@Yay! Chrono Trigger! Win.
@sigh worst personals ever…
@why are you such a racist?
@wow... morgan’s a girl?!
@WHY is octopus’s garden her theme song?? what does she have eight of?! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS
@octopussy it’s her song cuz she has an octopus tattoo, and shes as scary as she looks
@but in a good way
@david zhou ‘s hair is fucking ridiculous
@david zhou is amazing. simply. aaamazing.
@aww morgan “Let’s go on an adventure!” wins my heart =)
@guardian of justice david zhou makes me wet.
@anonymous That girl = scary looking. Sorry.
@ellen page morgan looks like kimya dawson. i’d do it with the soundtrack on
@the Glory Days Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite games ever.
@mm... Don’t have the Bawls to contact David Zhou.
@david zhou well he’s no jeffrey tai but at least he’s not an asshole (inside joke in case david actually reads these)
@Curious Do the people who post personals actually go on a real date with someone who replied? If so, Bwog should post on how the date goes.
@Yes A friend of mine was contacted by someone she knew vaguely after posting a personal and they went on a couple of dates after.
Highly doubt people would be cool having Bwog cover their dates, as amusing as that would be.
@For Serious? What the hell is Morgan doing single? Only on Columbia’s utterly fucked up/non-existant dating scene could someone as beautiful, charming, and talented as her end up without a man.
Also, Cheap Amusements is, indeed, one of the worst books ever, though I’ve gotta say I’m disappointed that Power Broker or Nature’s Metropolis didn’t make “best book.”
@um. i;ll give you beautiful, *maybe* (not her best picture)…but talented? Did you see her at Orgo Night? Not good….
@psh you obviously haven’t heard her drum, douche
@well you obviously know her, so why are you pretending that you don’t know she’s single?
@let's just say I’m doing David Zhou right now. No wait, that’s not David at all, that’s my homework
@let's just say david zhou is not a good drunk.
@alexw Wow, David Zhou – Another Blue Scholars fan!
@also urbanstudies Yes, Cheap Amusements was terrible. And that rub-n-tug re-edit is great.. it also appears at the very end of the Glimmer’s DJ Kicks album.
@i think it is very fitting that there is a question mark after comparative ethnic studies. i think they put a question mark on your diploma if that is your major
@wow you’re an asshole
@the donald it’s spelled coif, short for coiffure
quaff means to drink heartily, ie “he quaffed his beer”
unless of course you’d like to drink his hair, in which case spelling is the least of your problems
@WOOOO David Zhouuuu! Werewolf bar mitzvah, spooky, scary! Boys becoming men! Men becoming wolves!
Ladies, you know you want to quaff that hair.
