This Columbia College 1980 home video gets us every year. It’s comforting, because the students are not unlike us. They’re neurotic.

By Bwog Staff on Apr 20, 2012 5 Comments

Last night, Bwog might have been mentally preparing for 420 by letting off some steam at 1020, where we might have played some darts.
