Nervas - From bookmarker and toast bread you just don't sound well. Are you OK ? Or do you have a case of the sugar diabetes ?

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I'd never heard bookmarker before but figured it was an American thing or maybe a California thing. I guess it was just a nervas thing. No matter you call them, they are still cool.

Does anyone remember this exhibition on a smaller scale in London? It was near st martin in the fields. LA been a bit slow, the London exhibit was about 16 years ago. It was both touching and inspiring to see his typer, his radio, desk, chair, some of his clothes including a battered pair of shoes and patched up spectacles. All these ordinary looking things from a life less ordinary. Anyone else remember it? They were selling badges and bookmarks with "I'm lying, but believe me its the truth",and "nobody looks ugly after 3am" on them...

Wow thanks for that link. I know the new exhibition is bigger than the one I went too. Just glad to have seen it as I won't get to the new one...

God looking at those images takes me right back "I was once unbelievably young"
Thank you

Gotcha question!

Kidding aside, it's a great bookmark speech because it says your truth isn't necessarily my truth. At least that's what it says the most in my interpretation. Then it's great because Bukowski blurred the line between fact and fiction so well you could take it all for real while reading.

off topic:

I guess, I've said this before: you seem to be a cool kid and it's a shame, you've never been to any of our symposiums or even considered a membership in the Buk-Society. I don't know anything about you, except that you're one of the few German Bukowski-Fans, who are worth a shit.
It's strange.

Uh-oh.... more unrest in Germany ? This doesn't bode well for the 21st century...

( I kid ! Of course I kid ! Put down that Luger.... Hey !)

"tuna fish" is what I call canned tuna, but a piece of tuna (like a tuna steak or sushi) I call tuna. Bus, yes, it is redundant.

Ah, that's a fine distinction. The next time I'm called for saying "tuna fish", I'll say "I mean the canned stuff -- NOT fresh tuna! What do you think, I'm stupid?"

And it looks like a fine exhibit at the Huntington.

I was not impressed with the exhibition at the Huntington. Am I the only one?
