It appears that the student-athletes at Middlebury College, driven mad in the wilderness of rural Vermont, have remedied their lack of things to do by turning to their old Harry Potter obsessions. Middlebury’s Quidditch team, straight-facedly described by some sources as “the best in the nation,” put on an exhibition at Penn, traveling to Princeton the next day. Middlebury’s Panthers destroyed the Princeton Tigers, winning two matches by scores of 100-0 and 160-90.
UPDATE: A story on the the Middlebury at Princeton matches will be on CBS’ Early Show tomorrow morning.

Where Break Out The Oreos has fun with some of the recent headlines coming out of the Ancient Eight. Of course, this being Spring Break and all, “recent” gives us about a three week grace period. Bear with us. Oh, and Yale gets brownie points for giving BOTO twice the material to work with.
Seven Brown students were arrested this week at an anti-war rally in Providence. A whopping “more than twenty people” were present at the rally, which apparently succeeded only in demonstrating that Columbia students aren’t the only ones who stage self-defeating and inconsequential protests.

So I’m just going to jump right into it:
In a multi-faceted effort to provide my family and friends with a quasi-regular update on the happenings here at Columbia as well as provide myself with an outlet with which to write and be read, I’ve started this weblog (link provided for the unenlightened), ambiguously titled Break Out The Oreos (we’ll get to that later). It will hopefully develop its own tone and theme as time goes on, but for now it’s pretty much just me honing my writing skills and hopefully entertaining you.
