i'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop....

 

[ekim]

what's a "shoe"?

 

[bospress.net]

it covers a sock.

 

[ekim]

are you a hot chick?

 

[bospress.net]

mike,
no I am not a hot chick, but I am waiting for a post that has SOMETHING to do with this forum. So far there have been 17 posts, most dealing with whatever pops into your head, most of the posts being one word posts.

Have you read Bukowski?

Best,
llib

What you're doing is breaking the only rule the forum has by being an asshole. I hope that clears things up for you.

 

[ekim]

llib,

first; i've seen factotum SEVERAL times, so I do know a thing or two about bukowski.
two; how the hell did you figure out my name? that's creepy
but seriously, i'm new to computers. i like the idea of chatting online. i'm not here so much to talk about buk, but to talk to people who like buk.
ice for the eagles gives me the chills everytime i read it.

Hi Mike,
Yes, you would probably love many of the poems and stores by Bukowski.

On another note, I just found this on the Harpercollins site out of Canada.

They seem to think that his name is Charles J. Bukowski. Sad that his new publisher does not seem to even know his name...

what's a hot chick?

 

[chronic]

Sheesh... everyone knows that it's Charles H. Bukowski.

:D

 

[bospress.net]

Chuckie or Chas to his friends.

They seem to think that his name is Charles J. Bukowski.

You could excuse that as a typo if his name was commonly spelled out including a middle initial, but obviously it never was. Which makes the "Charles J. Bukowski" on that page really obscene.

 

[ROC]

Ohhh... so it's not Charles Jebediah Bukowski??

What the hell was I thinking?

Oh and Ponder... I'll see you behind the bike sheds after school.
I've got some 'literature' to show you.

 

[dolittle2x]

And did you happen to see when,
According to Bill's Harpercollins site link,
This particular Charles J Bukowski book went on sale?!

01/01/1900

This Charles J guy, wow, who knew?, we learn more every day
;)

Just the Canadian branch of his US publisher half-assing it...

Maybe they use a different calendar up there. You know, in the part that thinks they still live in France.

 

[Short Bus]

Hey it could be worse we have another province (Alberta-think of Texas without the BBQ) that thinks it is part of the U.S.-I mean the U.S. thats red necked myopic and waiting for the second coming-not at all like you swell folks

 

[Black Swan]

No, people here do not think that we're still in France , we live in Quebec.
And yes we use the same calendar. We also have free healthcare, lot of clean water and sidewalks if you can believe it.

 

[Short Bus]

Yeah BS but Quebec also has this "european" mentality

Montreal's largest school board has been ordered to rehire a teacher who had been fired for failing to disclose to the board that he had killed his wife in 1990.

Jean-Alix Miguel had pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

In 1998, the Commission scolaire de Montréal hired him to teach electronics to adults at a construction trade school in Montreal's east end.

The board fired him in 2004 when it learned about his criminal record, something he had not told the board about when he was hired.

An arbitrator later ruled that Miguel's dismissal violated Quebec's charter of rights, because his crime did not in any way relate to his work.

The board appealed the arbitrator's ruling to Quebec's Superior Court, but the court ruled in favour of Miguel on Wednesday.

The board has 30 days to appeal that decision.

I'm all for rights but responsibility first.
I think I am going off thread eh?
Je m'excuse

I know, I know. Hey, I grew up in Minnesota. That's southern Canada, for all intents and purposes.

Ah, Hüsker Dü - saw them many, many (many) times, and even shared the stage with them at 7th St. Entry/First Avenue.

 

[Black Swan]

Does Quebec have a European mentality

Well I am French Canadian and okay with my identity. With all due respect Jimmy Snerp, I do not think that it is BS to say that I don't think of myself as being European. It is just that I sense hostility in your observation.
I am here to feel Bukowski's spirit. Peace...

 

[bospress.net]

I found Montreal and Quebec to be amazing cities. I only visited once, but have always wanted to go back. Canadian, European, or French. It was very nice...

Bill

 

[Black Swan]

Thinking of it!

I suppose a few good bottles of French "Pinot Noir" a fresh French baguette and a chunk of "Crottin de Chavignole" would do it...
