Last night on Twitter, fueled mostly by being lonely in Butler, Bwog decided to try a contest:
Tweet us your cleverest Columbia-related government shutdown joke and maybe we'll give the writer of the best one a prize
— Bwog (@bwog) October 1, 2013
Since then we’ve decided that, yes, we will give a prize to the funniest author. Vote for your favorite at the end of the post. We’ll leave the poll open for 24 hours and the winner by 9:30 tomorrow night will win a Milano sandwich.
Read on for the submissions and vote for your favorite:
@ChayenneMia: Studying for my psych exam and all the words in my textbook have just become gibberish. Coincidence? #governmentshutdown @bwog

@Late Submission? If this government shutdown goes for more than a week, my father, and countless other parents helping their kids pay for college, will not be able to make their monthly tuition payments and still pay for gas and food! #CUGovtShutdown
@Anonymous Can Peter Sterne stop fucking twitter whoring and get on with his life outside CU pls?

@Yep 2014 FTW
@Anonymous We need to shut-down all the grant-grubbing obama-making professulas!!!
Those grants rape the taxpayers with sedition!

@Pumpkin Spice Everything This is the best Columbia can come up with?
