The now-firmly-annual Gustavus Classics vs. Philosophy Kickball Match is ON!
The classicists have flung down an idle taunt about us having cavities (which we note they’ve misspelled).
But in response, we say to them: numbers don’t lie. Three years; three wins.
When “is it on?!”
Wednesday at, I believe, 4 p.m. on the South Mall. We were challenged.
alea iacta est! And this time we hope to roll a six!
Nostra autem septem cubi omnibus partibus.
Roughly speaking, of course.
Cave Ides Maii (+ tres diei) O Philosophi!
This time, some Philosophy majors should show up! So we don’t have to give you our best players just so you have a shot (and then beat us <_<)
Hey, I just thought of something: do you suppose this event has become a philosophical classic? (Heh, heh, heh.)
Woah woah nick, first of all, no one from the classic department came to our team, we recruited one passerby!!
Secondly, someone should ensure that first aid is provided, especially for Sean just in case he decides to open his elbow up again….
Thirdly, remember this always: QUALITY over quantity….enough said.
So sei est!
Last year Lance and I both scored more points individually than the entire classics team. Just sayin’
And that was without the power of Chris Cannady, Emily Persons, and Drew “A-Bomb” Ajer.
FELLOW PHILOSOPHY MAJORS: Dress up like your favorite Ancient Greek philosopher and let’s do this Monty Python style!
Like Diogenes, I am a firm believer that a person’s virtue is better shown in his action than his theories. Therefore, philosophers, I hope you can back this smack talk up on Wednesday! It’s gonna be epic!
Or maybe tragic. But likely comedic.
We philosophers arrive at the conclusion that we are going to win by using both inductive and deductive reasoning. And also the Categorical Imperative.
Oh, I’ll be there. I can’t wait to wax philosophical on the Classics team.
I’d just like to point out that you can’t spell “win”
without a “W”
[…] mean? Could the Classics Department possibly be taunting the philosophers, in advance of the giant annual Philosophy/Classics Kickball Smackdown? The Smackdown that has been won, every single year by the Philosophy […]
If the philosophy department wins again this year, I will give an extra $50 to the Gustavus Fund.
Hey, Tracie, thanks for the vote of support! Earmark your donation to the philosophy department. We’re SURE you’ll be making that extra donation…. Any other alums out there want to join in?
We have a great cause you can donate to: the department would like to be able to purchase the online edition of the PHILOSOPHER’S INDEX, which is prohibitively expensive for the library.
Wish I was in the financial position to do more, but I know that every little bit helps.
hey, tracie,
can you repost these comments on the new post? we’re writing to each other in last year’s post.
