46 CommentsWe asked you. You nominated them. They bothered to reply. And just like that, the first round of Bwog Personals is here. All interested parties should contact Bwog via e-mail and we’ll provide $10.54 for the date. (That’s right — in light of these tough economic times, we’ve begun adjusting for inflation. Just try not to blow the extra 54 cents all at once.)

@Dhruv has crabs!
@not actually true
@Lauren is the funniest girl ever, never a dull moment. Marry me Lauren, Mahry meh.
@Dhruv makes cherubs scream with joy
@Lauren is great, but why capitalize your secret historical crush ee cummings when that was clearly not the way he wanted it
@L Dubbs... … is my Spanish lesbian soulmate. Back off, bitches.
@Dhruv is awesome :)
@person Dhruv Vasishtha is now a meme
@lauren claims that the Simpsons is a 1990s cartoon. i think not. the show while not as good, continues to be relevant. A real 90s cartoon would be like the Prostars.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProStars
other wise she seems chill, and some guy should go for it.
@I Would Ask Lauren Out If I weren’t such a goddamn pussy like the rest of my Columbia guy classmates…
@i feel like a girl wrote that
@hahha i felt the exact same way!
dhruv and lauren are both good people! ask them out, bwoggers
@economist $0.54 of inflation? WTF?! That’s 5.4% on $10 (anyway, didn’t you used to give only $5?), and we definitely haven’t had that big an increase in the price level. Where are you getting your numbers, Bwog?
@here http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi
@that didn't work put in 10 dollars for 2005, it comes out as 10.54 in 2007.
@i wish i was in town this weekend…
@DON KING IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE HAIR.
@dhruv is a great person
@flex... Someone might want to make note of the fact that Westside no longer accepts flex from 4 to 9pm. I had to charge the $50 to my credit card instead since no one was made aware of this ugh
@they should date each other
@Lauren Weiss …is so crazy hot.
Lauren, marry me.
@fan GO SEE THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES!
@Dan Deacon lolz
@if i wasnt so shy i would totally accept that date with dhruv
@... just do it!
@cardboard OBAMA LAUREN WEISS!!!
@I think Lauren looks a like a chill person and Dhruv look like a hot Indian.
@dhruv... …is straight.
@heteronormative What happened to the “girl for guy” “guy for girl” labels? We’re just supposed to assume everyone is straight?
@dhruv One time dhruv some buddies and I went to crack deli to get some delicious spicy specials. Dhruv got a coke but he accidentally the whole thing!
@dhruv sucks
@BWOG! quit moving your documents hither and thither. I’m getting lost on the interwebzzzzzzzzz
@wow disappointing. not much else to say.
@Dhruv is mah man
@this one time i was walking down the street with dhruv and his roomate. His roomate noticed a small animal stuck up in a tree. Dhruv, being the intellect he is, tactfully deducted that this small animal was infact a baby. Dhruv courageously used his great wits positioned his roomate’s gigantic mass of hair just under the small baby and serenaded the child with a lovely lullaby and he carefully cradled the descending baby into his roomates hair. goddamn hero
@more gays, please.
@Dhruv has a very small penis
@Dhruv Vasishtha My dream date is with Ethan Wong
@You don't know Dhruv you think you do, but you have no idea
@dhruv is a DOUCHE.
on the other hand, Lauren is soooooo nice!!
@let me tell you a story listen, dhruv is not a douche. this is a true story — 100% of it.
I was walking with dhruv back from o’connells last year. we were really drunk and heading back to campus. we heard this screeching from a side alley. we peeked in and saw this cat totally beating up on a dog. biting him up, clawing him…it was not an even fight.
so dhruv jumps in there, grabs the cat and throws it under the tire of a passing taxi. goddamn hero.
@Anonymous I had Dhruv Vashistha with your mom last night
@Dhruv Vashistha = Sex and by the symmetric property of equality, Sex = Dhruv Vashistha
@Dhruv V gives out the big D
@adam Podlisky dhruv is a fag
@Lauren Weiss is kind of my hero
