SAVAGE

 



Yes, Pam Bondi, JD Vance and all of that, but what about the actual Savage, the Savage Club in London. Good question. The illustrious Savage began in 1857 at a pub in central London, as a place where journalists and theater people who couldn't make the Garrick could hang out. Bohemian gentlemen, if you like.




For decades the Savage moved from place to place, finding a home in the jolly old NatLib until they were kicked out for not allowing wymxn to join. Now brother savages have found a new home off of Covent Garden. I look forward to visiting the new club house later in the year.

Their tie features a Red Indian with feathered head-dress. What an excellent symbol for an excellent Club.

Felicitatis Petenda,

LSP

And then there is Land-O-Lakes brand, who ditched the Indian maiden but kept the land.

As a practising solicitor, I may have to send them an inquiry.
