We can’t keep seeing each other if you’re going to let this imperialist racism continue. Ugh, great, so my boss is moving in next door. You should be ashamed of yourself for mocking those poor, downtrodden Kimmel occupiers. You’d better listen to me recount the trivial details of my life, or you’re out of the […]

The nefarious TV bandit left the cords dangling, remarkably similar to the hasty dismantlement of Empti’s former froyo titan.

Using sex references and bad words: an original spin on poetry, haikus, and The Odyssey.  Drugs WILL make the sun come out.  Of course you can spend no money, look like a fool, and still get girls to do you. You will never sleep with Snow White. Unless you have a tail. Hey! Bwog is […]

As of last month, Bwog has turned three years old, and is looking forward to a full set of teeth, complete sentences, counting, and eating as many Lucky Charms as possible. Mmm, tiny marshmallows.
