Promo runs until 8 p.m. so get in line. Then, you can enjoy it on the J-School’s newly opened patio! The girl below […]

We’ve received multiple tips about filming at 121st and Amsterdam for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new HBO show, The Wonderful Maladys. Also there is her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., and the requisite paparazzi. If you can’t get out of exams to catch them, though, don’t worry: the show, which also stars Studio 60‘s Nate Corddry and […]

Normally, Bwog sticks to free food, but we thought we’d make one cute exception: the Girl Scouts will be selling their famous cookies on Lerner Ramps starting at 4:00 p.m. They’ll be selling all of the most well-known flavors, including Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. No word on how many boxes the troops will have, […]

Try Teachers College’s Library, where the second floor has a “collaboration room” with flatscreens and, for your dozing, a large, soft teddy bear.   The man on the screen won’t judge you, we promise (photo by ACM).

Available right now on Lerner ramps: free Red Bull as part of a promotion for the new Sam Raimi horror flick, Drag Me to Hell (stylized poster at right). Hey, it’s got to be better than Spiderman 3.

Whilst you sit in Butler wishing for a perfect storm to disrupt your finals, take comfort in the fact that such miracles can occur. This morning, the final exam for Physics V1202 (the second required semester of non-engineering general physics) was interrupted by a real live fire alarm in Pupin.  Or was it?  A prankster […]

But only if you’re in the Law School or SIPA.

Have you heard about this new movie? We think it’s called something like, “Star Trek”? In case you missed the $50 million marketing campaign that has included everything from fast-food “Kingons” to Trek-themed Eggo waffles, the New York Times gave you another chance to join in the hype this weekend with an op-ed from Columbia […]

A tipster passes along the work of a Lehman Library jokester.  

At around 11:45, eager pillow-bearers began to congregate on the Butler lawn for the 4th annual Primal Scream/Pillow Fight, which this year featured over a hundred combatants. One claimed to have “stretched all day for this,” while several others wore capes. At about a minute before midnight, the two sides charged screaming towards each other, […]

As mentioned last night, tonight sees the newest tradition on this fair campus: the Spring Pillow Fight. Bring your finest goose down, and hope a quill doesn’t stick you in the eye.  If hitting people without reprecussions is not your cup o’ tea, then you can vent your frustrations verbally by participating in the Primal […]

Thanks to one of the few female graduates in the early days of the law school, copyright law was blessed with the “fair use” clause.  Here’s to in-class movies and music. Measles, mumps, and rubella are frightening now, but as a child you would have preferred putting off your immunization visits to being saved from […]

Congratulations to badanalogyguy, the first-round winner of the Bwog Comment Competition.
