LIES! THE frisbee was invented by a woman who threw a plate at her deadbeat husband’s head. Everyone know s that.
Today, (in my township) they're banned on public school property. Just ridiculous, but fun while it lasted.
Quite possibly. My mother once did that to my father who was drunk, so who knows?
I’m not sure who has more fun, the dogs, or me watching them. They seem to be in their absolute glory.
Something that gets kids away from a screen, gives them exercise, and enjoyment with friends banned. Insane.
After my first good toss of a frisbee I never went back to coffee can lids.
My older son plays ultimate frisbee at a competitive level. They have tournaments with some out of state. We went to some games to watch, it looks like so much fun. And pretty intense
One of the best MASH episodes where klinger almost “invents” the hula hoop and at the end there is a frisbee moment😂

Marty McFly invented the Frisbee in Back To The Future III when he launched a Frisbee pie plate at Mad Dog Tannen’s head.
We live across the street from a park that has frisbee golf stations set up. It seems that there is always someone there throwing frisbees to the various baskets set up to catch them. I had no idea it was such a popular sport.
After the Professor was rescued from Gilligan’s Island, he invented a flying disc toy, only to learn something like that had already been invented and marketed as a “frisbee.”
