Two combatants reflect on their conquests:
Girl 1: ”OUR PILLOWS ARE STAINED WITH THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO CHALLENGED US”
Girl 2: ”But like, actually though….I’m not sleeping on this thing tonight.
In perhaps the most confusing 30 minutes of campus tradition in history, both the pillow fight and Primal Scream overlapped. Though purists waited until 11:59 pm to start, zealous first years joined the fray as early as 11:30 pm. Even a few of the dedicated bodies in the reference room rose from their seats to peek down at the action—one kid went outside between the windows. Wails reminiscent of the 2010 World Cup sounded ominously across campus as kids blew on their vuvuzelas.
The Reference Room failed to get the joke.
So did 209. A sole screamer took a brave stand against the “studying” masses. Carefully choosing his moment, he waited until definitive sounds were heard from neighboring rooms, just to be sure. After he let out the gruesome howl, the girl across from said screamer promptly gathered her belongings and left. He screamed again. Another gal across the room let out a weak “ah.” He screamed once again, even louder. Nothing. People gossiped quietly. Some bro nearby interjected a terse but forceful, “fuck!” Others in the room exclaimed, “that’s not a scream,” but did not scream themselves. He screamed again, even louder and more passionately. Bwog’s vocal correspondent reports that this is the second time this has happened to him. We cannot rely on these lone rangers to maintain our cherished traditions. Loosen up fools!
Update (12:45): A ghost just walked through 209, telling people he died during finals. Wtf.
