Tom Quigley, an avid naysayer and First Year here at Clark, heard of the popular Elephant Thursday in the beginning few weeks of the fall semester. After several months of getting up the nerve, he founded Donkey Tuesday, to level the playing field.

“First of all, everyone knows that the elephant is the official symbolic beast of the Republican Party. More importantly, gray is the official secondary color of said party. I just want to bring equality to this campus.” Quigley states that everyone wearing eggshell white on Tuesdays will receive a small playdough statue of an ass. Yes, that kind of ass.

“Everyone knows eggshell white is the official secondary color of the Democratic Party.” Quigley stated with much importance. “I personally am an anarchist, but this only seems fair.”

A representative from the Elephant Thursday office commented on the subject, “I don’t really care, but eggshell white?”

Quigley is even starting a Political-Representation-through-Animals-and-Colors Club. He is only forty nine signatures away from his quota. Later this month, Quigley says he plans on creating another event where people wearing pink each Wednesday can show their support for the Green Party

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
