Mickey Cahoon’s Headdress Grows More Elaborate with Each Win

If you have regularly attended varsity volleyball games at Clark this year, you may have noticed the transformation occurring on the sidelines as the Cougars’ amazing season has progressed. This of course is alluding to Head Coach Mickey Cahoon’s headdress, which has grown more elaborate with each win.

As a man known for being extremely expressive in his attire, this change makes sense. Cahoon’s team has now won 17 of its 21 games this season, and the confidence he has gained with each successive win can be seen with the development of his massive headdress.

The Freudian Slip has paid close attention to the progression of Cahoon’s extravagance this season, from the fruit basket balanced on his head after the first win, to the Pope’s Mitre two weeks ago. According to an online poll put out by the athletic department, the most popular of Mickey Cahoon’s headdresses among fans this season was the working water fountain he wore on his head after the team’s 12 game win streak.

This is only one aspect of the coach’s ostentatious behavior, and multiple complaints of unsportsmanlike conduct have led to an official release from the NEWMAC Conference warning that, when the playoffs start, any team whose coach does a backflip after every kill will be disqualified.

No matter the consequences that may come in the future, Mickey Cahoon’s flamboyant coaching style has helped turn the Clark Cougars into one of the best teams in the division, and here at The Freudian Slip we are hoping that maybe after the next game he will be wearing one of those huge Spartan warrior helmets with the huge plume of feathers in the middle, or something like that.

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.."
