Fuck it, We’ll Do It Live

Just so you know we’re still here for you, dear reader:
 

In His Really Lame Image

Existentialism posits that it is individuals who are ultimately responsible for the quality of their own lives and not some distant, omniscient deity. This is my last semester here at McGill and accordingly my final chance to submit something to The Red Herring. Why, you ask, have […]

Viva La Cigalution!

In my exponentially expanding list of people/groups that do me great psychological disservice, there is one group that I have been unable to dismantle, destroy, or dismember through the use of my meager vocabulary and crippling condescension: Cigots.
