The LLC: always a treasure trove of crazy shit. First, Bwog ran across boxes begging for the anonymous return of John Jay plates, silverware, and salt and pepper shakers, like those boxes at summer camp where counselors told you to put your drugs when no one was looking, no questions asked. I mean, we all […]

As Bwog was passing by the Senior Dinner on South Lawn tonight, it caught sight of the waiters filling pitchers with water. With a hose. From a spigot in the ground. That’s “gray water,” right? Ew. Just for fun, Bwog inquired. The two people guarding the entrance of the tent asserted that the same caterer […]

Girl and Boy at John Jay. Girl looks at Boy’s apple juice: Girl: What kind of drink is that? Boy (sarcastically): It’s my own urine…no, it’s apple juice. Girl takes a sip: You’re right, it is apple juice.

Finally, the end to your late-night grocery expense-related insomia. Fairway wins. For everything. Too bad it’s that awkward 10+ blocks away. The 125th St. (and 12th Ave.) Fairway isn’t just the supermarket of choice for West Siders but for New Yorkers all over. The produce section alone takes up the same space as Morton Williams. […]

Jim Williams reports: A recent event in Noha Radwan’s Contemporary Islamic Civilization lecture causes this Blue and White correspondent to wonder whether certain students are making a feeble attempt to revive Prangstgrüp or whether said students are merely assholes. About 20 minutes into class, a college-aged male who may or may not attend Columbia University […]

It looks like the folks at Hewitt Dining Hall haven’t learned their lesson after being cited for health code violations earlier this year. Anna Corke reports: About 1/2 hour ago, Leora Kelman, Sam Cohen, and I sighted a cockroach in Hewitt Dining Hall. It was about 1.5 inches long, probably of the German variety. After […]

Simeon Kimmel reports: At an anti-war event sponsored by the Working Families Party yesteday, folks discussed different strategies for pulling out of Iraq. A particularly innovative approach was suggested by an older woman, complete with tied bonnet and cane: “We won’t end this war until we’re all vegetarians,” she hooted. “The corpses are piling up […]

Jessica Cohen reports: Wondering what time Tom’s Restaurant closes on Thursday evenings, I searched for the famed diner on Wikipedia, and I found these interesting few sentences: “Tom’s Restaurant…would later become a site for pop-culture pilgrimage due to the use of its exterior for the diner in the popular television sitcom Seinfeld where Jerry and […]

Bwog, So suppose someone has left you candies and such on your door for Christmas, Valentines, etc. Problem is, you don’t know who this person is, and you have a strong suspicion that the candies aren’t actually intended for you, but someone else with a very very similar name. What should you do? ~Anonymously Confused […]

After braving the mountainous snowfall to end up at the Manhattan Jewish Community Center on 76th St. at Amsterdam, one Bwog correspondent found her urge for ground chickpeas unsatisfied. The Center promised to set a Guiness World Record today with a 12 ft. wide, 500 lb. plate of hummus. Upon arrival, she was told the […]

The Sunday Times recommends Morningside Heights restaurants on Amsterdam. It’s like a Bizarro Broadway– just replace drunk undergrads with sober SIPA students, Riverside Park with Morningside, and bad food with good.

Kent has apparently turned into some sort of EALAC consortium night club for this eve of February. There were grad student types lounging around in the library. On the elongated table that runs the length of the room were empty containers of take-out (possibly Chinese) and people dancing. Yes, that’s right, adults were dancing on […]
