I really want to like these guys. I'm trying, but only the Neko Case songs are getting through.
I played ultimate frisbee with some of my friends last night. Despite some pretty despicable and unsportsmanlike conduct from our opponents my team won 10 to 8. So here is why my team won Ultimate Frisbee last night:
1. We didn't yell at each other in angry or spiteful or sarcastic ways, and if we did it was done tastefully, in Scottish accents.
2. We played defense. It seemed that the other team was so afraid of not catching the frisbee while on D they didn't bother to try. There were a lot of turnovers by both teams, but our team definately lead in interceptions.
3. Hey Matt Buchheit! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*
4. We passed frequently and in a timely manner.
We played "No-Slap" Frisbee last night.In No-slap, if the frisbee is not caught, whichever team touched it last goes on defense. In "Slap" frisbee, if the frisbee touches the ground, possession changes. So you can slap the frisbee out of the air, in lieu of catching it, to get possession. The differences in play between the two variations of Ultimate frisbee are subtle. The biggest difference between slap and no-slap is this; In no slap you don't have to guard the passer. In fact guarding the passer is dangerous, cause they could just pop you in the face with the frisbee, and retain possession. I think it's more challenging than slap.
Hey I worked an 8 hour day at work today. Actually, nine and a half, but who's counting.
