...into The Druid, another classic Irish watering hole. The Druid dedicates itself primarily to serving up a patriotically fine Guinness and Irish whiskey, but it also has a decent food menu, too. Students don't usually come to The Druid, but that's almost completely due to its location--smack dab in between Harvard and Central on the Red Line--rather than the friendly waitstaff and killer drinks. Pop in on a night when the infamously gregarious Pat Delaney's working the bar. He's sure to make your evening worth the trip...

...handcuffed 19-year-old and planted a rifle on him to cover it up. And then in 2,000 pages of riveting testimony, Perez yanked back a curtain on a dark, dime-store-novel world in which cops routinely frame the innocent by planting ("throwing down") drugs and guns, smack around ("thump") citizens on the street for kicks and perjure themselves ("join the liar's club") to get convictions...

...actions within the realm of sports ought to stay subject only to the laws of sports. Marty McSorley did not go up to Brashear in a bar and smack him over the head with an empty Bud Light bottle--he did it in the context of a violent game.

...same time, though, there are bits of fm, small bits granted, that smack of truth and reality (and sometimes even effort), the very cornerstones of sincerity. As proof, take a look at our hard-hitting Abercrombie expos. Or maybe try our models on for size. Christ, it doesnit get any more facile that that. Of course, there is a fine line between what is sincere and what is sentimental. Youill find that, in order to stay on the left side of that line, weive eschewed such journalistic conventions as fact-checking and grammar...

...left for Christina, thinking she'll empathize with my distress. She isn't even standing. Her face is blank, passionless. This can't be; Mankind, the heart of WWF, is a motionless lump on the mat, and Christina doesn't even care! I can't believe it. SMACK! Oh no...it's over. But wait...the official declares Al Snow disqualified for using the chair. Mankind did win! Ha! He didn't disappoint me! I realize that his victory was scripted, but I really don't care. It is he, and other professional wrestlers like him, who give me hope...
