Re: The entire current rules for Ultimate Frisbee are built on top of a lie and a misguided assumption



1) Jonestown??? It's Flavor Aid you dumbass. Please get your cult
facts straight.

This, from Wiki:
The idiomatic expression, "drinking the Kool-Aid", was originally a
reference to the Merry Pranksters, a group of people associated with
novelist Ken Kesey who, in the early 1960s, travelled around the United
States and held events called "Acid Tests", where LSD-laced Kool-Aid was
passed out to the public (LSD was legal at that time). Those who drank the
"Kool-Aid" passed the "Acid Test". "Drinking the Kool-Aid" in that context
meant accepting the LSD drug culture, and the Pranksters' "turned on" point
of view. These events were described in Tom Wolfe's 1968 classic, The
Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.[4]
It is also now closely associated with the 1978 cult suicide in Jonestown,
Guyana. Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple, convinced his followers
to move to Jonestown. Late in the year, he then ordered his flock to commit
suicide by drinking grape-flavored Flavor Aid laced with potassium cyanide.
In what is now commonly called the "Jonestown Massacre," a large majority of
the 913 people later found dead drank the brew. (The discrepancy between the
idiom and the actual occurrence is likely due to Flavor Aid's relative
obscurity, compared to the easily recognizable Kool-Aid.) The precise
expression can be attested in usage at least as early as 1987[4]. One
lasting legacy of the Jonestown tragedy is the saying, "Don't drink the
Kool-Aid." This has come to mean, "Don't trust any group you find to be a
little on the kooky side," or "Whatever they tell you, don't believe it too
strongly."[5]


2) Prior to being called Kool-Aid (note the hypen!) it was called
Fruit Smack, which I would definitely drink and/or snort.
good knowledge
3) I'd prefer to lie to myself, instead of having you lie to myself.
or even me lie next to you.
This is the only way to ensure the lies will be original.

Frank, remember the time when you spammed the entire world of
ultimate, got onto hundreds(?) of email lists, all for the soul
purpose of getting attention? I think that was great!

That was my dear friend Bobby Bondurant. He's still on thousands of email
lists and was thinking about spamming a "Vote for Frank" campaign but I've
asked him not to.

As for attention for myself, you've got me all wrong. Seriously, you do.

Attention for Dischoops, sure. Attention for me? Nah.

(good ol frank...)
