hi guys

[xniffyx]

hey,
I stumbled into this forum when I was gathering ideas for a bukowski tattoo (i.e. looking for drawings). I recently graduated undergrad during which I always kept at least 3 books of Bukowski poetry near my computer for when the exhaustion and frustration of going to a yuppy university got to me. I like the way the man wrote (his poetry is my favorite and my favorites are usually the grimey poems about drinking, women and being down and out but not finished).
I like him and that's why i am here.
I am really impressed by the posts I have read here and that's another reason why I joined.
So... hi guys!
:D

Welcome! For a tatoo, Bon't Try! is a big favorite for great laughs. Unfortunately at your expense.
:D:D
What books have you read?

 

[xniffyx]

Well, unfortunately I have only read Post Office and The Capt. is out... as far as his non-poetry collections go but I have read many of his books of poetry (over and over again) thanks to my college having an incredible selection of his works and me devouring them every moment I could steal away from my studies.

I think I have decided to get one of the drawings of the little man at the piano that I found here. I actually am starting a collection of "drawings by people I greatly admire" on my arm. So far I have a kimya dawson piece and now buk and after this I think I am adding a daniel johnston drawing. *shrugs* though "Bon't Try" would make even me laugh every time I looked at it.

We need to find the picture for you in case you are considering it.
And welcome to the forum

thanks for the welcome, btw

A reminder for all of us...


A Bukowski little man doodle would be much better. Welcome.

 

[xniffyx]

...or just simply wear your bad tattoo like some sort of badge...some sort, I suppose.

Welcome to the forum.

There is a myspace thingie link here or there, don't forget to watch the picture where Bon't try is acting writing something down a few inches next to the grave of Bukowski.

[xniffyx]

I will post pictures when I am on my home computer (right now I am at my work computer)

i'm sure, the "poor guy" was still referring to the tattoo-guy.

Women do prefer men with a sense of humor and display signs of humility.;)

 

[roni]

[Father Luke]

[xniffyx]

haha no I meant the guy with the tattoo.
I picked up from the female pronouns and vodka is a girl.

Nice, but the garter strap has my vote!! welcome xniffyx....

 

[xniffyx]

thanks thanks,
it's actually an homage to VALIE EXPORT the feminist (performance) artist.

[1fsh2fsh]

well, of course....

 

[xniffyx]

haha.
Half the time people don't even get that it's a garter--they think its some sort of ballet imagery, a guitar or some phallus (my personal favorite... though I have a tendency to see vaginal imagery in everything)

In England, we call those suspenders.
Hell-oo :D

 

[xniffyx]

[Purple Stickpin]

Cape Cod is a lovely place. I once passed out on a beach in Dennisport. Welcome.

 

[Bukfan]
