Girl and Boy at John Jay. Girl looks at Boy’s apple juice: Girl: What kind of drink is that? Boy (sarcastically): It’s my own urine…no, it’s apple juice. Girl takes a sip: You’re right, it is apple juice.

But tonight, there is an opportunity to redeem yourself: What: A party in the subway!

In which staffer Mark Krotov gives movie suggestions for those who fear to venture off the 1, 2, and 3 lines. AMC Loews 84th Street 6 84th and Broadway RV Remember how Robin Williams was really annoying in the confines of a hospital? Now imagine him trapped in an RV. Features hilarious sewage fountains. Stick […]

…or so says a flock of neighborhood residents and students in biohazard t-shirts protesting right now in a police-barricaded rectangle outside the gates at 116th. Pants suited journalists, angry community activists, and bemused passersby found good company on the sidewalk. But Bwog did feel slightly sorry for earnest Young Spartacist manning a little table outside […]

Overheard near Hamilton: A young girl, and a grown man with a dog. Man with dog: Hey, how are you? Girl: I’m good, how are you? Man: Fine. Girl: What’s your dog’s name? Man: Chloe. Girl: Hey, Chloe! [girl pets dog] Man: Say hi, Chloe. [dog is quiet] Come on Chloe! Say hi! [Dog does […]

There was a Target photoshoot today in front of John Jay. The models were really skinny and pretending to be intellectuals for the camera by reading the Spec. We tried to run out with some copies of the Blue & White but, alas, were too late.

If you have walked near the stairs that lead from College Walk to Kent Hall today, you might be asking yourself the following question: why is the water in the east fountain of Low Plaza bubbling with white foam and making weird sizzling noises? We were wondering the same thing. An anonymous Bwog tipster who […]

Today at about 9:15 AM, the fire alarm in Hamilton went off for the second time in as many days. Students who had just arrived at class left their lessons, filed out the doors, waited around sleepily for about 5 minutes, and then went back inside when they realized the coast was clear. Apparently, the […]

America Studies Department tired of being popular, decides to do something about it. Finally, an excuse for not having found a summer internship. Chris Beam is SO not allowed to take part in the safe-space circles anymore. Uh oh…Jacob McKean accidentally submitted his Sociology paper as his Spec column again. But who’s staying home with […]

Does anyone else think it’s kind of odd that Barnard and GS should go through designated entrances for South Beach on South Lawn? Said one student council member manning the GS table for the event: “Our only instructions were that they not bring in their children.” We can only presume that College students are served […]

Bwog correspondent Brendan Ballou reports: I think I just saw him in Morningside Park, wearing a black sweater and black sunglasses. It would make sense, since he’s probably starting his book tour, and I remember some scenes from The Professor of Desire take place in Morningside. Besides, if it isn’t him, someone can make an […]

UPDATE 3:12 pm: More pictures after the jump. This ain’t just no two-bit background filming—the production crew of The Nanny Diaries is pulling out the big guns for all us College Walker-stalkers. Johansson can be seen filming a scene with an as-of-yet unidentified male (possibly co-star Chris Evans, of The Fantastic Four fame) near the […]

Jacob Weaver writes in to say: There’s a sign posted at the top of the stairs leading from Low Plaza up to Dodge that says anyone who happens to walk by during filming of the Nanny Diaries today is giving informed consent to being a potentially recognizable extra in the movie. It says that if […]

Unopposed election victories: still election victories. Spec Photo Editor, victim of recent street scam, fails to get photo of perpetrators; loses $40, dignity.
