I'll have to study my meager little collection to find some obscure fact to ask about.
How's it coming Gerard?

I forgot.
Okay, here's something very remedial. What was the actual name of the store Bukowski worked at after High School. The one Chinaski worked at in Ham on Rye.

Abord the Yorikke!
Nobody was anymore surprised than I when Mears-Starbuck phoned and asked me to report to work the next Monday.

Sorry I was at a small family reunion. Only 28 attended. It was Sears not Mears. Who's up?
I would say David is up; although Black Swan deserves an honourable mention.

She may have been in the Pot Head Thread. In that case she would be right.
Name that Poem
Colyngbourne crossed a King with a poem
and inherited new gallows on Tower Hill,
and they cut him down while he still bubbled
and tore out his disenchanted bowels
and tossed them in the fire by his side
where they sputtered and curled like live snakes,
and the butcher put his hand into the hole
of his body
and moved the fingers
like a suckling red spider,
(and the trees stood watching without comment
and a bird flew by
wings-to-body, wings-out
bouncing boundless in the sky
like a rock thrown downhill...
What is the title of this poem, featured recently on one of the Buknet postings?

Dear lohrdy, gerard. How did you find that?
Nice find.
Nice find.

The spirit of Charles Bukowski and Henry Chinaski drift closely through the universe.
Great find, uncle!
It's interesting to compare Buk with the other contributors.
So, seems it's back to you Gerard ...

Usually wrong.
I've never been the answer to a trivia question before. I am deeply honored and humbled (or should I be horrified and humiliated?)

I just found this, it sums up Henry Chinaski quite well. Where is it from?
I am not a very nice man. I don't know the world. I have always admired the villain, the outlaw, the son of a bitch. I don't like the clean shaven boy with the necktie and the good job. I like desperate men, men with broken teeth and broken minds and broken ways. They interest me. They are full of surprises and explosions. I also like vile women, drunk cursing bitches with loose stockings and sloppy mascara faces. I'm more interested in perverts than saints. I can relax with bums because I am a bum. I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don't like to be shaped by society.
There has been some comments by people that believe they are the opposite of Bukowski. The above lines reminded me of that belief.

"Guts" from South of No North.

I was afraid someone would say, Barfly.
Guts is correct. Your turn H-monkey.

what periodical that Buk appeared in could also appeal to botanists? (specify volume and number)
Well, there are the High Times issues, but since you specified one volume/number, that ain't it. Then there's the Evergreen Review, but again, more than one appearance. Just to let you know that there is often more than one answer to certain questions.
But really, my post is pointless, isn't it?

I would have guessed Jacaranda, but since you said volume and number, I'll say Turf Monthly vol. 20 no. 240?
nope. has nothing to do with the title of the mag.
Way too late, so edited. Hmmm...nothing to do with the title. Good poser, Sir Hooch. I know a landscape architect who read Playboy. Right, read.:p
hint:
there was a particular item laid in to a specific mag.
