What is it about a Frisbee? Do these magical pieces of plastic hold super powers? After books like, Its Not About The Bike by Lance Armstrong I had given up on the magical power of inanimate objects and their ability to transform everyday man in to a top level athlete, but then I witnessed Ultimate Frisbee or "ultimate" as the nerds call it. What is it about a 25 cent piece of plastic that can turn the most hardcore of nerds into a top level athlete (in no way am i implying that ultimate Frisbee is a sport, that's a different can of worms) or give a pot-smoking, patchouli stinking hippie meaning in life. I am at a loss for words, when did the Frisbee make the jump from the favorite beach toy of speedo clad tourists to an object of worship for the every day nerd. Did you know that in the Silicone Valley each computer programing company has their own Ultimate Frisbee team and they have a league they compete in, wow whats next a calculator tetris league or who can get winded the fastest going up the stairs league. So guys leave the Frisbees to the guy with the dog that performs at NBA half time shows.
