22 CommentsGerry Visco sent out an epic email to the Classics Department regarding their Halloween lunch! Check out the excerpt below.
We’ll also celebrate Halloween and its precursor, Samhain, the Celtic festival of the dead. Whoever is able to throw together the best costume will win a prize of a gift certificate from Book Culture. Please wear a COSTUME of some sort if possible. Or just dress weird. Full costumes encouraged but for those of the faint of heart, masks will be provided upon request.
On site rituals and sacrifices will be strictly forbidden nor will we permit any divination practices involving the entrails of sheep nor poultry.
However, we WILL provide delicious victuals and liquids to all attendees.
Please plan your costumes now and we’ll see you next THURSDAY!

@Gerry Visco There’s still some lunch. Come over now in costume. The Department of Classics is the best department with fabulous classes, faculty, and staff. Those of you who are scared of me or anyone else here belongs in the suburbs with the Stepford Wives. Read some Catullus and take some Latin!
@Harmony Hunter Can I come dressed as a troll?
@No... …because you have to come in COSTUME.
@Anonymous i would sacrifice my body over and over again for some of the Classics Department faculty…
…must find a way into this Halloween Lunch…
@lol I hear Gareth Williams works out in Dodge!

@This is your best one yet. Now you really sound like you’ve had a lobotomy. Almost qualified to run for Senate in Nevada.
@Other than our IP Address Bwog knows nothing about us right? So I could just write whatever? penis.scrodal_sack.jack_bauer
@Speaking of departments, why does... Barnard’s student life office even exist? They just spent the whole day dressed up and going round administrative offices handing out candy. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but budgets are being cut for important student programs while there’s a full time, and totally unhelpful, theater coordinator for a single black box, and a dude who runs some leadership program for first years when the Athena center presumably exists for almost exactly the same purpose…investigate, bwog?
@CC'XIV Classics departments are the best departments EVERYWHERE.
@seas '12 1. shut up freshman.
2. have fun finding a job
@ZEUS 1) SHUT UP MORTAL.
2) HAVE FUN FINDING OUT YOUR DAD’S THE CRETAN BULL.
BTW FRESHMAN- CLASSICS DEPARTMENTS ARE THE BEST anywhere. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE HUMAN DOES NOT MEAN YOUR GRAMMAR CANNOT BE GODLY.
@BC '10, Classics, in defense of my major.. I was a Classics major and I am working on Wall St. A friend at Brown who was Classics is working in consulting.
Besides for going into academia, an education in Classics is a great foundation for many jobs…
@Anonymous Well Zeus will be unhappy
@At least there isn’t any prohibition of turning into a swan and banging people, so he still has that, I guess.
@Anonymous Gerry Visco is crazy. The very sight of her during my first week at Columbia deterred me from the Classics department forever.
@Anonymous A quick google search of her name reveals these images (yes, that is her):

@Gerry Visco Oh really? Let’s have lunch and see who’s crazier, you or me. If you’re at Columbia and New York City and you’re scared off so easily, apparently you should have gone to a small community college. Good luck!
@Anonymous Don’t talk that way about Gerry Visco! Have you ever even talked to her?
She welcomed me into the department and made me feel at home straight away. Once I was having problems with registration and Gerry advised me (when she didn’t have to), patiently listened to me, and assisted me in getting the problem solved. The other administrators are bureaucratic and act like they’re out to get students, wheras Gerry is willing to go out of her way to help us. I say Viva la Visco.
@Jesus Christ monkey balls MILF
@Jesus Christ monkey balls Pilf????!?!?
@Hawkmadinejad Well, shit.
