Boxed lunch food units at the main desk in Lerner. Get them before the American cheese…uh…stays itself forever. Sandwiches, chips, and surprisingly firm red apples.

Bwog fan Olivia Gorvy reports from our nation’s capital, a humorous happening on the hill. Yesterday was the official Seersucker Thursday on Capitol Hill, a tradition started seven years ago by Sir Trent Lott. Nineteen senators and various aides and interns donned seersucker suits to work. There was an even a huge ice cream social […]

Much lore surrounds the Columbia Tunnels, but also much fact, and a tunneling SEAS ’01 student–operating under the nom de guerre Benoit–has made his e-mail address availible for those curious about Columbia’s subterranean avenues. Bwog staffer Brendan Ballou contacted Benoit nine months ago for his article on another tunneler (and all-around badass) Ken Hechtman, and […]

In which Bwog correspondent Josie Swindler relates the quirks of her home state. Ah, Kentucky. Land of red necks and blue collars. Where deer carcasses pepper the highway’s emergency lanes and tobacco plants flap beautifully in a westerly wind. Kentucky has straddled the rifts in America’s national consciousness since before the Civil War; both Abraham […]

Bwog correspondant Lucie Kroening describes football festivities in Sudetenland in the first of a summer series of dispatches from around the world. Overheard on the loudspeaker at the World of Football complex in front of the Reichstag (also live on the radio): German commentator (in English, with slight accent): Today the USA is playing against […]

Spec is reporting that Matt Brown and Stephen Searles, of the homophobic and antisemitic graffiti, were slapped on their spray-painting wrists today at their court hearing (this time, they decided to show up). Bwog noticed a few things: – Searles’ counselor, Simone Gordon, is a mitigation expert and sensitivity trainer at Yeshiva University, home to […]

Last August, Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) set off a media shit storm by suggesting that NYPD officers use race as a criterion for “random” bag searches. After being slapped down by the good servicemembers themselves, Hikind is back at it, introducing a bill on Thursday that would permit police officers to arrest people for looking […]

No caption necessary. See it full-size.

The Spec website recently underwent a redesign, and Bwog sincerely hopes that it’s still a work in progress. Seems like readers so far agree.

Ninjas on campus! Bwog tipster Shannon Donnelly marvels: As I was crossing College Walk at 6:30 this evening, I came across at least a hundred Martial Arts blackbelts. They were all lined up in their white uniforms and black belts, looking very fierce despite the persistant rain. Because I don’t have the Zen training necessary […]

Have Princeton and Cornell caught NYU-itis? A study published in this month’s issue of Pediatrics found that 17% of students in a random web-based survey of 2,875 students at those two schools have purposely injured themselves in one way or another. This scares Bwog shitless. What is it about Ithaca and suburban New Jersey that […]

The Met and the Frick may be stimulating, but for some real deviance, Bwog recommends the Museum of Sex, a 2002 addition to New York City’s artistic firmament. One tipster recommends that visitors not miss the Sex Across America electronic exhibition, which features listings of visitor-submitted stories of various sexual encounters, sorted geographically Mapquest-style. Columbia […]
