Raccoon Families Living at the Dolan Request More Night Games

The Clark University Athletic Department received a petition last Thursday requesting the addition of more night games to the current athletic schedule. This petition was reportedly signed by 45 of the raccoons living at the Dolan.

The exact details of the petition have yet to be released, but The Freudian Slip has been able to reach many of the raccoon families living at the Dolan for comment on the subject. “All we want is more things to do at night with the cubs,” stated Tom Donovan, a father of three, “We wake up each day at sunset, and by then we have missed all of the fun things that goes on during the day at the Dolan!”

The common consensus among the raccoon families appeared to be that there are not enough things going on at the Dolan at night. “I can only imagine what the Dolan must be like during the day,” Meghan Butler’s oldest cub told The Freudian Slip, “I bet each game has like a carnival or something to go with it. I really wish we raccoons could have as much fun here as humans.”

The raccoon families living at the Dolan have theorized dozens of events that they have missed out on. An elderly raccoon grandmother told The Freudian Slip the story of how she missed Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during the halftime show of Clark’s Championship Soccer Game in 2004 because it was during the day.

“Look at all of these expensive lights here on the turf!” exclaimed one of the many raccoons that live at the Dolan, “We could easily have just as much fun at night as during the day!”

The Freudian Slip just didn’t have the heart to break it to them.

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.."
