I’ve been missing a green notebook for my Evolutionary Basis of Human Behavior (EEEBW4010) class since Feb. 7th. It should have the name Kimberly Young written inside. It was last seen in the Schapiro computer lab. If found, please contact kty2102@columbia.edu
The purse has large red circles on it, and contained an ID card, keys, wallet, pink headphones, Metrocard, and other important things. Last seen in Schermerhorn 614. If found, please contact rdc2125@barnard.edu
Hi, I’m missing a black LL Bean Backpack, last seen in the lounge of Broadway 12 during the Super Bowl. It’s black, with the initials “BCB,” embossed in grey. It contains an Apple laptop and several important books. If found, contact bcb2131@columbia.edu.
I lost a Lion Laundry bag full of gym items. Contact sac2171.
Black puffy coat with two layers and Burberry plaid pattern on lining. Last seen at Lerner Party Space during Black Students Organization (BSO) party on January 20. Please contact jyc2130@columbia.edu if found. Reward offered.
Yellowish ivory scarf with a lot of print on it. Most likely to be found at 504 Diana or LRC SIPA. If found then you shall be rewarded with my eternal gratitude. Contact: an2503@barnard.edu
Last seen in the Hartley computer lab at around 9 am, on 1/30/12. No case; no password; background is a generic picture of a rower on a lake. About 2 years old and showing its wear. Contact: etp2109.
Last seen at Il Cibreo on January 19 around 1am. It’s beige cashmere with unique colors which complete the original burberry pattern. If you took it by accident please contact aln2133@columbia.edu. If you took it because you like it, not cool.
I lost my umbrella today in Schermerhorn 612. I had class until 12:15, went back tonight around 6 pm, and it was gone. It is Paris themed, so it has the eiffel tower, arc du trimpuh etc. Email lgg2110@barnard.edu.Thanks!
damn. Why wasn’t my girlfriend’s sexy______________ included?
I guess you could say I’m buy-curious…
Jesus Christ that Magritte one blows my mind. I’m really impressed by a lot of these.
analyst and therapist. I was the world’s first analrapist.
Gargoyle shoulda been a finalist…
decide! Reni’s is really creative, although I’m a little disturbed by the nipples haha. The gargoyle is so elaborate and good. The Magritte is brilliant. Ahmadinejad was inevitable but i LOVE it. And Parker Fishel’s Woody Allen expression? spot on.
Cheetah for sho
illegal border crosser… ugh! are you fucking kidding me?
ooh look at me. i go to university in one of the most expensive places to live in the world! i’m going to mock the people who do more hard work in a single day then i’ll ever do in my entire life. look at me, i’m so obnoxiously bourgeois.
if you’re going to include someone who mocks the underclass in the list of finalists, then where’s the dude with blackface? if we’re gonna party that way, then why pull any punches?
crosser automatically does more hard work in one day than a person who goes to columbia does in their life?
FAIL. ENORMOUS FAIL.
anyway. awesome contest bwog.
totally looked photoshopped to me too.
It’s a printout of the apple from the painting attached to her hat or face.
You obviously have never crossed the border…why don’t you go do that and then compare that to Columbia. Oh wait, you wouldn’t even survive the bordercrossing. FAIL -Now go stfu. And you bitches wonder why the minorities stay away from you.
with people like you, who needs illogical charicatures?
how is the woody allen/soon-yi kim duo costume a finalist over the gargoyle? they’re just wearing their own clothes and looking disaffected.
i sense some bwog nepotism here…
Gargoyle shouldve been one of the finalists
The Parker and Tang duo= STUPID. Not a costume AT ALL. Bwog stop giving in to the dumb art hispters
Reni nearly made me vomit. Those nipples are disgusting. No one needs to see that
is amazing.
is sexy
but I have to agree that some of those runner-ups definitely should have made it over some of the finalists.

to kathi han. But she stole my costume from 3 yrs ago (she did a million times better vesus my ganny smith attached to styrofoam, but who’s counting)!
have to chirp in for the gargoyle too- its pretty awesome
I love Lili Gu but Reni’s costume is pure sex
I guess. If you’re a member of NAMBLA.
while i still think she is hipster scum and a miserable attention whore, i must admit that reni made a pretty convincing bowie. dammit.
doesnt anyone else think the apple looks photoshopped in on son of man?
Are you telling some apple on the face is beating an actual homemade airplane? Shit, a bunch of people got apples in the face at graduation, and nobody gave them a prize.
I love the phrase “actual homemade airplane.” If that is an actual functional airplane, I change my vote.
is totally photoshopped on.
RECOUNT! RECOUNT!
where is peter gallotta?
with the airplane is that it took up too much space in 1020′s narrow hall
The Airplane should absolutely win…or the cheetah.
The bluest, booist,biggest, brainiest I’ve ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no! For some reason my camera didn’t pick up the sock bulge in my pants. Now I just look…crude. Sorry guys, I thought that photo was way funnier last night. Maybe it’s the midterm sleep deprivation.
is too bad. The sock bulge in your pants would have definitely made you look classy.
i can see it a little… but u look exactly like david bowie!!
i think jeremy is the sexiest
The gargoyle was not a finalist because he doesn’t seem to have any affiliation with Columbia.
The gargoyle was incredible.
reni’s lightning bolt is backwards
that airplane is amazing. a couple of the others are clever, but the airplane is in a league of its own.
…banger in the mouth? Oh, right, I forgot…here in the States, you call it a ‘sausage’ in the mouth.
We just call it a sausage.
you are the man.
did aporia pay the kid to dress up as son of man?
CHESTER THE CHEETAH
Shame the gargoyle wasn’t eligible, he so would have won.
Also, I saw the Son of Man last night as I walked to the subway to go down to the parade, the apple’s definitely not photoshopped on, it was actually pinned to the hat. I think I saw the airplane, too. Good times.
Don’t lean on me Reni, cause you cant afford the ticket.
puhlllease… don’t try to justify making fun of the poor with psuedointellectual bullshit.
seriously… “illegal border crosser” is a fucking disgrace to this school and this nation. bwog’s endorsement of it makes me sick.
hey bwog! i’m thinking of dressing up as a starving nigerian next year for halloween! think i have a shot at winning your contest? i can even hand out novelty “hiv” candies! how funny!
there’s a fine line between ironic humor and being a bunch of bourgeois upper middle class pricks who find humor in those less fortunate. you assholes have crossed the line.
I’m politically ignorant and even I got the joke of the border crosser costume. You’re supposed to dress up as something scary for Halloween, and there’s nothing Red Staters find more frightening than illegal aliens. Except maybe a ban on cousin marriage. It’s not poking fun at the lower classes, it’s poking fun at the Minutemen and their ilk.
BORUSSIA FOREVER!!!
Can someone ban Reni Laine from commenting on here? This isn’t your fucking fansite, none of us like you here.
Let’s face it, there’s a 99% chance that you wouldn’t say that if you weren’t anonymous, especially to her face, so why say it now? And if you would actually say it in other circumstances, then you’re even more of an asshole (and that is something given the circumstances I would call you even without anonymity).
Whether you like her or not doesn’t really matter. I mean I bet most people here don’t like you but you probably post more often than she does. The only difference is she actually identifies herself and doesn’t insult other people so you can call her out and insult her.
here comes the “let’s defend reni laine parade.” don’t bother.
no one cares man, stop defending her, and also let’s stop saying that we dislike her. it’s a known fact, everyone is in on it, we all feel the same.
I love her… and so does everyone I know.

HER NAME IS KAYTHI!!!! K-A-Y-T-H-I. Yay!
Kaythi Han for the WIN! Kaythi for prez.
The Gargoyle is just as good as the airplane. Maybe better.
There is no way that the gargoyle is as good as the airplane. That picture does not do the airplane justice I saw it on campus and it was incredible. A structural masterpiece. It has a 6 foot wingspan, the wings fold up to get through doors, and its over 6 feet long from front to back.
Give it up for the Plane.
are all bitch fucks
somebody learned how to refresh cookies and vote for teh plane repeatedly
Reni Lane has it hands down!
… but none of the other costumes where scary either (except maybe the gargoyle?). so, still patently offensive. i don’t understand why someone would even go there, or why bwog would post it.
Reni Laine, the androgin lady, no doubt.
Can anybody tell me where to find her?
I voted Lili because I couldn’t stop laughing at her expression.
