2Girls1Snack: Pumpkin Treats

By Bwog Staff on Oct 22, 2011 8 Comments

A too-little, too-late (too-gross) allusion to shock porn? We would never! And we resent the accusation. No, this is just our feature about two very hungry girls trying to share big mouthfuls of one snack. Morningside is overflowing with seasonal treats, so we summoned Alison Herman and Sam Schipani to navigate the deep, dark, gooey (and […]

Only at Columbia: I Would Like to Buy a Prefix

By Bwog Staff on Oct 22, 2011 5 Comments

A pedantic Columbian couldn’t resist pointing out Il Cibreo’s EGREGIOUS spelling blunder. Yes, someone actually took the time to scrawl this correction on a post-it. We have a sneaking suspicion it’s a Bwog commenter… jk love you guys! We’re just as guilty.

Big Brother or Concerned Mother?

By Bwog Staff on Oct 22, 2011 1 Comments

Dining Services can play the role of mother when needed. The question is whether or not the mother is a kind one that gives you unlimited fro-yo, or an overbearing one that tells you things you already know.

Blue Man Group

By Bwog Staff on Oct 22, 2011 2 Comments

Perhaps he is there for structural balance? Or maybe he has been condemned to a life of holstering the statue’s weight for betraying his brother.

Last Night with LateNite, Fall Anthology 2011

By Bwog Staff on Oct 21, 2011 25 Comments

Bwog’s comedy correspondent, and Saturday daily editor Bijan Samareh, got his first taste of Late Nite, late last night. He tells it from a freshperson’s perspective. You can see LateNite for yourself tonight and tomorrow at 11pm. When I hear the term “student-written plays,” I dread concept-heavy experimental pieces in which characters recite Shel Silverstein […]
