Bad Glacier

Columbia is off to a strong start in the “who can send me more stuff” contest. Well, maybe “contest” isn’t the right word. The winner won’t get a prize or anything (unless you count my insinuations that my application fee would have been better spent recruiting a few happy-looking people to pose for the view book). Anyways, I got a binder (Priority Mail!) with the usual information and I’m told to expect “a box of material about Columbia Law School’s intellectual life, student body, faculty, alumni, academic programs, and curricular offerings.” Hot damn. I can’t wait to get started on the “course offerings” law school comparison spreadsheet. (You think I’m kidding… I mostly am.)

Flipping through the “Student Organizations” section, I noticed that Columbia has two wine clubs, De Vinimus and the Grand Cru Wine & Champagne Society. That seems a little overboard to me. What can two wine clubs do that a single (larger and better funded) club can’t? Maybe Grand Cru is the “cool” group, and they sabotage the De Vinimus nerds’ tastings by swapping in bottles of vintage Boone’s Farm. That would be cool. Wine society guerrilla warfare.

Apologies to people who actually like wine and think membership in multiple wine societies is a required part of an attorney’s professional training. I don’t really like wine, so I find wine connoisseurs vaguely amusing.

Now, if there was a Beer and Video Games Society, I’d be all over that (Only if they offered a porter and a good Dortmunder, of course. Ha!).
