Because the creator of wonderful and simple toy passed away today...

Go out and honor him!

 

I suppose that is a good enough reason as any.

Mr. Frisbee?:confused:

What?!? He died just now?

What the heck is he wearing? :freak:

A space-suit?:rolleyes:

A space-suit?:rolleyes:

 

Sure, that's what they did in those days. Quite fashionable :laugh3:

Aww did he really? :(

 

I :heart: Frisbee and Ultimate

He has a nice outfit, but I can't honour it as I have no frisbee.

Guy looks like a pedo.

U.S. entrepreneur who invented the 'Pluto Platter' (that's a Frisbee to you) dies aged 90

Fredrick Morrison, the man credited with inventing the Frisbee, has died at the age of 90.

Mr Morrison died at his home in Utah on Tuesday, Utah House Representative Kay McIff said.

'That simple little toy has permeated every continent in every country, as many homes have Frisbees as any other device ever invented,' McIff, a lawyer who represented Mr Morrison in a royalties case, said.

'How would you get through your youth without learning to throw a Frisbee?'

Mr Morrison's son, Walt, said yesterday that 'old age caught up' with his father and that he also had cancer.

'He was a nice guy. He helped a lot of people,' Walt Morrison said. 'He was an entrepreneur. He was always looking for something to do.'

Mr Morrison sold the production and manufacturing rights to his 'Pluto Platter' in 1957.

 

The plastic flying disc was later renamed the Frisbee, with sales surpassing 200million discs.

It is now a staple at beaches, backyards and at U.S. colleges, and spawned sports like Frisbee golf and the team sport Ultimate.

A disc golf course at Creekside Park in Salt Lake City is named after Mr Morrison.

Mr Morrison co-wrote a book with Frisbee enthusiast and historian Phil Kennedy in 2001. Mr Kennedy released a brief statement on Thursday, wishing his late friend 'smoooooth flights'.

According to Mr Kennedy, Mr Morrison and his future wife, Lu, used to toss a tin cake pan on the beach in California.

 

The idea grew as Mr Morrison considered ways to make the cake pans fly better and after serving as a pilot in World War II, Morrison began manufacturing his flying discs in 1948.

He would sell the discs at local fairs and eventually attracted Wham-O Manufacturing, the company that bought the rights to the invention and changed the name.

Mr Kennedy said Wham-O adopted the name Frisbee because that's what college students in New England were calling the Pluto Platters. The name came from the Frisbie Pie Co., a local bakery whose empty tins were tossed like the soon-to-be Frisbee.

At the moment a freezebee would be more appropriate!:rolleyes:

Why the fuck did the Daily Mail deem it appropriate to have that picture? So their readership could sneak a wank in?

:rolleyes:

What's a freezbee as well, are they some new thing?

 

Mark I mentioned this in a thread, but you wont have read it.

 

One of your puns was told on MY FRIENDS TIGGER AND POOH, which if you are not aware, it is a show aimed at 2-3 year olds, your wittiness is at toddler level.
