Breaking: P&W Sandwich Shop to Close in a Week

By Bwog Staff on Dec 14, 2011 44 Comments

The rumors are true: P&W Sandwich Shop, Bwog’s favorite lunchtime haunt, is closing. Shocked and appalled by what we hoped was a cruel finals prank (remember Hawkma?), Bwog called over only to receive confirmation of the tragic tip. P&W is owned by the same family who operates Hungarian, next door. Due to “lease termination,” P&W’s last day will be […]

Update: The anonymous artist is Kyle Hom, SEAS ’14. Snaps, Kyle! A rather crafty tipster submitted this piece of lovely Photoshop GIMP art today. It’s just the latest in a range of t-shirts, mugs, and cufflinks (we don’t get it either) inspired by a British Ministry of Information poster from the Second World War. Originally […]

By Bwog Staff on Dec 13, 2011 12 Comments

Adam Klein—the last of the students arrested in Operation Ivy League to begin pretrial proceedings—was denied diversion to treatment in a Manhattan courtroom today, reports Bloomberg. Had he been granted diversion and completed the program successfully, Klein could have avoided a felony charge on his criminal record. “Obviously we’re disappointed,” Klein’s attorney, Alan Abramson, told […]

A Study Space Of One’s Own

Bwog Staff 7

be careful not to fall off those ledges though
bwog can personally attest that the 4th floor barnard hall armchairs are super comfy
bwog explores campus
bwog loves butler but bwog also loves places outside of butler
campus
finding a nice place to study on a campus of over five thousand people - it's a struggle
hide and seek
luckily bwog is here to help
the most awkward thing is when you cough in a reading room and everyone turns to silently judge you

#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
