That’s right, kids. There’s a new website called ThePartyFund.com, and they will give you 100 free dollars to throw the low-budget party of your dreams. Sort of. There are some strings, of course. Read the rest of this entry »
Although it’s been over a year since I flew the college coop, decent Cornell gossip still seems to come my way sometimes. Recently I received word from a trusted source that two gay students were caught earlier today with their pants down in a rather comprising location: a faculty member’s office. The source tells me that they weren’t just exchanging a little HJ action (NBD!) or a Beej (hey, that’s pushing it), they were “full on fucking,” like, as in a porno or something. The kicker? They had to write an apology note as penance. Of course, I can’t resist imagining the contents of this note. Our version is after the jump, leave your own in the comments.

A few weeks ago, the good folks over at Alfred A. Knopf approached me on West 13th Street. With a Nantucket Red L.L. Bean tote and bright blue sunglasses in tow, the Knopf-ers sternly demanded that I give away the tote, glasses, and similarly preppy items on CornellWatch, so that the release of their book, True Prep, is duly noted in the annals of the Ivy League blogosphere. Like any good-natured man-about-town with a certain fondness for paisley Lilly Pulitzer blazers, I nodded and obliged.
Co-authored by Lisa Birnbach (who is actually Jewish) and Chip Kidd (this cannot be his real name, can it?), the book is mostly an update of Ms. Birnbach’s classic 1980 book, How to Be WASPy. Some selections from the book are below, but first: how do our darling readers win this stuff? It’s easy: Just leave a really preppy tweet in the comments. If you need inspiration, check out preppy Twitter-ers YesImWaspy or MyLifeIsCT. Make sure it’s under 140 characters, and make up a funny fake Twitter handle to preface it. Leave your email so we can contact you and get your address to send the stuff to.
Now, one fun excerpt:
Today, a story ran in the Cornell Daily Sun about how a Facebook group called the Gay Mafia threw a huge-ass gay party in Watermargin Cooperative House to kick off the big gay semester at Big gay Red. Gay (and straight) people made out on the dancefloor! There was an ice luge with liquor pouring into gay (and straight) mouths! Et cetera:
While the Gay Mafia primarily arranges these events for the benefit of the gay community, others are still welcome to attend. In fact, the party actually attracted a wide range of attendees. Yes, there were certainly more guys making out here than at the typical college party, but at the same time there was also a fair share of heterosexual action going on as well. In fact, Jacob Frank ’11, a friend of one of the Gay Mafia administrators, said that this is the third Gay Mafia event he’s attended. “It’s a good time for anyone. I actually met my girlfriend last year at one of these events,” Frank admitted.
Good press for the open, straight-couple-creating Gay Mafia, yes? Apparently no press is good press for them, since the admins already deleted the Group from Facebook a few hours, leaving a fairly cryptic goodbye message: Read the rest of this entry »
And the actress who played her just got nominated for a supporting actress Oscar! That would be Anna Kendrick in Up in the Air — itself nominated for Best Picture — for her superb portrayal of Cornell grad Natalie Keener. In the office, Natalie is everything that Andy Bernard isn’t: professional, upwardly ambitious, and terribly stiff.
Where Andy Bernard reminisces aloud of his Here Comes Treble a cappella superstardom at Cornell, Natalie is the type who’s more likely to remember nights spent tirelessly studying for her upper-level Johnson School classes, which she took on top of her AEM courses just to show her classmates that the Ag School Biz program is not a joke.

So this was first reported by Guest of a Guest (where I used to work, oddly enough), and now has hit Gawker. The exchange between the two sexting fiends is hilariously porny, and contains gems such as: “And I will be SO FUCKING HORNY after I get done SPANKING that FINE ASS of yours for hours, you’ll be FULL for a week after you swallow me! And I hear that CUM is an excellent source of protein, as well as other nutrients!!! 
”
Also: “Because more than half the time, I’m actually just fixing for just Jake as Trevor has already eaten half the house by the time I get home. And the minute we come in the door, Jake is heading straight for his highchair and wanting fed before I even have my coat off. So I fix him something quick (grilled cheese, omelet, etc.). Or over the weekend I’m make a big pot of something so we can have leftovers, which Jake and Trevor don’t mind, but I get sick of them within a day or two and resort back to popcorn.I’m bad, I know.I think I need a good spanking.and to be put on my knees and force fed.”
The thing is, I’ve talked to a number of undergrads in various colleges who have NOT received these incriminating e-mails, so Gawker and Guest are wrong to say that the entire campus was cc’ed. I’ve just confirmed, actually, via an old Sunny friend of mine who has a friend in the business school, that only the Johnson School of Management was cc’d on these emails. For reference, 267 students were admitted to the MBA program in 2009 and 272 were admitted in 2010. That’s much less of a colossal fuck-up than sending it out to the over 15,000 students and grad students under the full umbrella of Cornell’s numerous colleges and schools.
Subheading: Inanimate community reacts
Can’t read the sign? Wondering whose people’s deaths the pink flag remembers? A close-up after the jump.
So the cherry blossoms are in bloom, along with the magnolias and some other flowering trees of whose name I have no knowledge. Another picture after the jump!
So, this might just get national attention and I can still pre-empt the Daily Sun, so here’s something my friend Chris Donohoe send to me. Chris is a really nice guy, and — sorry dude — we’ve pretty much known he was gay since freshman year. In any case, he is a gay man of faith and that’s something that the religious group he was involved with couldn’t learn to tolerate:
Tomorrow (Thursday, April 23) an article will run in the Cornell Daily Sun. It will showcase the following information.
At the beginning of this academic year I (Chris Donohoe) was asked to step down from my leadership position with a religious organization (Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship) on campus after coming out of the closet. Although the university is taking aggressive action to address this injustice, it is time for the LGBT community and its allies to unite.
