Suspended production of the Spectator during midterm week has effaced Bwog’s sense of purpose. We’ve found an unworthy substitute in ripping off NY Times headlines. Enjoy! New Gatehouse Theatre for the Harlem Stage opens in former water pump thing at 135th Street and Convent (fairly close to us). There’s still rushing water inside, just one of […]

Go bob for apples and get free cider outside Ferris Booth in Lerner! You have until 2 pm! Bwog asked the bobbers: So, how do you guys feel about germs? “Well, an apple a day keeps the Doctor away, so if you get the apple, you don’t have to worry about germs!” Bwog knows who’d […]

In which Julia Butareva engages with Postcrypt’s “Exhibition” exhibition. We know we leave our traces in cyberspace. They can be Googled in an instant, and more importantly Facebooked. It takes vigilance and strict use of privacy controls to keep our interests in “kayaking” and other outdoor sports hidden from public safety officials and potential employers. […]

Yes, we know that October 4th was almost two weeks ago and most of you are sick of it, but there’s still a bit of news trickling in that we thought we’d share.  Item # 1: We reported earlier that several protesters had been sent letters enumerating the charges against them, and they met with […]

Vigilantism strikes yet again at Columbia, this time on Schapiro 7. From a note pushpinned to the kitchen wall of that fateful floor, penned in forest green marker: “If you leave your dirty dishes in the sink for two (2) days, they will disappear for two (2) weeks.  Thank you for your (non) cooperation, you […]

Now that the events of 10-4 have practically given them their storyline (hell, they don’t even have to build a set), all this year’s V-Show creative team has to do is put together the minutiae. Those now charged with this Herculean task were notified a few weeks ago, but Bwog has just obtained the formerly secret list for […]

As if trying to singlehandedly bring prosperity to Africa, or at least co-ordinate his wardrobe of fuschia, canary yellow, and shiny neon green blazers wasn’t enough, Bwog has learned that Columbia’s own (and only) Catalan economist, Xavier Sala-i-Martin, has been serving as president of FC Barcelona, which won the 2006 UEFA Champions League cup back in […]

Spectator Takes on Russia, World Oohs and Aahs McDonald’s Opening Deserves Headline Fuck Naked Parties. Fuck ME!  Flier-Posterer Responsible for Posting Fliers Latino Studies Deep-Sixed for Less Intimidating Hispanic Studies

Bwog was particularly delighted by today’s re-run of “This American Life” on NPR. A feature on personal recordings, it showcases the famous “Little Mermaid”  ROLM message which swept Columbia in the early 1990s (documented in the Blue and White’s own “The Decline and Fall of ROLM”)  – a message which featured a mother suggesting her […]

Saturday night shenanigans witnessed by Brandie Moreno: Jock:  I want to see you throw up tonight!  Have you ever thrown up from drinking? Drunk girl: *giggles drunkenly* Jock: You’re so hot. And from an anonymous Bwog staffer: Girl talking to boy about peanut butter: Boy: I’ve never had chunky. What are the chunks of? Girl: […]

Those trying to study in Lerner last night didn’t have a chance, as the beats of DJ prophecy wafted up from a candlelit Roone Arledge, where over 400 sari-clad students celebrated Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights. Diwali, a holiday celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains, celebrates the victory of good over evil, which–along with […]

Bwog football correspondent CML reports on the Lions’ dismal loss to Penn, of all places. This last Saturday, among the verdant foliage, obtrusive infrastructure, and thoughtless mélange of architectural styles that defines University City, Philadelphia, PA, an epic gridiron confrontation took place.  Coming off a 24-0 blowout of the enigmatic yet pitiable Iona, Columbia looked […]
