Marshawn Lynch, Circling the Wagons With His Pimped Out Cart
In our excitement over the Warriors, we completely forgot that Golden Bears are going pro today. So imagine our delight when we opened up ESPN and saw where Money Lynch was going. Man, this weekend keeps on getting better and better. With the Sabres a Stanley Cup favorite, perhaps God is turning his eye [...]
The Way of A Warrior
We try to avoid hyperbole around these parts, but man, last night’s game was incredible. Even sitting in the back back row of the arena, the excitement in the stadium is too difficult to describe. We wish we could send you that picture of the Indian dude Bhangra-ing up in the 4th row, but I [...]

While we’re sleeping after a horrible/awesome Game 3…

Now THIS is a Berkeley Video
We lead you into the weekend with our usual Friday Berkeley short clip. We decided that with the lull before finals moving steadily, we’d just give you something that made absolutely no sense at all. This video has no plot, no characters, but tripping visualizations that make you think you need to have a [...]
This Could Be A Very Painful or Unbelievable or Painfully Unbelievable 48 Minutes
We’re skipping Telebears today (seriously, who does their schedule on Friday night? Go outside!), so normally I’d fill the dead air time with something like hamster eating broccoli and wiggling uncontrollably.
But your esteemed editor is going to Game 3 of Mavs-Warriors tonight. I haven’t been to a basketball game in 12 years (it was [...]

Where’s the Award for Best Tree Hugger?
The Daily Cal, in their always infinite wisdom, has decided to put the power of finding what is best about Berkeley into your hands. Yes, you, student, your privileged and adaptable hands, to discover the hidden gems of Cal…or at least the ones where everyone and their friends and posses show up.
That’s why the Daily [...]
While We’re Watching Stephen Jackson Go Insane…Events for 4/27
2007 Cal Picnic Day, Lower Sproul, 11 AM-2 PM. Man, nothing brings up thoughts of summer more than a nice barbeque on homeless-infested, urine-stenched Lower Sproul.
2007 Telegrah Day, Upper Sproul, 11 AM- 2 PM. One of the few events where hippies might have contributed to history.
Haas Carnival, Haas Courtyard, 5-8 PM. Let the corporate [...]
Middle-Aged Man Scoffs At Your Bhangra Beats
Â
We always thought teenage parties were totally worthless, since all they ever do is talk about how guys and girls never call them enough on the phone, or poke at other’s insecurities to a point where it would violate the Geneva Convention laws for civility. Witness this Berkeley middle school party where some totally hammered, [...]
There? Their? Or They’re? Telebears XIV–English
English must be fun. Go to lecture, listen to absorbing thoughts about the most amazing texts ever written, write essays about those texts, and then have the professor/GSI knock you down because your interpretation doesn’t coincide with theirs. Must always be fun being an English major.
Here’s what the students say about their fickle profs. (Note: [...]
