The Bwog
Misery Loves Company (and Blue Java)

Bwog took a frightening walk around Butler. The only thing outnumbering Redbull cans and Facebook page views were the dirty looks directed at our camera flash. Nonetheless, Bwog emerged unscathed and camera intact with a photo essay of Butler's temporary residents.

You guys got a photo of that disgusting girl that LIVES in 210. The one with the rat's nest on her head and grocery bags and garbage all over the place. I've had to relocate to the fourth floor since I can't stand the sight of her

In the top photo, the mouse cord forms a diagonal line between the dark blue background of the mousepad and the letter "I" in CUIT, so that it looks like CUNT

omg. i was in 210 last night and sat behind her. her desk is covered in papers, wrappers, and dirty plates with crumbs. she is only one of many nasty, smelly, selfish people who have moved in and leave books, lamps, pillows, tissue boxes, etc. what makes you think you are more entitled to study space than other people!

these hoes better be careful, cause when they are gone taking a shower in the toilets, im gonna go find me some books to sell!

you left out the CREEPY corner desk in that odd (maybe unnumbered?) room just before 210. The guy has WRAPPING PAPER and an expensive-looking watch taped to the inside of his cubicle. Shudder.

Why do people study in a library? Go back to your rooms. People study in the libraries because they think it's fashionable. Butler culture is crowd culture. You're all a bunch of brainwashed morons.

why the fuck study in Butler? It's the worst fucking library on campus. You DO know about Uris, Lehman and Diamond, right?

Smelly-ass infidels!

nice idea, bwog, but ultimately just depresses the readership. misery hates company when it comes to studying.

maybe the fact that we are here ALL THE FUCKING TIME. the reality is, there is a certain crew of butler people who will enforce their own existence. we know who we are and frankly, when it comes to it, we own this place. squatters' rights bitch.

as long as the "butler-crew," stays in butler all the time, i am content to restrict my activities to the rest of new york city.

also, you cc goons will probably find this funny:

but i was personally horrified with myself for appreciating the jokes.

My name implies that you should burn your books, and buy me from amazon.com. I shall store your books within my belly of knowledge only to burp them out on command. Also, I search wikipedia and I think Toni Morrison wants to do me.

Hey, bwog, don't you maintain that you delete comments about specific people? these remarks are pretty hurtful. whatever your study habits, to be put on blast by a bunch of underslept, grumpy undergrads is not exactly a confidence boost before finals. no one deserves to get insulted like this. I move for comment deletion.

Butler campers can suck my hairy a-hole. The next time I see one of you bratty shits taking over a whole table and then leaving your shit behind to guard it for you while you run off for five friggin' hours, DON'T be surprised if you come back to find that someone has accidentally spilled their coffee over all of it.

last year there were kids in milstein in one of those little booths upstairs with a paper lantern hanging from the ceiling.

i feel much better now that i'm rarely in butler studying, but now i don't have the shame of my inferior work ethic and easy distractability to motivate me to actually study.
