Bwog Sports Sunday: LINning

By Bwog Staff on Feb 19, 2012 2 Comments

It’s impossible to talk about sports in New York this week without mentioning Knicks point guard sensation, Jeremy Lin. It also turns out it’s impossible to talk about Jeremy Lin without using a LINconcievable number of LINcredibly bad puns. Anyone who has turned on a TV or picked up a New York newspaper in the […]

Conor Skelding stepped inside. I’d never been inside Casa Italiana […]

In Defense of… Dumbphones

By Bwog Staff on Feb 19, 2012 8 Comments

Are you reading this on your iPhone? Well, maybe you shouldn’t be! Bwog is back to defend the seemingly indefensible, and today, resident Luddite Raphaelle Debenedetti makes the case for the dumbphone. Since it’s not New Jersey, it won’t be our most hopeless battle yet. “Are you two texting each other?” asked the curiously blunt waiter at […]

#TBT: The First World Leaders Forum

Mia Lindheimer 0

#tbt
actually did putin even need a translator? was putin fluent in english at this point?
but the real question is: how did those snipers get onto the hamilton roof
could putin have taken lithum?
did his translator have to painstakingly explain to him that not all buildings called "library" in america are actually libraries
do you think putin was confused by the fact that cu has a building called low library that isn't a library
if putin visited london and stayed at the ritz hotel would he be ... putin on the ritz
russian snipers probably train in parkour cause they're hardcore
the next time you walk across low plaza remember that vladimir putin once also walked across low plaza

Sounds Of CU: Hamilton Hall

Emma Seely-Katz 0

a ladies' room every three floors? what is this? 1820?
can we talk about those hamilton bathrooms though
do you think alexander hamilton had to climb this many stairs all the time
hamilton probably stayed in shape AND created the US financial system
if you listened to the hamilton musical while studying in hamilton would that help you pass your french exam or would it be so much hamilton your mind had to spontaneously combust
playlist
sounds of cu
they didn't have elevators in the 18th century
truly a role model for us all

can you believe someone is keeping track of early human decapitations
if he visits columbia who will swipe the pope into jj's place
somewhere out there someone has a phd in archaeology with a specialization in decapitation and bwog wants to know who this person is
the barnard bears are mostly friendly bears
watch out for the pope
you'll probably get mauled if you claim women's colleges are useless though
