Your *strangest* Buk Piece

[HarryC13]

I have some of the masonite from the closet of Bukowski's Delongpre bungalow....
The plan is to grind it up and make it into paper. Thanks to a very nice buk.net member for sending it to me.

Bill, that is one of the greatest ideas ever, in fact brilliant. The only thing cooler would be if you could steal his ashes and sprinkle them into the mix ... :)

Man, when you gots people like James around, you abdicate the right to brag. His SHIRT? Jeez, amazing.

 

[mjp]

Someone is going to buy this and win the competition for the most stupid Bukowski item in one fell swoop...

 

[1fsh2fsh]

You've got to be fucking kidding!!! and besides the thing looks more like Dennis Miller.

 

[HarryC13]

It looks about as much like Bukowski as my dog does. Jesus.

i was thinking george carlin...

 

[bospress.net]

That bobblehead doll is from Greg Smith, of Motherroad Publications; publisher of Bukowski, Plymell & Michael J. Phillips...

Still, I have to say that the bobblehead looks like MJP more that Bukowski. You be the judge.

Bill

 

[1fsh2fsh]

hmmmmm......oh, now I see.....

 

[mjp]

Yeah, he made 300,000 of those, but when alternative man didn't become a best-seller he had my name covered over with Bukowski's. I couldn't blame him. Business is business.

... the bobblehead looks like MJP more that Bukowski.

this guy obviously can't recognize his own authors from each other.

 

[Bukfan]

It certainly does'nt look like Buk! - Jezuz, what's next? Buk as an action man? :D

 

[Black Swan]

Nice mug! - I think the drawing is made from a photo in The Outsider...

Btw, We could make our own official Buknet mug!

Bill Sikes is the man...

 

[marina del rey]

Less fun than a bobblehead

My vote for lamest item would be THIS.

I seriously can't think of a single cool thing about it.

 

[bospress.net]

Perfect for fans of Kirk Douglas.

Bill

 

[roni]

Buk as an action man?

i'd buy one.

i think it must have a button on it's back, when you push, he lifts a bottle.
and he must have a voice-computer built in, able to recite at least half a dozen poems.

Looks a little like George Washington to me:)

 

[HarryC13]

Hell, if people will buy Bukowski rubber stamps and bobbleheads, there's gotta be a market for a Bukowski condom.

I can see it now -- a little head (no pun intended) shot with "don't think" underneath ...

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Someone will market Beershit toilet paper.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

shhhhh! I'm still in negotiations.

 

[roni]

... there's gotta be a market for a Bukowski condom.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

roni is Father Luke's photo shop proxy. Good job on that roni.;)

 

[Bukfan]

Not a bad idea at all, Roni, but I prefer your ideas on how a Buk action man should look and sound...:D

 

[roni]

...I prefer your ideas on how a Buk action man should look and sound...

there you go:

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Good job roni! Father Luke has taught you well.
Hahahahahahaha! That did crack me up!

 

[james]

HAAA! very nice roni...

 

[roni]

special edition is available with:

- no neck (& bad as hell)
- shit stains in his underwear (too)
- vomit before quoting a poem

 

[Bukfan]

there you go:

That's more like it, Roni! :D
I like that he vomits before he recites a poem. That's just so realistic!
Are there different sizes and colors of shit stains one can put in his underwear?
I think we need a jacuzzi too, and a racing form, but maybe that's for the limited edition?
We also need a Jane action woman! We can't have a Buk action man without a Jane action woman. That would be like having a Barbie doll without Ken.
I would also like to suggest a John Martin action figure, complete with a printing press and all.
Not to mention action figures of Buk's poetry friends like Neeli, John Thomas, Steve Richmond etc.
I trust you can come up with some good proto types, Roni! If somebody can do it, then it's you! ;)

so that's my strangest buk pieces i suppose...and favorite!

Would you mind me asking how you established a relationship with Linda to be able to receive such awesome goodies? I'm terrible with the search function.

Thanks

'Can you *click* Bobby?'

 

[mjp]

i had posted these in the "best gift ever" thread but it seems fitting for this thread as well....
linda sent these items to me:

James, I've always meant to mention something about your cache there. If I were you, I would remove that envelope from the frame with the shirt. The envelope is likely made from an acidic (cheap) paper, and over the years that acid will start to break down the paper and may stain or discolor the shirt.

Unless you've rigged up some kind of acid-free barrier between the envelope and the shirt, in which case, forget I said anything.

nope, no acid-free barrier. thanks for the heads up. i've never really thought about that happening. maybe i'll frame the envelope under the shirt...
