When we posted about Dwinelle Hall’s cryptic “Who is Barazani?” flyers earlier, and compared their presumed subject to Eddie Haskell and made other sundry sassy comments, we were actually kind of jumping the snarky gun. OK, really jumping the snarky gun.

It turns out that “Barazani” was referring to Moshe Barazani, who, from the looks of things, is considered a Zionist martyr. (Thanks, Googler.) Whoops. According to Gabe Weiner of the Israel Peace Initiative, the flyers were posted to generate interest in Israel Liberation Week, which, incidentally, started today.

Anyway, we certainly didn’t mean to disrespect anyone’s revered heroes by likening them to a scheming young brown-noser. Our apologies for that one. In our defense, though, we were right about at least one thing. When we walked into Dwinelle today, lo and behold, all was revealed on another set of flyers.

Who is Barazani?

We have no idea, but we’d bet our left nut we’re going to find out in due time. And that whoever Barazani is, he/she/it is probably not as worthy of speculation as this flyer seems to imply. There were a bunch of these hung up on bulletin boards in Dwinelle Hall. Has anyone seen them anywhere else? Anyone actually know what they’re advertising? All we know right now is this middle school-ish creeper’s piercingly sardonic gaze and perfectly-groomed eyebrows will be haunting our dreams for at least a week.

They would tell you how beautiful and gorgeous you all are. No seriously. Just venture into the women’s restroom of Dwinelle Hall and you’ll see what we’re talking about.

We don’t know what it is about having to sit down to pee, but something about it makes women feel like they need to let it all out. Stories of rape, love, support and anger color the walls. Even toilet paper dispensers become someone’s personal tablet.

Are the messages scrawled in the restrooms meaningful? Or are they remnants of a high school pastime, the last mark of teenage years?

Some are serious, garnering responses from other visitors and creating a sort of restroom community.

It’s different from high school, though. There aren’t insults or insinuations that so-and-so is a whore. No, most of the scribblings reflect on love. And vibrators.

But which one is our favorite? That’s easy.

Freshman is sucks indeed.

Browse the thumbnails to see what the ladies are talking about.
