Whiffen-whos?

I don't watch "The Sing-off" (which may come as a surprise to those of you who know how much TV I actually DO watch), but a friend texted me Tuesday night that the Whiffenpoofs were on. I so heart them. They're the a cappella group from Yale who are apparently the oldest collegiate a cappella group (thank you, Google), and they are also mighty adorable.

They performed for us at a Hockaday assembly once in high school, and let's just say 14 good-looking college dudes in a room of hundreds of girls went over VERY well. They could have just sat up on stage and done absolutely nothing, and we still probably would have given them a standing ovation. All-girls schools are tough, what can I say.

They were also on an episode of "West Wing" back in the day and sang the most amazeballs rendition of O Holy Night. Of course, every time it's a different bunch of dudes - like Menudo, if you will. But they're always super cute and uber talented.

Plus you can use it in a sentence: "Whiffenpoof THIS." (That's what she said. Whatever.)

    And I thought that was the name of one of the clubs at Hogwarts!
