UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Edwards Roi


Act I

Mere Edwards: If I were you, what I'd want to do with my arse would be to install it on a throne. You could increase your fortune indefinitely, have sausages whenever you liked, and ride through the streets in a carriage.

Pere Edwards: If I were King of Orange County, I'd have a big headpiece...

Mere Edwards: And you could get yourself an umbrella and a great big cloak that would go right down to your feet.

Pere Edwards: Ah! I yield to temptation. Clod of a shitter, shitter of a clod...

Mere Edwards: Oh good, Pere Edwards, now you're a real man.


Act II

Pere Edwards: Huh! I'm getting rich! I'm going to have MY list of MY property read. Clerk, read MY list of MY property.

Clerk: County of Orange. Chapel on the Hill. Raleigh Town. County of Randolph.

Pere Edwards: Is that all?

Clerk: That's all.

Pere Edwards: Pshit. I'm off to get some more. Mere Edwards, I leave the regency in your hands. But I've got the cash book on me, so you'll regret it if you rob me.
