Ah, Columbia freshmen: still vulnerable to the classic street scam. This one, written up in The New Yorker, involved a broken bottle, “pink stuff,” and babies.
Lesson learned: If you break something, just keep on walking.

@hmm x 2 The fact that it’s in quotes probably means they heard a similar description from different people. But then, it is the Spec…
@hmm with all the discussion the Russell Rickford item about vaguely racist statements, it’s kinda interesting that the spec refers to these two as “homeless looking” in the second paragraph.
@How? Because we have mohawks and goatees and get text messages from our mothers?
@bad stuff the piece made it out to be a con when really it resembled more of a mugging–the guy was ripped.
the writer was angry he didn’t get into columbia and wants to pretend we’re farmer hicks.
@go spec w00t. w00t i say.
@CUE I’d just like everyone to notice my shout-out in the article, too. w00t

@Don't spill the beans The story’s meant to be sold not told.
@psh they’re totally scary guys
@their photos together …on the facebook are really, totally scary
@I think This was in a quickspec a while back. Though told by the New Yorker, the story is much funnier. Also, they make Francis and Nick seem like big scary guys with a mohawk and a goatee, but they are not at all.
