Boo plagiarism scandal.  Hooray record donation?!  

This afternoon and at 8 PM tonight, the CU players present Absurdité, a two hour-long presentation of three short plays by Christopher Durang and one by Eugene Ionesco.

Which comments were responses to which Bwog articles? We’re trusting you not to cheat: a. “Chickens are arguably as intelligent as dogs or cats, yet if someone treated his pets the way that chickens are abused on factory farms, he would be taken to court.” b. “Motherfucker got narcolepsy, falling asleep at 7:48.” c. “I […]

If you’re coming out of the 116th Street subway stop, be prepared to be serenaded and accosted by some Bible studiers singing melodiously, wielding an array of folk instruments and distributing colorful fliers with butterflies on them.

A movie-renting tipster sends this gem our way: “Lee Bollinger renting at Kim’s. Wearing a puffy green North Face, light-wash jeans, and a winning coif. Rental: I Know Who Killed Me…..just kidding, if only it were that juicy. In the Valley of Elah. Snooze.” So serious.

This week on Cooking, Bwog’s chef has got her gaze on the Farmer’s market that happens outside of Lerner on Thursdays and Sundays. Nothing like tasty winter produce on a cold day like today.
