New Trivia Thread - First with the correct answer asks the next question.

[d gray]

hey, why'd the trivia thread get locked down?

 

[chronic]

I didn't even know that there was a trivia thread.

Does the person who gets the right answer to this get to ask the next question?

 

[d gray]

:D:D:D

 

[mjp]

It was getting really long. Like ridiculously long, so I was waiting for it to die down. No one posted in it for over a month, so I took that as a sign and locked it. You're always free to start another.

 

[d gray]

cool

First new question.....whose face did Bukowski spit in at the 49 Tavern?

 

[Bukfan]

I don't know, Gerard, but rumour has it the spit was later used for some water color paintings...

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Hey Bukfan, that was a good one. So answer it anyway.

 

[Bukfan]

Ok, the difficult answer is...(drum roll)...David Barker!

Next question:

Raymond Carver wrote a poem about Buk. What's the title of the poem?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

You Don't Know What Love is(an evening with Charles Bukowski) Did he write a short story about him too?

 

[Bukfan]

That's right, Gerard! - A short story? I don't recall at the moment, but I don't think so.

Your turn...

 

[Gerard K H Love]

This is easy. How could Bukowski's neighbor's tell the status of his relationship with Linda King from day to day.

Bukfan; Carver's Dog will know the name of the story if he wrote one. Are you here Rodger?

... if the bronze bust was on the doorstep, or if the typewriter had been thrown in the street?

Bill

 

[Gerard K H Love]

That's right there were more than one. However the bust was not yet bronzed, but you have the idea. Your turn due to the typewriter.

 

[bospress.net]

Shit, I'm having a tough time coming up with one....

OK. This is pretty easy (and I could have asked it before, but I don;t think so). When the Webbs were printing Bukowski's book, they had papers stacked everywhere including the bathtub.

What odd thing did they put over the press?

Extra credit, for "It Catches", what brand press did they use?

Bill

 

[Ambreen]

C & P ?

(Thanks Google :D)

 

[bospress.net]

Hi,
You got that extra credit right. What about the odd thing that was kept above their C&P Press.

Bill

p.s. The Press was a Chandler & Price 8x12, which is the EXACT press that I have here.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

They put the bed up on stilts to protect things mostly the paper.

 

[Ambreen]

Who won ? :D

 

[Bukfan]

When the Webbs were printing Bukowski's book, they had papers stacked everywhere including the bathtub.

That's right, and Buk made this drawing about how Louise Webb was going crazy over it:

Who's turn ? Don't make us wait longer please, it's a cool game, I want to play :D

Gerard and Ambreen can fight it out. Gerard answered the main question, but Ambreen answered the extra credit. The Webbs did build a bed on stilts that they put over their press to save room.

Those folks were hard core....

Bill

 

[shadowcatcher]

Been checking the timeline looking for cars owned and driven by Buk ,after the beemer comes an other one, i believe it's a ricecooker , anybody ?

 

[Ambreen]

A Rolls Royce

We fought. My uppercut made the difference.

What was Buk's favourite film ?

 

[David]

Eraserhead

 

[shadowcatcher]

A Rolls Royce

no not the hearse.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Or it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

 

[David]

Or Elephant Man

 

[Bukfan]

According to Sounes, "Eraserhead" was his all time favorite movie. He also liked, "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf", and, "All quiet On The Western Front"...
