Question
- Thread starter Winters
- Start date
ROC
It is what it is
"What are you waiting for? Click one of those futuristic links over there on the left and join the cult. We accept you, one of us, one of us... "
It is on the homepage.
I think what may be missing here is Winters sense of humor.
Charles Bukowski is a writer - short stories, poems, novels, etc.
We all really like his writing.
Some of us are collectors of his books. They were lovingly printed and many are scarce and/or limited.
The reference to a cult is humorous. Nothing more.
The fact that you didn't intuit this leads me to suspect you may not 'get' CBs writing, which also contains much humor. Add to this the fact that you did not bother to investigate further before asking a (to me - obviously) stupid question, and my nuf-nuf alarm goes off.
Whilst I don't wish you any specific harm, I hope that you do whatever it is you do away from here - read some Buk if you want to - and come back if you have something positive to add.
Yup

stop the penistry
if this person "winters" doesn't get that the reference to this being a "cult" is supposed to be light-hearted then he CERTAINLY will not find Buk very entertaining at all... he should probably just give it up now.
my friend would describe mr. winters as: "witty as a mathematical equation"

Too perfect :D
Yet why should our church be dividing our Psalms, our Books of the Bukowski?
Let us combine them.....
Cold Dogs on Rye,
Flower, Fist Bring Me Your Love
and
All the Assholes Begin to Bleed a Bit....
Anyone else??
There are so many combinations to discover Winter!!

Hi,
I would gladly count this post as 2. Hell, it far more interesting than most of mine! LAst I looked at it, mjp had about 2000 posts. I know that I will never catch him and I am losing sleep over it:eek: . That and the fact that GrayXray hates me and wants me dead.... He has to get in line behind a couple others...
Hey, off topic.... I picked up a copy of the ultra-rare broadside "Pastoral" on ebay the other day. Paid $99. I'll get a full scan to mjp for the website. That is a truly rare one. Only 4 copies have ever been released. I know all four people that have them now. Sadly, as more are sold, the value of my copy will go down... I still can't believe tha no one else fought me for it. That being said, I did pay $99 for a sheet of paper. Some would not consider that a wise move. If my wife knew she'd be pissed....

I saw that you won that with your patented early bid. Congrats. A scan would be great.
I got into the habit of posting a lot to keep things flowing in the early days. But now I can barely keep up with the new posts, so I guess things are flowing just fine.

"The law is wrong; I am right"
I have one: Hank on rye...:)
I also have a question. There's a quote where Bok says that after his death there will be formed societies and clubs. It's supposed to be from 1992. Does anyone know where I can find it? I have loosely checked Reach For The Sun and Sunlight here I Am. It does not appear to be in any of those...

If anything, Bill Roberts does not need or like to the center of attention. Bill would hardly post for the hell of it. He is a hard working, multi-talented Bukophile who is well liked by people in the CULT. Now myself, I like to be the center of attention and although I love Buk am not hard working or multi-talented. Members of the CULT know that I post to get my numbers up and am not well liked although my mother says I am. Winters if you were a member of the CULT you would know all this.

Hi Ross,
Actually, I do like to be the center of attention, but also like to pretend that I don't like it. That is very PoMo of me, I know.
Also, I very hard working, but only at things that do not make me any money, so my intelligence should be called into question.
All best,
Bill

You mean this one? http://www.modmouse.com/forum/
I tried to register there so I could ask about the cult of Modest Mouse, but all I got was:
Sorry, registration has been disabled by the administrator.
I would have tried this one: http://forums1.epicrecords.com/Artists/ModestMouse/ but I couldn't wait the 15 minutes for each page to load.
I'm afraid I give up. The cult of Modest Mouse will remain a mystery.
Modest Mouse Bukowski
Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole? God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
Well we sat on the edge of the river, the crowd screamed "Sacrifice the liver!" If God takes life, he's an Indian giver. So tell me now why you'll tell me never. Who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak? Well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten, our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!
If God controls the land and disease, and keeps a watchful eye on me, if he's really so damn mighty, well my problem is that I can't see, well who'd wanna be? Who'd wanna be such a control freak? Well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?
Well all that icing and all that cake, I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'm gonna be at your wake. You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day, when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?
Went to bed and didn't see why every day turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
I recall the god indian giver line in a much older and better Rainmakers song.
