Of 2008’s PBKers, five did not have visible Facebook accounts, and eleven had their privacy settings activated so that Bwog could not see their profiles. But of those who did have Facebooks, see if you can match the PBKer to their favorite Facebook quote. No cheating—it’s PBK.
A. “I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York’s skyline”
B. “4 mg is still quite a large scale anyway” – boss
C. “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a jolly roll-around.”
D. “O, che sciagura d’essere senza coglioni!” -Voltaire, “Candide”
E. “From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.” Winston Churchill

3. Julia Kalow
4. Jason Resnikoff
5. Sarah Wansley
The winner of this game gets a job at McKinsey.
Of the PBKers who were listed in the Columbia directory (and two were mysteriously absent), the majors breakdown is as follows:
Economics: 5.5 (one is a double-major in Environmental Studies and Econ)
English: 2
Physics: 2
Chemistry: 2
Architecture: 1
History: 1
Classics: 1
Comparative Literature: 1
Italian Literature: 1
Biological Sciences: 1
Mathematics: 1
Environmental Studies: 0.5
A: 5; B: 1; C: 2, D: 3; E: 4

@joint majors Also I think another of the econs is a double major w/math.
@joint majors Of the econs, 1 is econ-math, 1 is econ-polisci, and 1 is econ philosophy. (Could be other joint majors – those are the ones I know of.)
@where is the full list?
@who the fuck cares? this is bizarre. bwog has jumped the shark. again.
@I plowed one of the 18 PBKers for a while. I guess it didn’t rub off enough. Either that, or unlike her, I had a challenging major.
@Ha! I’v never heard that plow metaphor before, but I like it, because while a furrow is necessary for implantation, it does not imply that the seeds have, in fact, been sown.
@Jon The plowing metaphor has a long history.
From Antony and Cleopatra:
“She made great Caesar lay his sword to bed; / He plowed her, and she cropped.”
@hmm I wonder if Cleopatra was really that hot.
@if she hadn’t been that hot, Caesar would have plowed her with the sword instead. Also, I’m honored that my plowing has inspired such cultured conversation as to cite Shakespeare. It may also explain why she always orgasmed in iambic pentameter.
@Yes! And Caesar beat his sword into a plowshare…
@erm bwog, this is creepy. if i were a PBKer i’d be more than a bit weirded out. seriously.
@agreed bwog, let people do their own stalking on facebook. The facebook quote stuff is neither gossip, news, nor research on your part. Also, #7, are you trying to impress someone?

@Nice job Bwog. FYI, the Columbia directory misses most double or joint majors. A better place to look would be lionlink.
@??? is that site still around?
@According to econ majors, what’s the tallest mountain in North America?
Mt. McKinsey!
@EAL I love the Churchill quote. WC is the man.
