ago today. Cheers.

 

[Black Swan]

One drink for Bukowski today!

 

[roni]

Oh yeah,
Happy Birthday Hank!

 

[christopher]

One drink for Bukowski today!

One?!
Tsk, tsk.
Buk would be rolling in his grave if he found out you were going to have ONE drink in his honor.

 

[Ponder]

Cheers.

Elvis died on August 16th - coincidence? Conspiracy theorists should take a look.

 

[hank solo]

Elvis died...

Nonsense!

 

[Bukfan]

Happy Birthday, Hank! I hope you'll get as drunk celebrating your birthday as we will.

 

[pig ear press]

I was curious as to who Hank shared his birthday with (Ted Hughes is one btw), and came across this...

'Juliette Kayyem Government 16-Aug-1969 Counterterrorism wonk'

What the hell is a 'wonk'?
It sounds like something Peter Sellers would have said in the Pink Panther films.

Sorry, I digress...

Belated Happy Birthday old (dead) man!

 

[Mark73]

The dictionary spits out dweeb, nerd, grind, swot. That's a wonk. The best in the classroom who has no friends.
What the hell am I doing here? I'm not even a native speaker.

 

[hank solo]

Happy Birthday Hank,
yrs.

 

[zobraks]

94 years since that memorable Monday...

 

[ESO9]

Happy birthday, Buk!
I'm going camping today. Hope I don't get lost in the woods like that story in Women.
I'll drink a few for the old man.
Cheers.

I'm going camping today. Hope I don't get lost in the woods like that story in Women.

Just stay out of Utah and you'll be fine.

HENRY CHINASKI, MINOR POET, FOUND DEAD IN UTAH WOODS

:D
I love those headlines.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Those are good, this one is great:
HENRY CHINASKI IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE GREATEST ONE-LEGGED POET IN THE WORLD.

 

[zobraks]

Yeah, but no mention of Utah there.
