During the fall semester, students help to construct–and then quickly devour–a mile-long sandwich known as THE BIG SUB. [Wikipedia]

There’s a college on a hilltop,
That’s very dear to me
And a certain group of women
With ties of camaraderie

So we’ll sing to dear old Barnard
And loyal be and true
As we show to coming classes
How we love to EAT REALLY BIG SUBS.

The Barnard song actually finishes with “How we love the white and blue.” Then it repeats. It’s very nice and sweet. But not nearly as sweet as our mile long sub.

Yes, I must admit that the women here at my beloved school sure know how to eat. So much, in fact, that nearly the entire school joins in on the ritual of spanning this sub all the way from our quad, down the campus, past the gates, and into our mouths.

I haven’t experienced this fantastic phenomena yet as I’m a first year… but, I can tell you this much: I couldn’t be more proud of my dining service people. You guys are the greatest!

Enjoy the photo at the top right. It’s some strange illustration I found while Google-imaging “largest sub sandwich in the world.”

Looking for some fantastic freebies like the rest of us?

Have no fear, no “fill out thirty-thousand sponsors to win this mac book pro” gimicks here. My good friends at College Humor have a slightly different idea in mind: Leg-Guitar Thrash-Off.

The first 20 contestants to send a picture of themselves thrashing on their leg like a double-necked Gibson to OhManOfCourse IWantAFreeDVD@Gmail.com will win a copy of Reno 911!: Miami on DVD. If you like the show, you’ll love the movie. And if you love the movie, you’ll really love the DVD. So lift those thighs and start strumming.

Enjoy!

Absolutely hilarious and sadly true:

I saw this advertisement on a news site today while I was reading an article. Who thinks these kinds of ads up? And secondly – who would click on something like this? It’s a little strange, don’t you think?

As you may have noticed – I switched back the theme to my old “Save a yellow rose” theme. I wanted to help bring in the Spring season, but I’m just swamped at work and couldn’t get a new design done for myself. However, have no fear! I will hopefully be revising an old idea I had and launching that soon.

Flickr is hands down, the best photo sharing community and service on the internet. Not only do they have a excellent tools for quick uploading and fast organization, they offer access to an amazing tool too! YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN STAMPS.

Choose any photo, and the screen brings you to the awesome tool offered by Zazzle. Rotate and edit the photo any way you’d like, and BAM… you’ve got your cat on a stamp. Now those stamp collectors can start collecting stamps of you. Pretty cool eh?

Flickr accounts are super easy to set up, and if you run a WordPress blog there are tons of plugins out there for you too. Run over to BWD and we’d be happy to install one for you.

Anyways, that’s my novel news piece for the day. In other news:

• Britney Spears left rehab for rehab.
• Paris Hilton might be going to jail. (not).
• And the world’s swimsuit model population may suffer from a Hepatitis A outbreak from a skeezy chef.

Good news day eh?

Procrastinate Much? Well David Seah has just the fix for you. It’s the Procrastinator’s Clock!

Now, the problem is that you know that I know you know you’ve already set your clock ahead, so you cleverly take this into account and end up being even later. It’s a vicious circle. What we need is a way to channel fear and anxiety positively, while keeping you from getting too comfortable with your clock.

Enter the Procrastinator’s Clock. It’s guaranteed to be up to 15 minutes fast. However, it also speeds up and slows down in an unpredictable manner so you can’t be sure how fast it really is. Furthermore, the clock is guaranteed to not be slow, assuming your computer clock is sync’d with NTP; many computers running Windows and Mac OS X with persistent Internet connections already are.

This clock keeps you on your toes because you’ll never truly know if the clock is 15 minutes ahead or not. Of course, you could cheat and peak at your regular computer clock – but that doesn’t help you wanting to fix your procrastination much does it? I know I’ll be giving this clock a try.

I featured this on my company blog but I had to throw it up here too.

For most, there is no crueler day of the calendar year than that of Valentine’s Day. While a tiny fraction of the population can look forward to a holiday of wine and roses, poetry and song, the vast majority of us can anticipate a day of nausea and grimacing, trauma and grief. A day in which minutes seem like hours, and hours like days, as we reflect sorrowfully on yesteryear’s romantic indignities, today’s loneliness, and the unknowable but certain heartbreak that will be visited upon us repeatedly in the years to come.

“Dysfunctional” sayings include:
RUMORS TRUE | PRENUP OKAY? | HE CAN LISTEN | GAME ON TV
CALL A 900# | P.S. I LUV ME | DO MY DISHES | UWATCH CMT
PAROLE IS UP! | BE MY YOKO | U+ME=GRIEF | I WANT HALF
RETURN 2 PIT | NOT MY MOMMY | BE MY PRISON | C THAT DOOR?

Gotta love Demotivators.

For those of us who are more interested in the time in between the game, here is a collection of all the Super Bowl commercials.

Laugh away!

My favorite so far:

If you weren’t already aware, I’m a pretty big Monty Python fan. Well… more than big… maybe “huge” describes it. I own every season of Flying Circus on DVD and nearly every movie they’ve made. Our family has seen Spamalot and loved it… we even bought “the coconuts“.

So, when I found this South Park tribute to Flying Circus on YouTube, I just couldn’t help but love it. I hope every fellow Monty Python fan loves this reenactment of the Parrot sketch as much as I did. Watch Kenny pining for the fjords:

Of course no one can beat the original. Watch it after the jump. Keep reading this »
