#2 Ain't Bad, #1 Is

The WashPo gives some neighborly advice on Breaking Out the Backyard Fun for the 4th; by Desmond Bieler (June 30, 2008):
You don't need us to tell you ... this time of year is meant for ... playing around in someone's big ol' back yard. You probably don't even need us to tell you our picks for favorite backyard sports, but here they are anyway:

#5 - Football Toss
#4 - Horseshoes
#3 - Wiffleball
#1 - Badminton?!

#2 - Frisb ... er, Flying Disc!

Oh, who are we trying to kid? The only people who insist on calling it flying disc work for rivals of Wham-O, and even they probably say things like, "Hey, can you Xerox this for me?" We're going with Frisbee, but whatever you call it, tossing one around is the classic casual sport. An added bonus is that if plates at the barbecue run short, you can just flip a Frisbee over, put a napkin on it and -- voila! -- a handy receptacle for that fourth helping of potato salad.
