Breaking Bad Creator Coming To Penn, Not Bringing Meth Samples

(03/18/14 7:05pm)

Is it just us, or was SPEC really tryna get some attention yesterday? A few hours after putting us through the seven stages of finding out the Fling performer, they announced that SPEC Connaissance and Film will be hosting Vince Gilligan at Penn. Gilligan is the creator of "Breaking Bad," a kinda well-liked show about a drug that Penn kids weren’t doing in PV.





SPEC Reveals Groovy Fling Theme. We Are Still Cold.

(01/30/14 5:24pm)

This year’s fling theme will be “Peace Love and Fling,” according to SPEC's morning listserv blast.  Yes, without the commas. We at UTB were personally shocked, since we definitely thought the theme was going to be Level 254 of Candy Crush, Donuts, or Save Justin Bieber from Deportation.   (But actually, we will always luv u Justin.)

After years of agonizing research, we've finally solved Ego's perennial question.  In a shocking twist of fate, scientists have confirmed that there are three kinds of people at Penn—those who love flyers, those who hate flyers, and those who have an unstoppable urge to write haikus about flyers.  We are in the latter camp.


BMOCandidate Makes a BMOCalendar

(11/18/13 8:51pm)

Penn students are notoriously uncompetitive, so we were surprised to hear about the interesting tactic one contestant in AXO's Big Man On Campus has taken to get a literal leg up on the competition. Senior Andrew Musser's BMOC coaches have sent in a calendar of him posing around campus in his undiez. We’re not kidding. We're also not complaining. We haven't liked betting since that time in Vegas that coincidentally occurred right before the SAC Moratorium, but we have to put our money on this kid.  Check out why after the jump. DISCLAIMER: not safe for class (NSFC... is that a thing yet?). We love it.  Quick question, Andrew--why does the last pic gotta be so small?  It was our fave :(




Penn Has Its Own Netflix, We're All Going to Flunk Out

(11/04/13 7:23pm)

It's Monday and it's really freaking cold outside, but we don't curr because we now have a new way to waste away our lives on the internet! UTV, Penn’s campus TV station, launched its new-and-improved website  yesterday. It features videos from Penn groups like Classless, Penn Masala, and Mask and Wig as well as 10 new original web series produced by and starring Penn students. We've created a short guide to help you figure out where to begin your journey to procrastination nirvana.


Penn Study Explains Another Reason Why Being Single Sucks

(11/01/13 6:43pm)

Normally, when our professors talk about their research, we whip out our phones and get our crotch text on. This week, however, we learned about a study that was legit ABSURD.  According to a team of Penn and Rice sociologists, single and divorced people are twice as likely as married people to die from preventable accidents— things like fire, poisoning, or a vending machine falling on you.  Whith that in mind, it may be time to turn your booty call into your wifey, lest you desire impending doom.

Clubs flyering on Locust this week: you’ve been tricked.  You thought we were normal Penn students traipsing down Locust in search of something to do this weekend, but we were actually journalists taking your flyers to create this juicy collection of poems.  Call us Kate Taylor or something--just kidding, please don't. Strictly Funk presents: Dante’s Inferno This week, Iron Gate: The only Penn kids with swag Gonna be hot, y’all! Sparks Dance Company Presents: “Cirque du Sparks” Another dance show But this has bearded ladies JK.  We wish, doe. Counterparts Fall Show: Private ‘Parts The boy handing out This flyer was really cute. Show your “Private Parts.” TRIHOP for St. Jude’s Pancakes delivered We wish this were every week. Insert Tridelt joke?


CVS Is Naked And Sticky

(10/30/13 3:33pm)

The most annoying part about the 40th and Walnut CVS is no longer the half bald dude who always asks if you have your Extra Care Card. As of yesterday, everyone's favorite money sucker is staying open while their floor is commando and rul' sticky.  Unless you’re trying to role play Indiana Jones caught in quicksand, we recommend schlepping to the 34th and Walnut or 43rd and Locust locations until CVS's facelift is complete. Pssssst, also, don't forget to
