It’s Thursday. We’re on the homestretch, we’re almost there! Take a minute to join Bwog in bed for a quick mind-cuddle. For more Bwog-love, send your overheards, questions and poetry to tips@bwog.com Bwogline: Ivy League? More like the Crime-y League.

Little-known fact: contrary to popular belief, Bwog does not stand for the Blue and White Blog, but for Brian Wagner, Original Gangster.

Just one more Music Hum final…. Bwogline: You go, Angelia Jolie. Finals tip: The Morton Williams gummy worms not only have smiles BUT little A’s stamped on them.
