David Zhouuuu! Werewolf bar mitzvah, spooky, scary! Boys becoming men! Men becoming wolves!

Ladies, you know you want to quaff that hair.

February 25, 2008 at 12:15 PM (from campus)
it's spelled coif, short for coiffure

quaff means to drink heartily, ie "he quaffed his beer"

unless of course you'd like to drink his hair, in which case spelling is the least of your problems

it is very fitting that there is a question mark after comparative ethnic studies. i think they put a question mark on your diploma if that is your major

Yes, Cheap Amusements was terrible. And that rub-n-tug re-edit is great.. it also appears at the very end of the Glimmer's DJ Kicks album.

What the hell is Morgan doing single? Only on Columbia's utterly fucked up/non-existant dating scene could someone as beautiful, charming, and talented as her end up without a man.

Also, Cheap Amusements is, indeed, one of the worst books ever, though I've gotta say I'm disappointed that Power Broker or Nature's Metropolis didn't make "best book."

Do the people who post personals actually go on a real date with someone who replied? If so, Bwog should post on how the date goes.
Posted by well: #13 (in reply to #9) · reply · track
February 25, 2008 at 2:05 PM (from campus)
you obviously know her, so why are you pretending that you don't know she's single?

Don't have the Bawls to contact David Zhou.

A friend of mine was contacted by someone she knew vaguely after posting a personal and they went on a couple of dates after.

Highly doubt people would be cool having Bwog cover their dates, as amusing as that would be.
