Overheard outside Cafe 212: Girl speaking passionately to 2 guys: …It’s not that. It’s that I hate the Varsity Show, I hate everyone involved with it, and I hate it as an institution. Apparently, not everyone finds Zach Bendiner wearing a wig and make-up as funny as Bwog does.

This weekend Bwog found itself in that other great northern city, Seattle, to attend its father’s second wedding. Here, lilacs bloom and herons dip fish out of the salty clear water, and Gore-Tex covers the pallid, unshaven skin of guilty white liberals. After two days knee deep in West Coast relatives, Bwog is ripe with […]

Thank God for the Philolexian Society, purveyor of pretension and producer of a nifty new little publication called Surgam, for lifting this den of philistines into the light of high-minded pursuits! A goodly group of young ladies and gents stepped out in their best Victorian finery to take the air this afternoon while engaging in […]

Last night, The Varsity Show gave its annual I.A.L. Diamond Award to famed musician Art Garfunkel in a gala affair that was studded by exactly one star. The event, a pre-show reception held in Lerner C555, was attended by a mixed crowd of Varsity Show parents, friends, and alumni who enjoyed free drinks and appetizers. […]

No, you didn’t fall asleep last night and sleep for a week, they just decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo early. The Low steps are as multicultural as it gets this time of year–the Armenians, Hawaiians, Japanese, and more ethnic groups Bwog is too hungover from last night’s post-Varsity-Show partying to remember have laid claim […]

While working on papers in EC at about 12:00 pm, Bwog smelled a wood fire. Looking out the window, we saw smoke pouring out of an apartment on the corner of 118 and Morningside Avenue. Almost immediately, four fire trucks pulled up. Ladders were raised to the roof and the blaze was extinguished in about […]

According to today’s NYT, Morningside Heights’ own La Rosita is having trouble paying its $18,000/month rent and might close. Time to pitch in, guys. The Bwog for one is switching its La Taqueria loyalty over to La Rosita. It’s about 17% less filthy, anyway.

(Skinny guy in striped shirt walks away from two girls waiting in line to pick up tickets to the Varsity Show) Girl #1: Ian smells like liquor. Girl #2: Ian ACTS like liquor. Ian was unavailable for comment.

Most performances beginning with the announcement, “Wait, we’ve got to start it again. Sorry folks,” don’t end up being worth the time spent in an uncomfortable black box chair (luckily, this one was free). Most also don’t include two synchronized TVs, pre-show advice to use provided flashlights in moments of intense darkness, and a goggled, […]

Lucky Hindus. Every religion should have a “go crazy and throw paint at each other” day. Better than the pictures from this morning are the comments Bwog overheard this afternoon… “I’ve been in the shower for an hour, and my tits are still green.”  “I still have paint coming out of my ears. I clean […]

Sure, the cookies from Cafe 212 are okay, but they can’t beat baked goods made with parental love and care to raise spare change for charitable endeavors. Stop by Broadway Presbyterian Church’s nursery bake sale and kid-fest to soak in the joy of spring and cute children! In a non-pedophilic way, of course.

Shakeer Rahman reports: There is a lot of free Dinosaur BBQ in front of Hartley-Wallach. Beth Milton adds: Really good food. And still there as of 3:45 pm. And a lonely container of leftover potato salad sat at the Lerner Front Desk through the end of the Varsity Show– approx. 11:00 pm. That’s gross.

Overheard outside John Jay:”I didn’t get any sleep last night. I went to bed at 12:30, but I kept being woken up by Richard III.” Nothing like the wake-up call of betrayal, murder, and outdoor Shakespeare. See the final showing tonight at 8 PM. Be at the Sundial.

There are a lot of poor people who need saving, and I can show you the cost-effective way to do it.

Columbia divested from Sudan on Friday by pledging to not invest in 18 oil and gas companies with business ties to the country. This comes after a Wednesday New York Times article pointing out that Yale, Harvard, Brown and other universities had already cleaned their hands of that dirty genocide business. Even our social justice […]
