Bum Wine Wednesday

Doesn't seem to be a widespread phenomenon; Google turns up no pages whatsoever. Sounds like a hoax. Tim Pierce 20:53, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• As the author of the bum wine article (well, stub, for the moment), I am pretty sure that the attested holiday is utter runnish. Delete with a Thunderbird chaser. BDAbramson T 21:24, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. As a current student at Willamette, I can attest that it is praticed, though in fairly low numbers.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.104.78.74 (talk • contribs)

• Comment - I think this is a very importan cultural aspect for west coast college students. This entry should be kept.

• Comment Are you guys kidding me? This is a big deal at willamette and i hear at other colleges as well. I think its ridiculous that you would limit something just because you don't partake in it. I think this would say a lot about wikipedia and what types of speech are censored. BWW recognizes those that are less fortunate. If wikipedia takes this away, it is saying "impoverished people are not worth our consideration and there is nothing that we, yuppy computer owning, internet surfing people, can relate to them on." Shame on you. 07:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment - As someone who has participated in bum wine wednesday I can firmly say that it is no hoax. Furthermore, the Wikipedia entry has increased the numbers of participants dramatically. Many of us have this page as our facebook webpages. Additionally, even if only at Willamette, it is still of cultural importance. Only two more days to BWW and you know I'll be there.

Honestly what kind of encyclopedia nazi's are these people, is this not a site to inform people on all topics all over the world. just because you dont participate in or you frown down upon something does not make it cease to exist. Maybe there is no huge cultural significance behind bum wine wednesday that shapes the greater american society, but does that mean that there is not a group of people in this world who every wednesday drink a bottle of bum wine? yeah there are, your stuck up snobbery doesn't change that. so do me a favor next time you feel important about yourself for doing some lame tradition you participate in, just realize i very easily could think your customs are a hoax. dont think for a second that just because main stream society may participate as well that it justifies your actions, hiding among a group is for cowards.
