  • Four Pines Stout (Guest Post by The Devil Drink)

  • University Bar Beer and Chips

    FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS permanent—or so, apocryphally, did Steve Waugh appropriate a cricketer’s hundred year-old cliché. The aphorism’s also served as a common student politician’s reasonably witty running joke, punning on the Marxist sense of class conflict, and it’s served as at least one conservative candidate’s election motto, that I know about.1

  • Dry July (Guest Post By The Devil Drink)

    Lee Marvin is the Devil Drink

    PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE myself, I am a man of wealth and taste. I’ve been around for many a long year… and while Liam hasn’t been looking I’ve pinched the keys to the blog and I’m fanging it around for a joyride—or at least the closest thing to it you can get between speed bumps and school zones and chicanes and traffic lights in this pissant Nanny State. I’ve got the ghost of Hunter S. Thompson polishing a Smith & Wesson M&P .38 Special in the passenger seat and the ghost of someone who says she’s Janis Joplin in the back. Hunter seems to believe her, and if 66.6% of the car says that’s who she is, who am I to go against a majority? Especially as half the majority is holding a gun. But I digress.
