At approximately 7:05 PM, just five minutes after the scheduled start of Barnard’s annual free sub giveaway, the sandwich was completely gone.
What lay in its wake were scattered martini glasses filled with beaded necklaces and troupes of inordinately disappointed sub-seekers. “I just got here and all the sandwich is gone!” bemoaned one, to no one in particular.
But oh, what a sandwich it must have been. The theme for this year’s event was “Sub and the City.” (Tagline, because of course, “It’s Bigger Then [sic] Big.”)
To be fair, it was quite large! So large, in fact, that Barnard provided a map of all the sandwich’s 709 ft. Favorites like ham and cheese and cheese and tomoato were feet 0 – 125, while Kosher tuna and Halal turkey were resigned to feet 500 – 709.
According to a friend of Bwog who had managed to procure a coveted egg salad segment, the theme music for Sex and the City had been playing on repeat since she had arrived. The song also played for the entire time Bwog was present.

@Anon. Because Columbia posters never have typos….
@Uh-oh Looks like someone missed the “Caps Lock” lecture in Stenography BC1101.
@BarnardAlum I only got a piece of the sub once and it was rather bland. You know, I used to get really pissed off at all the Barnard hate on here, but it’s toned down lately, and now I kind of miss it. It reminded me of the good old days at school when my guy friends used to ask me about my home ec requirement. After all, how can an age old tradition of Columbia students being snobby, cynical, and not always that fun to hang out with, come to an end?
PS. I posted this with the intention of enraging a few, come on just let it all out!
@GET A LIFE. I’M SO TIRED OF ALL OF YOU AND YOUR INCESSANT RIDICULING OF BARNARD TRADITION. GET OVER YOURSELVES. WHY DO YOU INSIST IN TAKING SOMETHING THAT IS SIMPLE AND FUN AND MAKING IT INTO SOME GOD AWFUL, LIST OF SEXUAL INNUENDOS AND SNIDE REMARKS? GUESS WHAT? IT’S LAME. MORE PEOPLE CAME OUT TO EAT THE SANDWICH THEN READ THIS STUPID WEBSITE, AND FOR THE TIME IT TAKES YOU TO COME UP WITH YOUR LITTLE “CUTE” REMARKS, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ENJOYING SOME FREE FOOD, NICE PEOPLE, AND FUN TIMES AS WELL. JUST CUT THE SHIT, IT’S ENOUGH ALREADY. NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
@get a life edited. That was supposed to be “came out to eat the sandwich THAN read this stupid website.” Oh my, look at that! I made a mistake! Do you think it’s a reflection of my education? Or perhaps… a TYPO!
@random Relax! It must be that time of the month.
@zing! hehe for the win!
@hahaha If they’d spelled it correctly: “bigger than big”–barnard girls would know
@hehe So did the extra long sub reach all the way into the Vagilos?
@nope, just a random barnard tradition.
@confused wait so what’s the sub giveway in celebration of? or is it just bread and circus whatnot? not that free food is a bad thing…
@word nazi wow…”then”? seriously?
@oh please, your hostilities come from the fact that columbia would never do something like big sub for its students. you should feel glad we let you share.
@well, for the record, we indulge in columbia’s free food offerings too….maybe we should feel glad they let US share
@cmon its not cc’ers fault that they can’t appreciate something that’s big, long and juicy as much as Barnard coeds
@Great Religious minorities get back of the line.
@Though speaking of which, was there a border dispute the two?
@please don’t feed those barnyard cows any more food…
@no no the line of hungry barn yard girls was supposed to equal the circumference of the earth
@confused wasnt this supposed to equal the circumference of the earth? since when does 709 ft = 26,000 miles?
@... “It’s bigger then big” really Barnard?
