The Art Of War (& the Harvard-Yale Game)
Friend: “You and Patrick should roleplay the Harvard-Yale game.”
Me: “Am I a football player in this scenario or am I the football?”
True story: I once designed (but never printed) a Harvard-Yale themed t-shirt with the slogan “Fuck Yalies: Keep Your Friends Close & Your Enemies Closer”.
Sun Tzu is totally rolling in his grave, but wasn’t my idea fitting, given that the German and I come from rival institutions that take their enmity wayyy too seriously? C’mon guys, it’s like a constant battle of who wins douchiest school in America.
Anyhow, since I’m doing an event at a society at Yale tonight, I’m already in New Haven well in advance of this weekend’s Harvard-Yale football game and festivities. My Yalies (i.e. the Man and the Dog) will be joining tomorrow! I’ll be around until Sunday … about the longest I’ve ever spent on enemy territory ;)
I strongly encourage inter-campus hook-ups.
