so. i've long wondered, these past 5ish years since i found out about its existence, what was so fantastic about ultimate frisbee. i have many friends who seriously LOVE ULTIMATE and i just don't get it. wikipedia has a huge entry on it, you can learn the rules and the history there, and i think it kind of hints to the ginormous following that ultimate has. but i have resisted the trend. my high school kids play ultimate all the time, and i remember having friends in college who played, and of course there were people in americoprs who played (right?) but i may have to start playing when i go to seminary. or probably before i go so that i can have some stamina built up. see there's a quad on the campus and every day there's either a soccer game or an ultimate game. and then in the spring they have an ultimiate competiton, with seminaries from different states (GA, PA, NJ, VA) all coming together to play. pretty insane. i bring all this up because today i got a letter from the president of my seminary welcoming me to the school and i got a frisbee in the mail with the competition logo on it. fun fun fun.
oh and on saturday i got my official admission letter AND my scholarship letter. 100% tuition!!! so i just need to get $$ to pay for room, board, books and health insurance :O)

To answer your question:
People who can't play soccer play 'ultimate'.
You're welcome.
that's kinda what i thought. or who can't play sports in general. plus there's 'disc golf'. remember, mel was totally into it. i mean, i don't know. it's like sports for people who don't play sports.
man, you two beat me out on both of my witty answers for "ultimate!" i hate you both!
i can't wait to see you guys. happy sigh
