In Which We Imagine A Conversation Between The College Green Tightrope Dudes

downsized_0211091643a

Spring-like weather means chilling on College Green, which we love, and ridiculous stunts, which we love even more. But not all Green shenanigans are fraternally motivated! Herewith, an ode to the tightrope guys.

The scene: A common room in Stouffer College House, 10 p.m. on a night during a wave of unseasonably warm temperatures.

Guy 1: Dude, the weather report said it's gonna be like 60 tomorrow. You know what that means.

Guy 2: Fuck yeah, time to bust out the tight rope!

Guy 1: There better not be any fucking UA candidates' banners hanging between the trees we use. Douchebags.

Guy 2: Wait, didn't you lose the tightrope when you used it as collateral in that poker game?

Guy 1: No, that was my Second Life tightrope, not my real tightrope.

Guy 2: Sweet. I can't wait to wobble around like an idiot in front of everyone.
