Fitness and Video Games Rolled Into One

(10/14/11 6:49pm)

For all of you video game addicts who realize that adding a bit of exercise to your couch potato routine wouldn't kill you, consider looking into Fitocracy. Fitocracy, started by Penn alumni Brian Wang ('08) and Dick Talens ('08), uses the same concepts behind video game addiction to get people movin' and groovin' to the tune of their own fitness goals.




To the People Who Thought the Fall Fest Photo-Booth Pics Would Never Surface

(10/12/11 3:17pm)

You were wrong. We've combed through and selected our favorites, compiling a collection chock full of mustaches and people who could afford to spend more time practicing seductive faces in the mirror (Kidding! We're into it). CONTEST ALERT: Captions for photos six and seven are blank so that we can identify our most clever readers of them all. We want funny. Photo 1: "We're using such weird metaphors." Photo 2: "Oh." Photo 3: "We're scared of intimacy." Photo 4: "It will never come again." Photo 5: "You're okay, strobe light." Photo 6: ?????? Photo 7: ??????



Vote or You Will Be Stuck at Penn for Fall Break

(09/30/11 12:27pm)

Yo freshmen, did you know it was election season? If you dropped the ball because you were too busy flitting around the quad with your new roomie (bff!) or parading all the way to 40th Street for Copa Wednesday, the good news is that you still have one more day to vote. And you should! Because a freshman year without late night dining in Commons, free trips to New York City and NSOver Again would be, well, just like most other Penn class' experiences. Be the change! Vote now until 5 p.m. here.


Class Prez = Celeb Status

(09/26/11 3:45pm)

A clear sign of having made it is when someone exploits your fame in the form of a fake Twitter account. Well, it looks like Senior Class President Jibran Khan is really going places, considering the creation of @jibronikalzoni, a true insider's perspective as to what probably isn't going on in JK's head. This is, like, so relevant to everyone in the entire Twitterverse because now everybody who was ever wondering what it must be like to be the University of Pennsylvania Senior Class President (enticing!) can rejoice in the opportunity to follow his alter-Tweetgo.


"Space Available" Sign at Cream & Sugar Shocks No One

(09/21/11 6:37pm)

In a sad turn of events for Spruce dwelling crack caffeine addicts, it appears that coffee shop Cream & Sugar has closed down (quite contrary to the "We'll Be Returning In November!" assurance on their website). The prime real estate on 40th and Spruce is available for any business looking to cozy up between Nara and University Pinball as a nice intermediary between sake and Skee-Ball, meaning it's gotta be something classy. Stay tuned for updates!




Campus Food Gets Its Freak On

(09/16/11 6:59pm)

Campus Food, please keep it in your pants. While subtle innuendos can sometimes go a long (hehe!) way, this graphic headline certainly doesn't leave much to the mind - yes, that is a picture of a weiner (hehe!), uh, goin' for it. Congrats, Campus Food, you have officially employed the same marketing tactics as all of the student organizations that make us feel really uncomfortable when they're shouting things on Locust.


Books, Books, All Types of Books

(09/09/11 1:12pm)

Calling all bookworms! The Kelly Writers House (3805 Locust Walk for you freshmen folk) just announced that it will be holding an open house today at 2pm. The afternoon will be complete with poem-making stations (for the aspiring artist), t-shirt "embellishing" (for those who wish they were still in preschool), ice cream (for those who attend these events only for the free food) and a supposedly MASSIVE book sale.
