Happy Birthday Hank, and thanks again!

 

[Black Swan]

Here's a Vodka Seven for your birthday.

Here's Vodka, minus the seven...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

But wait, it's Madonna's birthday too!

 

[Bukfan]

It's amazing it's already been 20 years ago Buk died. How time flies.

Happy Birthday, Buk! Have a bottle of red wine on me.

 

[BUKFAN78]

Happy B-day Buk! Four minutes to midnight. Finished writing and very drunk now. On a magnum of red, of course.

 

[number6horse]

He would have been 94 and no doubt "still leaning toward this machine."

 

[BUKFAN78]

I always feel sad for Linda this time of year.

Here's Joe Henry's Happy Birthday to Buk. https://www.facebook.com/JoeHenryLo...2759602087353/895027860527186/?type=1&theater

 

[Black Swan]

Very nice post.

 

[PhillyDave]

Yeah, the Joe Henry connection to Buk is that Joe is married to Madonna's sister and Madonna was married to Penn at the time.

Happy Birthday Charles Bukowski.

[Bukfan]

Happy Birthday

Thanks Buk for giving me something to do... haha

 

[Black Swan]

Happy 96th!
thanks for so much!
I'll definitely have a drink today in your honour.

 

[roni]

Hell yes!
*lifting glass*
Here's to my favorite Dirty Old Man of all times!

 

[PhillyDave]

I will have a drink or two for him tonight and read some of my favs of his.

 

[Andreas]

Here's to you, Bukowski!
And here's to my son David, who turned nine yesterday and got a glorious swimming badge today!

 

[Bash Chelik]

I'm planning on picking up some Henieken later and making my way through War All The Time. I'll probably also read "This is What Killed Dylan Thomas", a personal favorite.....

Heineken??? Better be Hamms ;)

 

[Bukfan]

Happy 96th, Buk! We´ll drink to you in German white wine (Riesling?).

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Hank's drunk again, but he told me to thank you all for the birthday wishes. FYI: Mediums don't get paid enough for this shit...

 

[mjp]

Oh dear.

 

[PhillyDave]

I saw that yesterday but just took the test. Oh, thank god I got a 10 outta 10!

 

[skiroomalum]

Well, I was 9/10. I fucked up the cat question. Still not buying that book...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Took it yesterday and missed the cat one too.

 

[mjp]

At least they properly categorized "Find what you love."

 

[PhillyDave]

I guessed on the cat one. Already forget the cat's name.
mjp Have you considered creating an entry test/quiz to help keep us on our toes or to help kick out the lazy who fall behind on their Buk history? Just a thought. I'll bring the #2 pencils.:p

 

[hoochmonkey9]

10/10.

So the last 47+ years of my life haven't been all for naught.

Updating resume/Tinder account now...

mjp Have you considered creating an entry test/quiz...

For a while I think we had a question that had to be answered correctly to create a forum account, but that dropped by the wayside when better ways to kill murder disembowel block spammers came about.

 

[skiroomalum]

I remember that. Mine was what year was Factotum published. I'm glad it didn't involve that fucking cat.
