This may be the only forum in the universe that my workplace doesn't have blocked. I win.

Favorite short story?

Hmm... it was a story in "South of No North." I can't remember the name.

Good to see some younger guys grappling with Bukowski! What's the story of your username?

 

[5:28am]

Ah, no real story. It was the time I created an account here.

welcome 528.
Hope you don't get inspired by your avatar too much an shoot yourself in the chest.

Ha! Telling me there's no story behind joining a Bukowski forum at 5 and change in the am??? Spill it man, this is your thread.

The backstory:
I work nights for an abuse hotline. There are days when I have 2-3 hours of inactivity but I can't leave the phone unattended. So I'm stuck in front of a computer that has 99% of all forums and websites blocked. I can't even access the wiki page for William S. Burroughs "Naked Lunch." But somehow, bukowski.net slipped past the filter.

And I found it at 5:28am. :cool:

In this case, any hour of inactivity is a blessing.
How about reading books, while you're there?
