Well, the 'writing in a pub' part was definitely thought while still under
the influence of Buk. Though I've often practiced the venerable Michael
McNeilley's advice: "Write drunk, edit sober"; I've found, after wasting

P.S. Wisdom: Of the six people in the U.S. with the last name of "Faustus",
three of them live in Texas and none of the six is a Doctor.
P.P.S. Knowledge: After that I looked up "craic".
