we were going to call our first book A Common Fallopian Tube, but somehow ended up with A Common Thread instead.

dennis, i would also suggest a name change - not because it's offensive necessarily, but because of all the stoner-poetry you'll receive. you'll feel compelled to read all the subs you get, just in case there's a gem in there, but it gets painful pretty quickly.

Yes, Purple Stickpin, you do sound like a prude, not unlike many of the supposed Bukowski fans who post here...ironic, yes? Did you forget about the title Laugh Literary and Man the Humping Guns? Your main objective in life seems to be to not piss off your bosses, but here you are a big wig on a site dedicated to an outsider...Did you forget that Buk wrote many things that got him in trouble with the post office, but, strange, he just wrote them anyway. Or is it just easier to deal with Buk now that he is dead, because you are isolated from his real energy and zest for life? Kind of like Barker saying the guy in the interview was rude and not a very "likeable" guy...Oh shit, what a crime! Not likable! String him up! Bukowski was likeable to the few he liked, but I doubt he would even have tolerated more than a couple of you guys for more than five minutes. You sound like the very kind of people he raged his whole life against. Can't you see that?

Yes, it's a tough "row" to hoe...
 
but I doubt he would even have tolerated more than a couple of you guys for more than five minutes.

I think you mean US guys
 
I apologize for posting this thread now. I thought this might be a good idea, but it's turned south, fast. MJP, i apologize for creating a monster on a board I enjoy.

Feel free to delete this, if need be.

I think that the post was fine. We hope that it works out for you in the end. We had concerns that the title would be seen as a joke and that it would not give you the kind of material that you wanted (stoner poetry).

Either way, keep doing what you are doing. We need more people interested.

At least you did not ask if Buk was left handed!

i think that the 1000th person to use the "bukowski would have hated you guys" line should get a free t-shirt.

Jordan! haha, I gotta agree. Even being a member here shy of a year, I have read that a lot!

ok, "Bukowski would have hated us all!"

and now do I get a free t-shirt?

kudos to dennis for taking this whole thread on the chin and not getting into a defensive tizz. people here were blunt, but not malicious, and you clearly understood that. that's often a rare thing around here.
 
And I never meant anything I posted to be a blow to his chin; just an observation. I think I played that OK. As for the remainder; I feel I have the right to like the writers I like and live the way I live. We don't all need to be "on the cutting edge" as it were. I rather prefer my relative anonymity.

oh, yeah!
how often do we need to repeat FUCK CUNT PUSSY to make it to #1 on Google?

i think that the 1000th person to use the "bukowski would have hated you guys" line should get a free t-shirt.
the 1000th? I think we'd need to get waaaay back in time for that one.


ps:
FUCK CUNT PUSSY
 
Remembering "Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts" and others. I don't really like Pot Brownie Massacre either, Dennis, but hell, why not? Maybe just a little readjusting would work: call it the "Brown Potty Massacre." I guess then you'd get poems about shit, but when I called my magazine Pig in a Poke I can't remember getting any poems about pigs and just a few about poking.

It's my birthday but remind me to submit when I am more sober. Having fun drinking Remy Martin (no relation to John) cognac in bed with my wife. Who is way hot and sweet to me.

Here's to your new venture!!! We've talked before and I'm glad somebody with your cojones is attempting this.
