Some Picasso à la pickaxe left this gem outside of one Beige Block house. That Native American sculpture? That’s some pretty impressive ish! Wanna do a broken button for us next time?

We love caption contests. We also (secretly) love Whartonites. Caption contests and Whartonites together? That’s GOLDman Sachs, baby. We present to you UTB’s official photo recap of Winter Whartonland 2011, a gingerbread-house decorating, snowflake-snogging study break that went down last Thursday in Huntsman’s Baker Forum. Check out all photos (with captions!) after the jump, plus one without a caption we want YOU to make up for us.

What's missing from both this picture and Philly? Football.

Add this to reasons we love the Penn alum, professor, and all-around badass outgoing governor of Pennsylvania. The NFL postponed Sunday night’s Eagles game due to the snowstorm no one will shut up about, so the gov had some choice words:

“We’ve become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything. If this was in China, do you think the Chinese would have called off the game?”
