This weekend, a varsity baseball player was burdened with the task of wiping down the leg press after a student failed to do so. The athlete was heard whispering to himself, “my delts are too sore for this shit.”

The student was in the middle of his daily, full-body workout when it was abruptly interrupted by foreign perspiration. The athlete, who identified himself as Fabio, said, “It is incredibly important to me that my breaks between sets are exactly 45 seconds long, but now my break was lengthened to 92 seconds long.” Fabio worries that this setback will hinder him in the upcoming season.

“Coach always told me to give it 110 percent,” stated Fabio. “Now that I wasted an extra 47 seconds, I’m definitely giving only 108 percent, at most.” Head Baseball Coach Jason Falcon stated that these distractions are unacceptable and detrimental to the University’s reputation. “Clark and its entire student body are unbelievably proud of their athletic program. However, despite what some may think, we have a lot of room for improvement.”

Falcon believes that if we eliminate this problem, which he calls “Persperate-gate,” baseball and all other teams would only lose a quarter of its games. When asked to disclose what the current win-loss ratio was, Falcon declined to comment.

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.."
