Bwog was stumbling around in the nether-regions of Craig’s List, a confusing place brimming with possibilities of love, sex, and felony. We’ve filtered out the best (and worst) of Columbia-related posts.
The way you tear into a argument– you pounce on the main points, you toy with the subtleties– makes me weak. When you take off on one of your brilliant analyses of 19th c. literature, I absolutely swoon. I love the animation of your face, the delicacy of your hands, the precision of your language, the suddenness of your laughter.
Yes, I admit it: I have tuned out seminar discussions to wonder what kind of underwear you might have on. And yes, I have allowed myself a couple ridiculous fantasies in which, through some truly transparent plot device (costume party, your late-night lamp-lit office), I have found an opportunity to kiss you.
But this is reality. So, I shall quietly show up to class tomorrow, make a small remark about James, and be on my way.
Respectfully yours,
The Smitten Graduate Student
More PG-13 Columbia-centric findings after the jump!
Blonde Columbia General Studies Student on the Downtown 1
Hello.
You were the adorable girl with the blue general studies messenger bag. I was the tall guy in the blue striped shirt who kept making eye contact with you. We both got off at Columbus circle. You had a fantastic half-smile on your face and you kept looking down at your feet. I would have said something if I wasn’t immersed in conversation with my friends. Well, shucks, you seemed swell.
The situation is this… I’m involved in a serious long distance relationship that gives me emotional fulfillment but leaves me sexually deprived. So I’m looking to have a good time with someone that is cool and drama free. I am an intelligent, and attractive european guy who is open and creative. However, I’ve never done this before. Well, if you want to share time with me, let me know …
Maybe You Can Tell From This Mix I Made…
(Incredibly detailed and lengthy playlist—with descriptions!—that might be of interest to some, but is too long to post.)
Actor to Play Police Officer (and has uniform already)
I am shooting a Columbia graduate film on Sunday, 1/20 and need an actor to play a police officer. The role is short, but very funny and important to the film. Please respond ONLY if you are both free on Sunday and HAVE A POLICE OFFICER’S UNIFORM which you can wear. This is vital. Thanks for your time.
Hair/Make-Up for Short Film (Columbia MFA)
Hair/Make-Up pro needed for fun short student film (Columbia University MFA Film program).
The film is called “RESOLVE” – about a pregnant woman and her cranky neighbor on New Year’s Eve.
Shooting 2 evenings: Sat Jan 19th & Sun Jan 20th
Make-up needed for only two cast members (1 male and 1 female) – both need to look tired, with realistic under-eye circles. May also need to ADD FACIAL HAIR to the guy, for a scruffy look.
Great friendly crew, no pay but meals, transportation and a copy of the film will be provided.
Please be in touch to join this project!
Thanks!

@gay sex enough said
@Maybe Maybe they’re talking about Henry James and Professor Posnock. If so, I’d have to guess that his undies are probably tweed.
@... I’d bet money that it’s Professor Dames, not Posnock.
@agreed It’s gotta be Dames. He has exceedingly delicate hands.
@incidentally... the first message was posted in the ‘women seeking women’ category of craigslist.
@uh.. no it’s not.
“smitten” =/= “columbia”
i’m with #5 though. still pretty funny.
@!!! the post is signed by “columbia grad student” so unless he’s decided to be a visiting student at Fordham, i’d say it’s a safe inference.
also, b@b is a much sadder world than even the most desperate craigslist posters.
@!!!! Fordham is in the Bronx, not Manhattan, so I think it’s even safer!
@actually columbia? where does it say that professor amazing is a columbia prof? maybe i just can’t see it, but all i see is that professor amazing is somewhere in manhattan.
not that it reduces the hilarity.
@invisible_hand probably henry james, as joyce wrote in the 20th cent, and people usually refer to famous figures using their last names.
anything else you’d like pedantically explained?
@Anonymous Why does that make you sad? You should feel good about yourself, knowing that at least you have’t been reduced to seeking romance via Craiglist! Now THAT’S lonely.
… unless you posted one of those first three messages. …Did you? I’m sorry. :o(
@James... James Joyce? If so, shame on you for thinking of that prof’s underwear!
@sad I am so so lonely :( :( :(
