And left his festive husk behind in the River Lobby, only to be discovered by Bwog’s Seasonal Santa Stalker Jon Hill. We hope that Santa was not forcibly parted from his skin by some impostor.

Yesterday, a Bwog operative was eating lunch in the formerly-known-as-Tasti Lounge, when a maintenance man approached the hot dog machine. The maintenance man proceeded to open the bowels of this strange beast for all to see.

Housing & Dining has thrown up some cheap-looking plastic signage around the Empti Lounge vending machines that reads “Market Central.” How exactly a few standard vending machines qualifies as a “market” Bwog has yet to understand, but one thing we do know is that nothing says classy like fake plastic torchieres.
According to culinary anthropologist Jonathan Hill, “the vending machines are caught in some kind of arms race of gaudiness. For years, the drink/snack machines were the only game in town; then the hot dog machine rolled into the neighborhood and destabilized the balance of tacky, so the drink/snack machine bloc responded by tarting itself up with plastic frippery. Now it’s the hot dog machine’s move, and I’m betting it’s going to be BIG.”
Though the administration’s next upgrade to the glorified meat locker remains to be announced, Bwog suspects that they might just be ready to plug the machine in. Baby steps, H&D – baby steps.

Replacing the notoriously low-cal Tasti D-Lite: a hot dog vending machine.
There are three “freshly grilled” options: Nathan’s ($2), Hebrew National ($2.50) and Sabbret ($3.50). Watch this space on Wednesday as Bwog sacrifices its tastebuds and culinary dignity to bring you a review, and then watch again on Thursday for the collapse from cardiac arrest.

Bwog Rectangular Object Specialist Anish Bramhandkar made a shocking discovery earlier today: the TV in the Empti Lounge has disappeared.
The nefarious TV bandit left the cords dangling, remarkably similar to the hasty dismantlement of Empti’s former froyo titan. Perhaps this thief is also responsible for the rushed disappearance of Columbia’s endowment.
UPDATE (4:56 PM): Housing and Dining emails Bwog to say that “actually, the TV was not stolen, but we removed it because the screen was cracked. We are working to get a replacement television in there as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
