She has great flask-hiding skills, which is one of the many reasons we love her.

Wait, am I the only person who thinks that THS playing a Christian college music festival makes complete sense? Seeing THS is pretty much as close to a religious experience as a secular humanist can get.

I can't see this band without a beer in my hand.... in case anyone else was wondering ... it appears the show in question is grand rapids, michigan @ calvin college personally, i don't think the band is "chasing the money" also, i don't think drinking is a big deal at ths shows ... i don't drink much at them

Oh My God. Where do you get those? Here, you can buy them at a gag shop called Spensers... For you, probably online.

Will CF sing, "We kissed in your car and we fucked in your church" during Massive Nights is the bigger question.

I think it'd be cheaper to make a book flask holder thing yourself. I went to the Salvation Army, found a suitable book for a dollar (no Bible, so I had to settle on a dollar copy of The Warren Commission Report), and carved it out with an Exacto knife. One dollar and some carpal tunnel for an awesome whisky holding book, worth it

what was that Simpsons episode where somebody was saved from being shot by his Bible, flask, pocket knife, lucky coin, etc?

It's well known I don't booze. I think we should get a designation on our shirts, but then we'd have to drive everyone home.

Speaking as a survivor of a Christian College (Bethel - long story), I can say this will be the best thing to ever happen to the poor bastards of Calvin College if they have the good sense to appreciate what is in front of them.

like this (props to WD): When Selby & Griggs and I started dating, I went to experience Thanksgiving with her family. Within about 15 minutes of meeting her grandpa Earl, the crazy bastard pulled me aside and said "hey Misterselby, check this out." Before I could fully process what was happening, he was pulling a huge leatherbound book out of his china hutch. Like magic, the book opened to reveal a small metallic flask. Earl poured a clear liquid into a tablespoon, got someone to hand him a lighter, and set the liquid on fire. It emitted a low, purple-blue flame. "It's pure, misterselby, it's so pure!" Grandpa Earl exclaimed, cackling with delight. A small jam jar containing a few fingers of the clear liquid was thrust into my hand. I downed it. It burned like napalm. I must have made a face. Much laughter and back-slapping ensued. Later I was told that Earl had worked some construction jobs with some guys from Tennessee. When the job ended, they left Earl with a mason jar worth of genuine TN white lightnin'. As Earl's third wife is none too approving of the demon rum, he was forced to keep his liquid treasure semi-concealed in the hollowed-out book and could only bring it out on special occasions - which apparently included hazing his granddaughter's 20-year-old boyfriend into the family by having him do shots of moonshine before the Thanksgiving dinner. The rest of that night is pretty hazy for me. All I can say is thank you, Grandpa Earl.
