At around 11:45, eager pillow-bearers began to congregate on the Butler lawn for the 4th annual Primal Scream/Pillow Fight, which this year featured over a hundred combatants. One claimed to have “stretched all day for this,” while several others wore capes. At about a minute before midnight, the two sides charged screaming towards each other, much to the amusement of the spectators who ventured from their campsites in Butler.
Though at first two sides charging at each other like some medieval melee, the fight quickly broke down to every man and woman for themselves. Warriors quickly adopted the language of the battlefield, including cries of “push him into the bushes and hit him,” “come and get me,” and “we don’t negotiate with terrorists!”
The fun did not begin to die down for almost twenty minutes, before many of the combatants slumped down on the grass. As one tired observer said, “I’ve never seen so many people willing to beat the shit out of each other.” Photo album after the jump.

@my favorite part is always the peace hill!
@Missed Connection Thought we were on the same side until you beat me with a pillow from behind. I was very attracted to your strong arms and quick action. Felt a connection immediately, although that might have been the concussion.
I was wearing a dirty Midnight Mania t-shirt and was bleeding from the ears.
@lyuda you’z famous now!
@Teehee That is the most beautiful display of… something I’ve seen in many years.
@hey Did anyone seen that guy who got a bloody nose? it was grosssss.
@haha I punched that guy good eh? I hope he learned to never go to a pillow fight and hit me with a pillow!
(jking, i just kicked the guy on the ground after someone else punched him to the ground)
@yea!!! someone showed me their pillow and there was blood all over it!
@not to generalize the pillow fight devolved after 15 minutes into football players who had to prove something? by hitting each other as hard as they could with pillows against the black kids. Seriously guys the point is not too hit each other as hard as you can to show how big you are. it’s to have fun and you football idiots just made it really annoying.
i was worried that with the football players hitting each other with all their force, they would break a hand and not be able to take an exam…then again they’d probably do the same on the exam whether or not they could write.
@ahahahahhaha Ahahahahha whatttttttt shut up loser what the fuck do you think the point of a pillow fight is? to lose? they were just having fun during finals chill the fuck out. “the pillow fight devolved after 15 minutes into football players who had to prove something? by hitting each other as hard as they could with pillows against the black kids.” whattttttt???? go home.
Also, yeah, the guy with the bloody nose is the guy on the far right in the blue shirt in the first picture after the jump. That shit was righteousssssss!
@Biggus Dickus I heart Discoe. Also, the KCST cuddle pic. I wish I hadn’t been essaying.
@i could look at discoe getting hit by a pillow for eternity. he looks like lee harvey oswald.
I DEMAND A FRACTAL OF THIS IMAGE
@DHI I got some good hits in on Kendale too. It was solid battle.
@oh man people are so fucking weird. i love this school
@you're the noob noob
@Dominique Kendale + Discoe = a battle of epic proportions. That mess was crazy.
@lol love the teenage mutant ninja turtles pillow case in the opening pic. is that robert holding that pillow?
i hope you all washed your pillows or at least changed the pillow cases before using the pillows again. you don’t know how nasty people can get during finals. i’ve seen people put personal hygiene on the back burner.
@oh yes it most certainly is rob. the TMNT pillow case is just TOO fitting.
@To the Dude that I p'wned You cocky SOB, you thought you were safe by not holding a pillow and sitting on the steps. I got your number bitch! i’m too wily for your “DUDE i’m not playing” bullshit.
Next time leave the wheel chair with your whore mother.
@hahaha lol
@really epic comment
@freshman noob why would you brag about that AND include your email? fail.
(though i admit, quite epic)
@To win the Bwog commenting challenge, obviously.
@yeah that’s what i was thinking. Though i think it’s the best candidate i’ve seen so far.
@EPIC LOLZ if bwog doesn’t give you a shirt, i will.
it will say: (front side) i beat defenseless people, and i like it (back side) go cry to your whore of a mother
@2150 this looks like so much fun!!!! why didn’t i take a study break!
@assholes the lawn is trashed with fuzzy foamy filling stuff now. some poor guy has to clean that up now (yes i realize hes paid to clean stuff but that doesnt mean you should make a mess for him) and littering/polluting as a result of a fun activity is no worse than littering/polluting from anything else. all you had to do was pick the crap up after you were done playing.
@agreed amen
@for the record that didn’t happen the last 3 times. i’ve been to all of them, and this one was definitely the biggest and most raucous.
@janitor it’s okay; i enjoy it when columbia students don’t ust stay indoors and pretend to care about people whose positions they don’t respect enough to fill
@yeaaaa yi-eyaaaahhh cookieeeeeeeee!!!
@ZOMG: That is a great shot of Lyuda. You rock, Lyuda.
@DISCO DINK CHAMPIONS OF THE SOUTH SIDE ATTACK FORCE!!!
