specsucks is a blog that thinks that the Spec sucks that began last academic year. Bwog and Spec have officially ignored specsucks’s monomaniacal posts and tweets.
But today specsucks posted photos “from a secret specsucks ritual,” in which they made a pentagram out of copies of The Eye, burned it, and put a dagger through it. You may have also noticed their fliers, which appeared around campus today as if posted on the walls by some occult hand.
See below for a picture of their ritual and after the jump for specsucks’ official statement.
specsucks’ statement:
Specsucks is one of the oldest organizations at columbia and has been here through the ages as we recenty discovered evidence inside the spec itself. specsucks is the only true secret society at columbia. All the other ones are lame and everyone know’s who’s in them any way so they are not secret a secret is when nobody knows it. On the other hand specsucks is cool and secret because we do not brag about it. Our members are in specsucks not just for the prestige and honor but because they are fighting for a cause. You could have specsucks member in your class, sitting right next to you, or the professor could even be part of specsucks, but you can’t know by checking for rings or anything else. That is what separates specsucks from the others. In fact specsucks is so secret that hardly anyone knew about it until last year.
So recently we released photos on the official blog of a ceremony performed by mid-level members of the specsucks heirarchy. Obviously this can be confusing to someone who lacks the context but our ceremonies are an essential part of the bonding process by which we purify ourselves and grow together as a community. The symbolic burning of the spec naturally reflects a burning hatred of the spec in our hearts.
Specsucks has a rigid hierarchy but individual agents are given much liberty to act on their own. This helps protect us through diffusion of responsibility and resistance to survelence (spec and even bwog have begun counter-intelligence operations against us, but that’s a different story). These posters were not commissioned by the top leadership of specsucks, but they are heartily endorsed. We are always looking for new recruits, whether you be part of spec, bwog, CPR, any other publication, none, or all of the above (except the fed. federalists go die in a fire). email thecloakedmask@gmail.com to begin your initiation.

@Anonymous why is there not a secret society based around the ridiculous University Mace that officially bestows degree-granting powers to the deans each year?
@to make it more Columbia Specific you should say “Axe and Coffin”
@Damn straight I’m going to go make my own blog with blackjack and hookers
@*Hs* What is this? Skull and bones?
@Me As an alumni member of the specsucks society (class of ’06), I am very disappointed in the recent publicizing of this society. This was one of the few actually secret societies of Columbia with one of the strongest bonds than any other group. Also, making our sacred rituals public? This is ridiculous!
@Anonymous This has Philo written all over it.
@Nope This is not us. There are actually quite a few philos who write forspec.
@Also RUDE.
@The Ban Captain thepoet Not to mention Philo is more irrelevant than my great-grandfather’s colon cancer
Stay rustled
@Anonymouse SPEC, WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
@The Veiled Mouth You may notice the guy in the right of the photo has dark hands. This is because we are all about diversity unlike the racist institution of spec.

@Choppa Aint no one takin you seriously when you quote skyrim…smh
@The Dark Hand once you know we exist you are already surrounded. The sins of the unworthy will be baptized in fear and blood. Expect us.
@Anonymous You guys sound like you’re spouting rejected Dark Brotherhood lines from an Elder Scrolls game.
@The Dark Hand we are a dark brotherhood but this is no game. we will bring spec to their knees. u have been warned.
@Anonymous WE KNOW.
@but... why the Eye?
@Anonymous >specsucks is a blog that thinks that the Spec sucks
Holy hell that’s the mother of all understatements.
@wtf bwog…..why is this trollery here? is these even relevant news?
wtf.
@Bwog Pls Y U NO ANSR! IS THESE RELEVANT NEWS!
@Seriously, though... I hate seeing people complain that a Bwog post isn’t “even relevant news.” These people really don’t understand what the site aims to be.
@wait. this is starting to become not so funny and actually kinda creepy.
@The Cloaked Mask If you think sp@csucks is a joke you will see who is the last one laughing.
@Sounds like a normal thing to say.
@shrinking violet desperately wants to join
@Anonymous But you told me not to be a shrinking violet!
@Choppa these muhfuckas need to get laid
@wtf . . .wtf?
is this real life?
@The Honourably Based FILGB The Spec has cast an illusion over you, my friend, you have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes.
@The Ban Captain thepoet I detect some insider help from Bwog with this venture.
@The Ban Captain thepoet Also you’re all banned.
@bravo Is it just me or has specsucks quality of jokes/sarcasm/gags signifcantly improved this year? I feel like last year they just tried to be as annoying and consistently boring as possible to establish their meme, and now they’re capitalizing on it.
