Enjoy spring weather with wacky Frisbee fun
April 1, 1998
With strange warm days upon us, many a student will
undoubtedly choose to spend some time outside enjoying the
weather. Experts at leisure, the typical collegiate individual has a

firm grasp on a wide variety of outdoor-type activities. Perhaps the
most popular outdoor activity, not counting snipe hunting, is Frisbee
Frisbee is especially suited for the laid back atmosphere of
college life, as the rules are quite simple. Throw Catch Throw Catch Throw Curse Find a ladder. No rule books here, just pure
However, this pure fun can become purely repetitive if care is
not taken to become creative while playing the sport. After years of
playing Frisbee, my associates and I have developed a sizable array

of unique and remarkably entertaining Frisbee games. Read through
and pick one best suited for you.
1. Smack-a-can:Kind of like a shooting game, replacing the
bullet with the Frisbee and beer can with a target. Place the can,
preferably empty, onto an object. Try to smack if off the object with
a Frisbee. Simple, yet intriguingly addictive. For added challenge,
tape the can to a frisky pet or a slumbering roommate.
2. Nut Sack:An indoor Frisbee game, especially suited for
being played in the upstairs of Lewis Park Apartments. Three
participants. One in a bedroom, another in a horizontally adjacent
bedroom, and the third in the middle. The two bedroom players
attempt to throw the Frisbee to each other while the third person,
the Nut Sack, tries to block the throw. Very fun, very painful, very
3. You’re-a-jackass:In this game, the jackass, (you), tries to
throw the Frisbee in such a manner that the unsuspecting partner
steps into a puddle of water, runs into a tree or wall, or trips
over a rope while attempting to catch the Frisbee. A, fun, short, great
way to end a game or friendship.
4. Oooops!:Great game to play if you’re fairly swift footed.
Pretend to be playing Frisbee, then accidentally’ throw the Frisbee
through the window of a shiny silver Camaro. Make sure no one is in
5. I’m-a-jackass:In this game, the jackass, (you), tries to
attract a pretty member of the opposite sex by jumping, dashing and
making bizarre attempts to catch the Frisbee. Incidentally, it never
works, unless they happen to be into uncoordinated mega-dorks, like
my sweet and pretty girlfriend Lisa.
6. Pitiful:A great deal like football Frisbee, only it must be
played by remorsefully out-of-shape buffoons. The rules are similar
to Football Frisbee, except that the quarter back doesn’t necessarily
have to throw to a member of his own team if said member falls
down, gasping for breath. Also, the defense can switch to offense
after the five-beer Switcharoo, and if the Frisbee goes into the woods
someone with red hair has to go get it.
In conclusion, none of these Frisbee-styled games should be
played by anyone who experiences momentary bouts of dignity, or is
concerned with the manner in which he presents himself to
