What happened to the Fat Men of Broadway?   Did they leave us For better places? Or rust in their metal skin and hollow eyes. Do they miss us, as I miss them? Or enjoy the freedom The MoHi bubble will never grant. Maybe they followed the DSpar path And left us for Lincoln Center. Or are […]

Fresh off the heels of beloved restaurant Amigos, yet another MoHi familiar face is closing down soon.

We’ve all gotten drunk texts from friends, exes, and sleazy fuckboys. But what would those texts look like if they were coming from the president of Columbia himself? Bwog has imagined a few possibilities, and… they aren’t pretty. Screenshots via fake itext message
