Which comments were responses to which Bwog articles? We’re trusting you not to cheat: a. “Chickens are arguably as intelligent as dogs or cats, yet if someone treated his pets the way that chickens are abused on factory farms, he would be taken to court.” b. “Motherfucker got narcolepsy, falling asleep at 7:48.” c. “I […]

If you’re coming out of the 116th Street subway stop, be prepared to be serenaded and accosted by some Bible studiers singing melodiously, wielding an array of folk instruments and distributing colorful fliers with butterflies on them. Pop LitHum quiz: They quote from the one non-synoptic Gospel, which one is it?

Though Hawkmadinejad’s activities of late have been carefully recorded and analyzed, much of his pre-Furnald-lawn history remains shrouded in mystery and chaos. An ornithologically-inclined tipster, however, points us in the direction of a possible paternal identification:  “Hawkmadinejad is most likely the son of Pale Male, the first raptor bird of NYC, who nested on the […]

On Sundays, most spots in Butler are taken—some by busy students, others by a pile of cough syrup bottles and a piece of toilet paper with “IF U TOUCH MY STUFF I KILL U!” scrawled on it in red ink. This is the first in what will hopefully be a recurring Saturday series offering possible […]

A movie-renting tipster sends this gem our way: “Lee Bollinger renting at Kim’s. Wearing a puffy green North Face, light-wash jeans, and a winning coif. Rental: I Know Who Killed Me…..just kidding, if only it were that juicy. In the Valley of Elah. Snooze.” So serious.

This week on Cooking, Bwog’s chef has got her gaze on the Farmer’s market that happens outside of Lerner on Thursdays and Sundays. Nothing like tasty winter produce on a cold day like today. Some of the recipes are from Farmers’ market pamphlets from the NYS Dept. of Health; others are from Cooking’s own repertoire. […]

Inexplicably, the Lions appear to be involved in a joint venture with Tic Tac at tonight’s game (they don’t say the sport in the hilarious press release, but Bwog will suppose it’s basketball). Coming soon: corporate naming rights for Baker Field? “Swish Undergraduate Athletics Center” has a nice ring to it. Long story made short: […]

Bwog resident nerd Zach van Schouwen fakes his way through the game theory of Google Chat. When GChat rolled out its “Go Invisible” feature last week (which has been in other instant messenger clients for awhile), the whole landscape of online chat shifted a little. While invisibility on AIM is one thing, most GMail users […]

Bwog editor Pierce Stanley weighs in from the Egyptian Ambassador’s visit to the Law School. While the Egyptian nation-state has been a sleeping giant in the game of international relations as of late, choosing to remain remarkably low-key in a region known for its instability, the Egyptian ambassador to the United Nations, Maged Abdelfattah Abdelaziz, […]

If not, rumor has it you can get a free McSkillet Burrito. Bwog doesn’t know what’s in it, but just try to convince yourself that picture isn’t… appetizing? Update: Tipster Shane Ferro […]

This headline: “Go Ape For The New Version of the Old Mighty Beast” ESC’s claim that since America elected George Bush, democracy is bad. A good urban exploration column ruined by the claim that there are “tar pits” in Queens. And by its eighth paragraph. Oprah branching out into reality TV. A first-year’s need to […]

Bwog’s resident ornithologist, Courtney Douds, spends inordinate amounts of her free time watching our unofficial campus mascot. Here’s what he’s been up to since he tore a pigeon to shreds during the greatest reading week entertainment since you got so sleepy you started seeing double. You may have seen the large bird of prey around […]
