Take that wikipedia!

Not before he signs his Novel for me, that guy is famous... I imagine it'll go for a few grand on ebay after he passes on.
 
[...] the bulk of it is Internet-centric bullshit written by a crowd of subnormals, mouth-breathers and shut-ins [...]
That's true for a lot of subjects.

However, wiki usually delivers correct information in cases, where there's proof and evidence and accepted sources, like here or here.

well, they removed the references to bukowski.net, and a very astute fellow named "nightranger" then got in a totally original dig about everyone on the site being 14 year-old girls. i swear i've never heard that one before. it reminds me of this zinger i've been working on (it's not quite ready yet, but it's getting close) where i tell people i disagree with on the internet that they are posting from their parents' basement! and obviously, someone whose handle is "nightranger" is pretty much the paragon of well-adjusted contemporary cool.

Ha. At first I was thinking, "What photo? There shouldn't be anything at that URL..."

That's circa 1968. The old man bought me that .22 pistol and we used to shoot at stuff around St. Paul (no, I didn't really shoot at barges, trains or people - not until I was much older). I guess things were a little different back then.
