Worst Book You’ve Read for Class: The Poetry of Mihai Eminescu,
which I had to read for my Romanian class.

episodes of Dawson’s Creek on DVD, which I have for some reason. It’s
a very guilty pleasure.

@ladies, jump on this. ruan is the ultimate cocksman — this is like a presidents’ day sale on nookie.
@Dear Rachel You are adorable.
@im sorry but i believe its girl for guy holmes
also kitten war?
never gonna get work done
@At first I was gonna say that #29’s comment was really mean, and totally uncalled for, but then #40 comes out of nowhere and plays into the Barnard stereotype perfectly? Super awk.
@but don’t judge the girl based on what someone else says
@that's so awkward
@Rachel's friend As a person who thought it would be fun to play bwog personals and helped get Rachel to do this, all of you who heart her should contact bwog so I can live vicariously through her adventurous blind dates with you all.
Also, I moved out of college housing this semester, so Rachel now lives in a single…
@alexw These Ten US Dollars could purchase 2 seats to UP LATE WITH JEFF JULIAN and enough money left over for a Naked Juice….with two straws.
@hopelessly in love Hey Rachel— i can’t wait to share my hopeless love of knitting with you and grow in my love for you.
@hey mag. fields guy! if rachel doesn’t take you up on that and you end up with an extra i will definitely buy that ticket off of you
@an agreement I concur.
@a suggestion Bwog should write up a follow up story about how the 10 dollar dates went.
@read “All interested parties should contact Bwog via email “
@hmmm i mean the kid takes romanian…and he’s asian…that’s kinda hot.
how do i contact?
@meh props to the fellow coonass! although ziegler isn’t a cajun name, it’s close enough for me!
@The Professor Johnny can schmooze me any day of the week…
@Well at least one Barnard girl knows her place and is learning to knit. Now all we need is some home economics classes (oh wait…that’s basically the level of intellectual rigor they require in their econ dept) and perhaps a blow job and lamaze class and we’ve got ourselves one hell of a women’s college. Maybe they’ll even opt to be ranked again instead of taking their broken G.I. Joe home and not playing with the other kids anymore.
@Anonymous that post is why youre not getting any pussy, along with having a really small penis of course
@i like rachel’s haircut. ill be looking around for you. that sounds creepy.
@aHA! so THAT’s that guy i always see walking around who i try to make eye contact with, but seems like he’s always deep in thought about something.
@hah umm kittenwar is much better
@not related just wanted to thank someone for showing me puppywar
time to waste a good hour
@meh jimmy eats world and champagne supernova? come ON. I would pick the girl over him and I’m not even a lesbian.
@goooooooooo Canada!
@he can paddle his boat on my creek anytime
@i would choose johnny over sam any time.
@johnny is a hottie with a body.
@why not girl for girl?? I’d like to see some of that!
@2.0 so, um, rachel, wanna go see the magnetic fields with me on thurs?
@that girl is really pretty
@mo'hamdel Hmmm, try not to be such an asshole, you know? Not everyone can be as exciting and suave as Bwog commenters.
@Johnny is a prince among the other mcbain 8 residents
@duhhh already dating, but who doesn’t love an astronomer? he’s cute
@Johnny can sweep me away to a parallel universe any time.
@i would totally contact bwog about the girl, but i’d feel awkward and lame for doing so. so! i won’t.
@hmmmm awkward and lame guy for boring and awkward girl… could be a match made in heaven, no?
@people who put up personals expect that you’ll contact them DUH
@oh man how uninteresting was that girl? not to be mean, but if you’re going to do this, put a little effort in.
@quit your hating I thought she was cute and has good taste in music. You are probably fat.
@logic guy for girl, girl for guy. Bwog, why not just set them up together?
@well they dont seem compatible
@what kind of ads do single cats place in the newspaper?
Purrrr-sonals!
@here's a tip http://gawker.com/358138/columbia-j+schools-secret-memos-are-incredibly-long
@hey now was the 10 bucks from bwog short lived?
@Juli You’re right! It is $10 and is going to stay $10.
@WOW winners from 2010 for sure
