It’s Our Fault

Posted 1:20pm Saturday 24th September 2022 by Fox Meyer

It’s fun writing about the Alpine Fault now because at some point in our lifetime it’s going to be all anyone is talking about. It feels like writing about the Christchurch earthquakes before they actually happened, or writing about how easy it would be to block the Suez Canal before the Read more...

Moaningful Confessions | Too spicy

Posted 9:17pm Sunday 18th September 2022 by Critic

So, we met on Tinder, as it goes. She was something pretty special, so after a few dates I decided to show off my skills in the kitchen with a candlelit dinner. I wanted to blow her (away) so I made the most creamy and decadent mushroom risotto a girl could ask for. I even got oyster mushrooms and Read more...

Horoscopes: Week 23

Posted 9:11pm Sunday 18th September 2022 by Critic

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 Aquarius, you should be proud of the progress you have made this year. Your journey of inner peace and comfort has been a great success, and you should give yourself a pat on the back for this.  Crime to investigate: Which flatmate stole your Read more...

The RTDs are coming for you and your loved ones

Posted 8:54pm Sunday 18th September 2022 by Chug Norris

Absolut Lime and Soda beats the record for the most generic RTD ever produced, but it is not alone. RTDs are multiplying at an alarming rate. Wine and beer now cower in the corners of liquor store fridges as piles of multi-coloured boxes with generic names like Grins, Larry, Dave, and Brins spread Read more...

Mr. Worldwide

This week, we have a photo sent to us by Ellie. We got last week’s correct, Fox was indeed in Bryant Park on the 4th of December, 2019, hitting P.K. Subban in the nuts with a hockey puck. Shot, Fox.  First thoughts: I see people, ships, a trail… Looks like Seattle or Read more...

Oh no please don’t stage a coup haha

Posted 7:20pm Sunday 18th September 2022 by Fox Meyer

Student politics are woefully exploitable. This week, there were meant to be six pages of profiles for the upcoming OUSA election, but they were cancelled literally the day before print because nobody had signed up to run for the positions. Yikes. That meant we had to fill six pages of content, Read more...

Moaningful Confessions | Tree hugger, butt fugger

Posted 7:14pm Sunday 11th September 2022 by Critic

To preface, none of this was actually *meant* to happen, but here goes.  So, this friend of a friend added me on Snapchat. Nothing major. I thought it was just a friendly thing – he ended up asking me to hook him up with some herbs, and we talked about that for a bit. Fast forward to Read more...

Horoscopes: Week 22

Posted 7:11pm Sunday 11th September 2022 by Critic

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 You need to understand boundaries and really assess your importance in some people's lives. You tend to overstep and while you may mean well, it can come off as inappropriate to others.  Goal for the week: hitting all your steps.   Pisces Feb Read more...

Booze Review | Cody’s Bourbon and Cola is Criminally underrated.

Posted 7:01pm Sunday 11th September 2022 by Chug Norris

Cody’s has many negative associations, several of which are fair. As previous booze reviews have mentioned, it is the drink of choice of 12 year-olds at skate parks throughout the country. For many, the drink is reminiscent of alcohol-fueled injuries and social decay. But these prejudiced Read more...

This week, we have an image supplied by Fox. We got last week’s correct, Trish was in Lusthusportens park, Stockholm.  First thoughts: Clearly a populous city, maybe some sort of event taking place around Christmas. Looks quite American. It’s clearly Christmas, and Read more...

Editorial: Embracing Indigenous Knowledge is the only way to get ourselves out of this mess

Posted 5:23pm Sunday 11th September 2022 by Annabelle Parata Vaughan (Ngāi Tahu)

Over the past 20 years, Aotearoa has made a more conscious effort to embrace te reo, tikanga and mātauranga Māori. Other parts of Aotearoa have made a conscious effort to double down on their racism, and drag the rest of us down with them. We’ve seen a revitalisation in the use of Read more...

Moaningful Confessions | Ted’s Bundy

Posted 8:40pm Saturday 3rd September 2022 by Critic

Being a broke Uni student, everyone does things to earn a little extra cash. For me, it was selling my body. A man, who we shall call Dave, who I’ve done a few things for, asked me one fateful evening if I could join in for a threesome. I kindly declined. However, I don’t think he got Read more...

Horoscopes: Week 21

Posted 8:38pm Saturday 3rd September 2022 by Critic

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 Sometimes, your airheaded ways can cause you to drift off, leaving you un-present during conversations. Work on this and learn how to live in the moment, as this time of life is often so fleeting.  Hangover cure: more shots.    Pisces Feb 19 Read more...

Booze Review | Steinlager Pure makes an embarrassment of Steinlager Classic

Posted 8:33pm Saturday 3rd September 2022 by Chug Norris

Steinlager Pure is like the younger sibling that outshines their elder in every way. Despite the marketing for both drinks being so similar that even experienced piss fiends would confuse them, the Pure version of Steinlager is infinitely better than its Classic cousin. But the quality of Pure also Read more...

Skuxx Food | Chicken and Chorizo Paella

Posted 8:30pm Saturday 3rd September 2022 by Rosie Joyce @skuxxfood

If you’re feeling it, swap the chicken for prawns – this is more traditional and very skuxx. Simply add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking. I also like to chuck a seasonal green in there for #health, silverbeet or spinach works well! Serves 5  Ingredients:  Olive Read more...

This week, we have an image supplied by Trish. We got last issue’s submission correct: Chris was in section 266 of Capital One Arena, for the Roger Waters gig in Washington, D.C. We guessed just one level up, but the same section. First Thoughts: It’s gloomy, it’s dreary, Read more...
