Nussbaum & Wu is now officially parent subsidized.  That’s right gentle reader–one swipe is all you need for the most cream cheese you could ask for on a toasted bagel.  HamDel will be coming by tomorrow morning at the latest, according to BB1 (the vendor).

An anonymous tipster points Bwog in the direction of the website of CC ’09 class council hopefuls Colin Drummond, Jason Patinkin, and Colin Felsman.
