Wow, that's quite a bit of interesting tidbits that I've gotten here.
So basically I should baste myself in butter and go about talking myself up while throwing money at people?
I guess it's worth a shot.
Ox,
Do you have something you'd like to tell us? Is Red a relative?

I'll settle for the basted in butter part. I'll be Marlon Brando.

No more than a poor and rather transparent imitation, I'm afraid.

I like Bukowski's story(ies) about telling people he's a writer. The one where his boss brings in another "writer" just so they can sit and stare at Bukowski is hilariously depressing.
And I thought of Kramer when the butter basting was mentioned, but Brando's good too.
