@hmmmmm i feel like, by posting this, bwog is making the scream their own, which they shouldn’t be. the way the post is written it looks like it was bwog’s idea or something
@Lydia In case anyone’s still reading–we did not at all intend to appropriate the Scream as our own idea, but since we hadn’t heard of one in the works for last night, decided to give the tradition a little publicity. Everyone can use a reminder once in a while.
@When I was My freshman yr, I had no idea about the Scream. So at 12AM, i was procrastinating when i hear THUNDEROUS screams outside my window I was scared shitless thinking it was a mass-murder or another terrorist attack I was fucking sweating. Then I stuck my head outside the window and realized that it was just good old Columbia.
@Definitely! There’ll be some screaming in Butler. Usually there is. I’m not sure about Lerner but it’s a possibility. If not, you should go outside and stand at the Sundial. I always think of the Inferno and that that must be what the rings of hell are like.
@what happens what happens if you’re in a public space like butler or lerner at midnight? do you get to scream? last year i was in my room both times so i have no idea, but i have a feeling i’m going to be in lerner alllll fucking night.
@Here is a cool quote from Poli-Sci professor Joe Parent, taken from lecture three weeks ago:
“… world population took off as a result of the Industrial Revolution, but people people began to have less babies as they became wealthier… (laughs).. which brings me to an important point: the more education you have, the less you get laid. If you guys like sex, you’re in the wrong place.”
@arrrrgghhhh! you are probably one of those people who get hard whenever parent makes a joke, says “motherfucker”, or answers your elaborate fucking questions with a single “ok”. you make me angry.
@fix you up seems like we can fix your problem pretty easily, gangsta. just a few bucks for a pack of cigarettes. and since, you know, women’s blowjobs are also commodities that you pay for, i’m sure you can hit the streets and get one for $50 (if you’re hot, maybe only $25). oh yeah, and i hope you slip on your ass while you’re looking for both of the above.
@mortimer On Columbia’s wikipedia page, it lists “Primal Scream” as a tradition. It then goes on to say that this “tradition” is also performed at approximately THIRTY-THOUSAND other schools. How can we claim something so ubiquitous as a tradition? We might as well claim that it’s a Columbia tradition to have Mathematics classes.
@NYC Thinking about it, Primal Scream is more interesting here at CU than at other schools. Because campus is so dense, dorms on the quad can hear one another very well. Added to this is that we’re just buildings amidst thousands of other NYC buildings – in effect, we have an audience.
This cannot be said for your middle-of-nowhere schools like Vassar where their average audience is a cow.
@Poor cow Can you imagine the state of that cow though? I’m sure it feels the effect of a thousand people screaming much more profoundly than any New Yorker possibly could.
@um NO Point: Tradition has nothing to do with exclusivity!
Example: Just because MILLIONS of other families put a Christmas tree in their homes doesn’t make one’s annual Christmas tree trimming any less of a tradition to their families.
@being stressed.... would imply that I’ve actually been studying. i have more exams than i can count on a single hand, and I have yet to start studying. Columbia is devouring my soul once again.

@Can't I jack off in peace?
@wait the sound of screaming masses doesn’t help you in that regard?
@woodbridge aww, i didn’t know the primal scream made it so far west. that was helpful! but it’s 12:03 now; shut up!
@aaa!! i have never felt such solidarity!!!
@it felt good knowing i wasn’t the only one ABSOLUTELY DYING
@woohoo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@damn i missed midnight by one minute, damn.
@virtual scream EEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
@i remember during last year’s scream I was listening to a friend talk about how she hurt herself. THAT was fucking eerie.
@fact yea dude, tons of guys give blowjobs in the city so they can get money for smack. helllzzz yea!
@Craig Yo. Just go to craigslist. You will be sure to find your blowjob partner there!!! Just don’t be picky. They are mostly men!! Good luck!!!
@stop primal screams primal screams at midnight contribute to the scourge of gentrifcation due to the verbal proliferation of uppity white artistes
@... shutup
@haha don’t worry bout me espn boy — if you are writing jokes parent says in your notes, you obviously got alot of bullshit to sort through.
i toast to your failure with a vodka red bull.
@... i dont remember bwog last year announcing the scream. you just know
@and remember... it’s ONE scream. If you missed it, it is NOT appropriate to scream at 12:30.
The scream shall last no longer than 60 seconds.
@114th is an eerie place to be during the scream.

@not at all. I sit in the back. I check ESPN scores mostly.
But, I did find the quote earlier when scanning through my notes. And I liked it and felt like sharing it.
You sound like you have some confidence issues. Why don’t you lay off the Red Bulls and just give up? I’m going to smoke you on the Final.
And you know it.
@joe parent is the man
@fix you up seems like we can fix your problem pretty easily, gangsta. just a few bucks for a pack of cigarettes. and since, you know, women’s blowjobs are also commodities that you pay for, i’m sure you can hit the streets and get one for $50 (if you’re hot, maybe only $25). oh yeah, and i hope you slip on your ass while you’re looking for both of the above.
@That was awfully hostile for a post entirely about cigarettes and blowjobs.

@ummm …no one said it’s “our” tradition, it’s just a tradition we practice.

@Gangsta Greg I know! Man, FUCK studying. Aight, I better get back to that shit. I’m so burnt out.
I need a cigarette and a blowjob.
@being stressed.... would imply that I’ve actually been studying. i have more exams than i can count on a single hand, and I have yet to start studying. Columbia is devouring my soul once again.
@but will there be a pillow fight?
or is that only in spring?
@thats Only in the spring. Too cold.
