Overheard in JJ’s, 2 AM Friday morning, as two students were leaving: Girl:  So are we going back to yours tonight? Guy:  Well my parents are coming in on Saturday Girl:  But tomorrow is Friday Guy:  Yeah…yeah it is Bon Weekend!

John Heffernan (see comment #12), G’76 checks in from the real world with a question for Bwog and the Columbia masses: Has anyone missed the pretty blue flag on top of Barnard? Where could she have gone? It so nice to have her around. Anyone care to speculate?

Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, and Vaclav Havel: Which one of these things is not like the other? New football coach offers idealistic promises that won’t pan out; will be followed by a return to normalcy Professors must find a new forum for controversial, condescendingly-expressed opinions For those of you who aren’t fine with a […]

Bwog tipster Christopher Morris-Lent sent in the first–but certainly not the last–gem of the year from Sunil Gulati’s Principles class: Gulati, speaking about inferior goods to a [presumably female] student:  But would it hurt you to have a hot dog?  If I gave you a hot dog right now, wouldn’t it bring you some pleasure? […]

Bwog doesn’t have the cash to “pimp your room,” and we certainly don’t want to raid it and then date you. So we bring you the semi-weekly Thursday feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping… continuing with Bwog’s new afroed acquaintance… Ed Trefts, C’08, has few items in his tight Shapiro single. The room is an excercise […]

Welcome back to our semi-weekly feature, in which Bwog contributor Mark Krotov takes you to the lesser known gems on our fair campus, forever ruining them for those who didn’t need the hint.  In last year’s debate over Flash access to Columbia dorms for Barnard students, opponents somewhat arrogantly hypothesized that a free-flowing student body […]

“Suck” count: 5x, “Sex” count: 4x, “Rut” count: 28x A rip-off of UPenn’s 34th Street magazine’s “Shout-outs” feature For the record: Yes, I was in Magnolia. Let me move on! If an administrator came to sit with Bwog at brunch, we’d scoff, and carry our tray elsewhere Giving Zoolander more credit than he deserves

Fully nine parties–count ’em, nine–have entered the cosmically inconsequential but strangely fascinating race for Columbia College’s 2010 class council. That’s down from ten last year, but certainly more competition than the class will see in its next three elections. They are: Party of Five, TOGA, Blue Barracudas, Nonstop, The, Stella, Columbia Undergraduates, Supporting Progress, Alma […]

In IAB, after Foner’s Civil War Class “You’re taking badmitton as a gym class?  That is SO the best way to wake up in the morning.  Are you like a champion yet?” “Well…I’m the best white person in the class” [Insert witty pun about the Civil War and badminton here].  ——————————— Overheard on 116th near […]

Columbia named after Colon, Barnard named after Man, Spec Runs Article About Facebook, Article Not About Facebook, Bwog Muses: Is there a chance that women are actually smarter? And  Environmentalist Faces Challenges

Really. Last time Bwog posted gossip, a tipster’s professor singled him out in class; he was very flustered.  A stressed-out student declared, “This year I will either die or become a Campus Character.” Professor Eric Foner, commenting on how the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s U.S. citizenship test accepts two answers to the question of what […]

By now you’ve been to all of your classes, but your classmates and your TAs just don’t do it for you. Internet dating will solve your woes! If our man Ethan or our woman Hannah is your type, (s)he can be yours too: email us at bwgossip@columbia.edu and introduce yourself. If (s)he’s up for a […]

In other news from Cambridge, Bwog recently became aware of a most excellent method of commemorating the heroes of September 11th. How are MIT geeks so wonderful? Why is the Low Dome never graced by random objects? And how, how did they do it?
