Facebook’s Prez Bo is now dead. May he rest in peace. -Thanks to Adrian Podpirka for the tip

Torrential rains in central Pennsylvania have forced nearly 200,000 people to evacuate. One intrepid Bwog correspondent reports from a river town in Bucks County, PA: A family of tourists wander down the road onto Main Street, which is almost completely empty except for a few store owners loading their merchandise into moving trucks. The family […]

What’s the point, exactly, of throwing a Coney Island-themed party on South lawn, complete with burgers, ice cream, a bounce house, a mini-lighthouse, and singing dogs? One eyewitness characterized it as a “fundraiser thingy,” but couldn’t figure out what the event this afternoon was trying to raise money for. Maybe just an acknowledgement that most […]

On June 13th, Professor of English and Comparative Literature James Shapiro won the BBC 4 Samuel Johnson Prize for his work, A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599. Shapiro’s tome, a partial biography, details the 35-year old Bard as he works on As You Like It, Julius Caesar, and Hamlet. Herewith, the Bwog […]

Columbia has just posted its alcohol policy and rules for “pre-game initiatives” at Baker. And guess what? Free beer!*     *One cup per person per concession run, up to four concession runs permitted, only if you have two valid forms of ID [updated] with birthdate. You may only drink in specified areas during the […]

Quick! You have exactly 34 minutes to claim one of CUarts’ 20 free tickets to Joe’s Pub to see “various players” that have “quite a bit of punk -and- jazz cred” among them, tonight. Good luck.

There is a pile of Columbia University Dance Marathon T-shirts at the main desk in Lerner.

Do you like socialism? How about scruffy-looking skinny boys in tight t-shirts with slogans denouncing genocide? Or women with really short haircuts? Then flock to Lerner, where the Center for Economic Research and Social Change and the International Socialist Organization are hosting the conference “Socialism 2006!” (build the left, fight the right).  

Bwog would not want to be Landon Donovan–or anyone associated with the US Soccer Team–after our boys’ 2-1 loss to Ghana yesterday. Sunil was not happy. “This is where the entire world is watching,” said the United States Soccer Federation president, with the kind of icy disapproval reserved for those who confuse Lorentz curves with […]

Barnard student Hannah Baker reports our crumbly hate crimes just keep coming: I discovered possibly another incarnation of the Nazi cracker prankster sitting on a police barrier outside of the subway [near Barnard]. It was a tupperware container containing what seemed to be melba toast and had written in sharpie on the top a swastika, […]

Barnard student Lily Perlmutter says: There’s a guy out [at the Barnard gates] from a labor union with a GIANT blow-up rat with [President of Barnard,] Judith Shapiro’s salary plastered everywhere, and signs asking for better wages. The guy is blowing a whistle and shouting, “JUDY! JUDY!” But there isn’t a crowd of strikers, just […]

In the beginning, there were three: a libertarian, a conservative, and a socialist who (according to Fed lore) started the Federalist Paper in 1986. Now one of the founding fathers, Neil M. Gorsuch, CC ’88 and FiJi frat boy (not the socialist, Bwog surmises) has been nominated to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. If […]

It seems that the law has caught up with the facebook pervert; that guy who stalked Columbia girls among other New York college students for their naked pictures, claiming he (posing as a she) needed them for a “class project.” One of Bwog’s tipsters was the unfortunate target of this creepy man: “We did some […]

From Bwog tipster James Williams: Take any typical black columbia email computer. Hold down ctrl + alt + shift + g and right click on the mouse and you get Tetris. Amazing. Someone test this out and let Bwog know if it actually works! Post your high scores and your initials on this thread (or […]

Bwog was so excited upon getting a look at this year’s NSOP logo that it couldn’t help but share it with the viewing public. We’ll spare you the bubbly e-mail it came with.
