This is the line outside Häagen-Dazs, as seen from McBain by tipster Maricela Gonzalez. They are giving away free scoops until 8. If you join now maybe you can get some before they close!
A long time ago (Sunday) in a galaxy far, far away (Lewisohn), a tipster came across this weirdly poetic prophecy of imminent evil (rain pigeons): At least they don’t have acid rain pigeons.
In the third part of our DIY relaxtion series, Lily Icangelo takes us to the Well Woman center. It’s not just for ladies! Nestled on the first floor of Reid Hall in the Barnard Quad, (where the doors to the quad caution “Do Not Open: Alarms WILL Sound,”) is Barnard College’s Well Woman office. You […]
Name, school: Jody Zellman, JTS/GS/PBS Claim to fame: Bacchanal, Beta Theta Pi, CUNUFF, cartoonist for The Columbia Spectator (until I was cut to make room for “younger students”), cartoonist for Bwog, Jonah Liben’s roommate.

Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion. Great, so more blue screens while having skype sex. (Engadget) MetroCards are being phased out! Over the next three or four years, that is. (NY Daily News) Brooklyn-based Hasidic Jewish newspaper Der Tzitung photoshopped Hillary Clinton and another woman out of the now famous recent situation room photos. (WaPo, […]
Bweatherman Pat Blute taught us to love the weather, but sometimes it takes advantage of us. After floods ravaged Australia in January, Pat decided to take the semester off to help the victims. Somehow along the way, he got stranded on a deserted island with wild goats. Poisonous ants devoured Pat, and his leg fell […]
Term papers and finals have—as they always do—snuck up on us. That means a lot of feverish writing sessions, printing problem sets, and checking Courseworks. It also means a lot of time in computer labs. So when you’re in line at the Lerner printer, waiting for a Mac to free up, or just typing away […]
Name, school: Alice Mottola (occasionally known as “Nurse Alice”), Barnard College Class of 2011 Claim to fame: Co-President of Latenite Theatre for two years. Pretty decent actress, despite once bitterly dividing Bwog commenters. This semester, I wrote and directed a play called “Brightness” that people really seemed to enjoy. I’ve also been called a cult leader on […]
