PCU, perhaps one of the finest cinematic exaggerations of college social life that this decade has seen, spends a great deal of time dicussing the importance of FRISBEEs to the collegiate extracurricular scene. Now that the weather is ripe, Harvard students can be found everywhere brandishing these flying wonders. But before you don your tie-dye and Birks a la PCU, better get the skinny on the FRISBEES that are out there.
City Sports right in Harvard Square offers a wide selection of Wham-O FRISBEE products in varying weights, diameters and colors. The All-Sport 140G ($9.99), the Freestyle 160G ($11.99), and the Ultimate 175G ($14.99) all boast that they are indeed WORLD CLASS.
What's so damn impressive about the 160G? Here's some fun and impressive facts to impress your fun and easily impressed friends: "The smooth flight plate, deep-angled rim and large diameter make the Freestyle 160G a choice of champions for maneuvers such as the nail delay, air brushing, rim work, body rolls and tipping, which are tools of advanced play."
The 175G meets worldwide standards for ultimate play. And for those who hope to make it to the frisbee golf range this weekend, don't leave home without the GOLF 150G--"A great driver, approach disc and putter for one of the most challenging of the disc sports." Unfortunately City Sport fails to carry the 150G.
In case all of these Wham-O products weren't enough, buy an Aerobie ($7.99) which is supposedly much easier to throw. "Anyone can throw the Aerobie incredibly far with amazing accuracy," assures seven time world frisbee champion Scott Zimmerman on the packaging. In fact, someone once threw the Aerobie 1257 feet--a bit far for a catch don'tch ya think? The Aerobie comes in three bitchin' neon colors, each providing a wicked flashback to the late 80s. On a lark, spoil yourself with the new Aerobie Superdisc ($10.99) with its "soft cushioned edge" and its dope "spoiler for stable flights."
Now that everyone's on a level playing field, get outside and start chillin' with your new toys. But be careful, Harvard students, when throwing your new "Astonishing Flying" machines. As the Aerobie warns, "Remember that any thrown object can cause injury." But we already knew that, yo.
