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 [...]

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 [...]

Middle-Aged Man Scoffs At Your Bhangra Beats

 
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: [...]
