36 CommentsAt 3:05am, the comment below from “Anonymous” appeared on our nickname contest post. Soon after, Dean Valentini (unsolicited) confirmed in an e-mail to Bwog that this comment is authentic and the offer genuine.
Yes, this really is the Dean posting. I think a Milano sandwich is way too small a prize for the winner of a contest as personally important to me as this one. So, I am adding to the prize. The winner––however decided and identified––gets to have that Milano sandwich at lunch with the Dean, and gets to have his/her picture taken with the Dean holding a brass name plate engraved with the winning suggestion. Said name plate will then reside on the Dean’s desk; said picture will be given to Bwog for posting.
However, the hug has to come from someone else.
Deal?

DEAL. We’ve chosen some of the best suggestions from the comments, and it’s up to you now to vote in the poll on the right. Once a winner has been determined, we will ask the winning commenter to contact us and verify that they indeed posted the comment. Polls close next Sunday at 5pm!

@Anonymous Val-LUM
@Hmm D-Val.
@FW Deantini.
@K Oh how I adore Valentini. What a great guy. He made me like gchem1…. Do his new dean responsibilities mean he won’t be teaching anymore?
@Anonymous Aw man, I really wanted Valendeani.
@P How is VaJJ losing?
@Peeves Eeny meeny Valentini
@Anonymous Come on, Peeves, you can do better than that! I’m surprised you didn’t go for “teeny weeny Valentini.”
@JAVA JAVA JAVA JAVA
@Anonymous too many syllables. deantini is smooth, like my martinis! which leads to my next question… what ingredients shall i use to make a deantini next week? 2oz platinum, 1oz gold?
@I don't have a drinking problem This is an important question. Can we get Deantini to weigh in on this weighty issue?
@Deantini Is turning out to be pretty cool!!
@Anonymous but seriously, he’s gotta be one of the coolest deans ever. why didnt they chose him instead of moody-adams in the first place?
@Seriously? Being willing to have lunch and take a humorous picture with a student does not make him a great Dean. That remains to be seen. MMA supported many students throughout her short tenure. Let’s not dismiss her simply because she didn’t post on Bwog!
@Anonymous no but if first impressions matter, its a pretty good start.
@umm they chose her because moody-adams was a serious academic who cared about the future of the college, and not ingratiating herself with students.
@Anonymous are you saying he’s not a serious academic? and why do the two functions have to be mutually exclusive? ingratiating oneself with the students is a huge part of being a dean…
@Anonymous DEAN VAGINA DEAN VAGINA
@DeVal Tastes like Duval
@Anonymous What about DJ Valentini?
@Deangonair sounds really gross and superficial. Deantini ftw
@Anonymous What? Deantini is evolving!
Deantini evolved into Deangonair!
@shit which stone did you use?
@Gary Oak I’m against Deantini because I only want a dean who’s fully evolved.
@Anonymous SERIOUSLY, GUYS!!!!!!!
VAJJ is hilarious…. and no, I am not the one who submitted the name. but props to whoever did
@Thanks, broski For the record, I also submitted J-Tini (track button can testify to that). I don’t expect either to win though – especially with Deantini out there, absolutely dominating.
Valentini’s name lends itself to some awesome nicknames, and I’m glad that our community is both creative and ambitious enough to jump on the opportunity.
@Anonymous JJDeani
or DJeani!!!
@mom how about a recyclable, reusable, egalitarian and inoffensive nickname? i suggest “nudean” (pron. new-dean, for those wondering). each successive new dean could have the first syllable of her/his name attached, such as “nudean val” for valentini. moody-adams would have been “nudean mood”.
@Anonymous Hey mom, Bwog is for cooooool people. And I find nudean to be very offensive, and too similar to nude dean, which is an unacceptable Freudian slip. VaJJ FTW!
@Anonymous ahahahahaa
@Anonymous Only issue is… won’t it be hard to find the one person who proposed each name? The comments are anonymous, won’t everyone come forward and say it was them?
Also… I’m starting to like this guy. :)
@romantic post deadline, I know. But still:
Valentine Jay,
or Valentines J.
@FIRST .
@SECOND hey assholes, I voted for VaJJ, and it shows 0%. Elections are rigged.
@SECOND,... hey assholes, I voted for VaJJ, and it shows 0%. Elections are rigged.
