We witnessed the following exchange in Blue Java about a week ago: Frantic guy at counter: What tea has caffeine in it? I just need something with caffeine. Blue Java employee: Yes, these teas…?

Student 1: I think that when private acts affect the community, that’s when the government […]

Nothing like the election holiday to get us talking about Jesus. In McBain, Josh shares this tip: Two security guards are talking at the swipe-in desk when I walk in. Guard 1: Yeah, that’s true. Guard 2: (In a very matter-of-fact tone). You can’t trust a man with a knife in one hand, a smile […]

Outside Hamilton, at about 8:59 PM last night: Guy 1:  “Ayn Rand, you really need sex, but not with me!” Guy 2:  “Help!  Help!  I’m being raped by Ayn Rand!” What’s terrible is that the hero of The Fountainhead actually does rape his love interest.

Two guys walking out of McBain… Guy 1: So wait bro, what if a girl had a sex change like her second year at Barnard, would she still be allowed graduate? Guy 2: Or if a Columbia guy had one and then wanted to transfer to Barnard? Outside of Tom’s. A group of 4 boys… […]

Apparently, professors at our fine institution have had sex on the brain these past few days.  Bwog tipsters have sent in no fewer than four quotes on the subject from their classes, here compiled.
