In a recent interview with the Freudian Slip’s Sports Correspondence Team, Trish Cronin revealed some of the emails that students regularly send her in regards to Clark’s athletics programs. Referring to these questions as her “FAQs”, Cronin graciously shared them and some of her answers with the team. The answers are all given by Trish Cronin, word for word.

Question 1: Does Clark have any Sports teams?

A: Yes, we have many sports teams and they compete in many events.

Question 2: Does vaping count as a water sport?

A: This is a tricky question. Although most people who vape don’t expend too much energy in puffing fat clouds, the shapes that they blow can most certainly be seen as an art form, much like Olympic ribbon twirling, or synchronized swimming. So in the artistic case, I would say it is a sport. Athletically I would lean more to the side of hobby, but it can still leave you out of breath.

Question 3: Do bongs count as water sports?

A: I don’t really understand why I keep getting asked about illegal activities, but just because something involves water or water vapor doesn’t mean that it’s automatically a water sport.

Question 4: Why am I always out of breath after climbing the staircase in Jonas Clark?

A: It could be that you need to do more cardio, or maybe not be a coward.

Question 5: Whenever people throw their Frisbees on the Green I nearly die by getting hit. How can I protect myself?

A: The Green can be very dangerous in the spring, so this is a very understandable concern.

I would recommend visiting the Green in a full suit of armor. This may be uncomfortable on hot days, but unfortunately it is a necessary precaution if you want to avoid certain death by spiraling disks of plastic.

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.."
