BLOG is SO.DEAD. Sad really. But, in fact, Bobo is rather dull.

Half-Zip is so 1998

This Bowdoin sweatshirt needs to be full-zip hoodie with a broader, full-chest logo, the zipper passing through the middle. The distressed text is excellent and the contrast-colored hood is superb, but the entire ensemble needs work before we purchase. The rectangle underneath "1794" is enigmatic. Bookstore, please make a note.

Submissions for new Bobo traditions should please keep this in mind. Thank you.

Bobo on the Internets: Chem-Free Housing

It's quite funny that our Howell House affiliation is stuck on our permanent Bobo record. We can't even remove it from our profile's list of extracurricular activities on the Great Database / Stalking Device known as PolarNet. Seriously, we have an image to maintain here! Don't misinterpret the previous statement: We love Howell (it was house-less Howard back in our day). But come on, you can only attend so many booze-free Matrix parties before the glamor wears thin. So that is why, throughout our Bobo tenure, we were unofficial Boody House members. Boody had the name, the cool house, the parties, and the "Bowdoin Boody" (with arrow pointing at ass) t-shirts to capture our cold, undergrad hearts. Even after the move into Howell, we sadly spent very little time at our official house. Luckily, we can now experience those missed Howell holiday and swing parties at HowellHouse.org, the house's official web space! The photo album is particularly helpful:Wow! That swing party must have been amazing with P.L. in attendance. We just pray that's not a student. The holiday gift exchange looks fun! We didn't even exchange gifts with Joshua, our bestest bud. In this uncertain time of corporate and government scandal we have to ask: Were college (read: my tuition and generous annual alumni donation) monies used to fund this lovely gift exchange? Thank you HowellHouse.org! We enthusiastically bestow your site with five out of five Bs, BoboWatch's highest honor! If we might make a suggestion, YouTube videos should be in your immediate future. Happy 2007! We'll be watching! [IMAGE SOURCES = All photos captured from HowelHouse.org's photo album. Text and graphics added by BoboWatch editors. BoboWatch makes no claim to ownership.

Yikes.

Whoa. It's been WAY TOO LONG. It's like the time we stayed in our Chamberlain room for three weeks without emerging. Only this is worse. We still exist. Do you? Regular updates resuming...NOW!

Much Thanks to IT!

Thanks to IT for the new view of the Quad. The gothic window frame from the previous view was nice, but this is much improved.

Common Good Day 2006

Happy Common Good Day everyone!Autumn has officially arrived in Maine.

When Your Bobo Past Bites You in the A$$

Bowdoin grad Stephen P. Laffey lost his bid for the Senate: [PHOTO CREDIT = Providence Journal photo by Gretchen Ertl] Mr. Laffey is most notorious for his horrifically homophobic comments published in the Bowdoin Patriot during his days under the pines in the '80s. This is Laffey's most quotable winner: "All the homosexuals I've seen are sickly and decrepit, their eyes devoid of life" (MacKay 2006). Um, note to Mr. Laffey: you suck, you're uber-conservative, AND YOU LOST! Read all about it here at the Providence Journal. So, correct us if we're wrong, but since when has the Bowdoin Patriot been considered a "humor" magazine? Regardless, really not that funny. No - in fact - not funny at all. Sounds like someone was trying to cover their arse by calling the conservative Patriot a satire rag... Oh and better watch out for those Bowdoin "leftists." BURN! [HAT TIPS = Wonkette, Towleroad]

It only gets better with Google Video

This *so* cannot have been legal, especially in the Tower. We admit we were rather harsh with Charles. These idiots deserve that kick in the pants. sigh More greatness here. You can totally play a drinking game with this gem of a video: Take a drink every time you spot a Hyde (chem-free) alumnus!! Thanks to Google video for helping us excavate these Bowdoin winners.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the walk...

Bowdoin Dating Gone Wild!

Whence I was a lad at Bowdoin, it was sure difficult to date. Friggin' Al would never go out with me, but that's a whole different 20/20. So that the newbie freshman don't encounter the same hardship - or have a really bad experience with the Walk of Shame - I present to you the premier online Bowdoin love connection, BowdoinMatch. What better way to meet your Bowdoin significant-other / future wife-husband, because we all know that going to Bowdoin entitles you to undergrad incest. Yours forever, Robbie Peary Never Weary [SOURCE = Bowdoin Match]

Bowdoin on YouTube!

Several Bowdoin students / jerk-offs our new best friends from Howard discovered uploaded several videos to YouTube during after reading period...in June to be exact. ...and the results were disasterous nearly as fabulous as an episode of Jackass. Shouldn't you idiots be studying? What a fab way to spend reading period, those useless two days before finals... Bowdoin's finest indeed...WE AGREE! Furthermore: nice messy room (however, we'll let the mess slide given the WAR poster on the wall). WE LOVE A MESS AND THE WAR-STRIKE-THROUGH ON THE WALL! WE LOVE THAT Y'ALL MADE THE DEAN'S LIST. YOU GO YOU SMARTY JOKERS! If you're really desperate, a slow-motion version is available here. And if you're really brave, another film from the same aspiring Bowdoin director here. Look for the Bowdoin sweatshirt toward the end. These videos should help pinpoint the location of the dumbasses. That is all. *HOORAH, we had a visitor* WE LOOOOOVE YOU CHARLES!

Bowdoin and the NYT

Bowdoin College is on the front page of today's New York Times. Article HERE. We rather like the Bates admission officer's attitude better than Bowdoin's. [SOURCE = New York Times]
