Bwoglines takes the form of an acrostic, dedicated to the avian marshmallows that will stick to the intestinal walls of many today:  Program for the 2013 Egg Roll. Lots of Eggtivities that will be broadcast live. (Whitehouse.gov) Everything and anything to do in New York this spring. (Gothamist) Epic “fail” and other verbs as nouns. (Nytimes) […]

Tipsters report that the WTF Columbia site (not to be confused with our WTF Columbia series) is not working. The site,

Bwog has obtained a memo sent from M. Dianne Murphy, the director of Athletics, to the head coaches of Columbia’s sports teams.

It’s also a record low admissions […]

Our famous Bwog super-sleuthers came across this remarkably disgusting remnant of a Spring Break that refused to be forgotten. Bwog feels your pain. “I’ve been shitting my brains out. They obviously used bad ice in my drink only.”

Intrepid street artist, Jay Shells, has completed his latest project, “Rap Quotes.” He traveled around the city putting up fake street signs at specific locations mentioned in rap songs. What’s even better is that he finally teaches us how to pronounce Schermerhorn (1:15). (Animal New York) Plans to revitalize Harlem’s once vibrant jazz scene are well […]

A bit after hearing Macklemore would not be performing at Bacchanal, we started hearing rumblings that–in fact–Macklemore would be coming to Columbia.  Hating feeling fooled, Bwog reached out directly to Macklemore’s manager, who confirmed that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will be performing at Bacchanal. The announcement from Bacchanal was going to come out on midnight, April 1st, […]
