Bunny Slipper Relay

OriginWinter Camp XXIV (2000)
The StoryIn the movie Top Secret, the dean is summoned to observe a crime in the early morning hours. He arrives wearing bunny slippers and the lead compliments him on his excellent taste in footwear. This inspired a bit in Paradox Metaphor where John Howey runs into the building in bunny slippers. For whatever reason, Kristie Donohue said she'd pay money to see the Winter Campers in bunny slippers.

Steve Donohue, always eager for a new calendar topic in those days, decided to procure some slippers and get campers to pose in them at the planning meeting. Since the Donohues were only dating then, Kristie had no idea what he was doing.

The slippers led to the idea of the Bunny Slipper relay where campers participated in a number of events while wearing the slippers. They were in teams and as each one completed an event, they gave the slippers to their partners. The events were fairly wacky and there was some complaining about unfair rules. In the end, the fun-loving nature of the slippers won out and the winners were Keith King and Andy Whaley, the two participants who had whined the least about rules.

VeracityTrue.
