Enjoy spring weather with wacky Frisbee fun

By Gus Bode

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
