Ringer at the Ultimate Tourney

Yet another dog and frisbee comic. "The Tourney" shows 2 teams huddling during an outdoor  5v5 ultimate tournament. The orange team looks over at the blue team and notices a bi-ped dog wearing a headband.

"Shoot - they brought a ringer"

[Rhymes with Orange]

"Goose" is a Goose

Via Five Ultimate's Trusted New Source....

...Goose moved to lay out for a hammer, but flew just a bit too close to his defender. In the tumble to the turf, Helton's human mask was knocked clean off.

No word yet on whether the AUDL will move to disallow birds from the league. At the time of writing, the league's rules about enormous animals playing as humans are still unclear.

Well, this rumor news makes this play more logical from "Jonathan" Goose Helton:

Beary Impressive Catch

Consider adding Kodiak bears to the conversation of ultimate beasts. Marvel at this effortless one-handed pawed catch...

Wildwood 2014

[SOURCE]

"The World's Biggest Beach Ultimate Tournament" starts today in Wildwood, New Jersey. There are a total of 510 teams playing in the 2/2 beer, 3/1 beer, and 3/1 open divisions. "Just for fun, still competitive, just not hard core" perfectly describes the tournament's vibe, not just the Beer Division.

According to the website, the Wildwood Ultimate Beach Tourney has been bestowed recognition by Discraft with a "Transcendent Tournament Award." Anyone who has ever attended WW can attest to the above and beyond experience at this gathering. Remember the sunscreen!

NICE CAT-ch

The telecom company O2 TU Go tosses a Frisbee in their recent advertising. Yes, that's a cat catching the disc! A CAT!

Hmmm, this feline shows promise in a bid for the starting 7 species.

Best of the Ultimate Beasts

Humans sure are doing a superb job of playing Ultimate. But, which animals (can you imagine?) would excel at Ultimate?  Whether planning for the future inter-species Ultimate game, or applying it as a metaphor for player recruitment, use your human brain to dream up your starting seven species.

Jimmy Leppert of Skyd recently provided insight on his starting 7 non-humans.

I compiled visuals based on answers by Leppert & Pranksters (below):

Leppert's starting 7: receivers = dolphin, cheetah; defense = dog, bluefin tuna;
handlers = orangutan, bear; captain = lion.

Middlebury Pranksters' starting 7: golden eagle, bluefin tuna, blue whale, giraffe, black mamba, cheetah, boa constrictor

My starting 7: receivers = dog (border collie), giraffe; defense = octopus, falcon; handlers = chimpanzee, kangaroo; captain = tiger.

Closeted Frisbees

Man: Where did all these Frisbees come from?
Dog: Dogs in the park that were tooo slowww...

Then...

And then...

Oh My Dog!

A dog should know better, but it's an honest mistake.

"That's not the Frisbee I tossed for you."

Now, this dog - with Ultimate Rob - really has a nose for the disc. And, a Guinness World Record for Distance to Canine Catch - 134 yards!

Huck Proverb

If it looks like a huck, flies like a huck, spins like a huck and sounds like a huck, it's a HUCK.

Dogs are known to enjoy the Frisbee.

Fetching

Elijah: What kind of dog are you? [Throws disc]

Wilfred [after amazing catch]: You said beer & frisbees. We're done with frisbees. Let's go grab that beer, eh?

A Dog Teeth Dog World

If/when true, then would deffo be human's best friend...

"He (the dog) has sensitive teeth..."

Beanie There, Done (with) That

Old Ha-Ha: I took my dog for a walk and played Frisbee with him, but he was useless. I really need to get a flatter dog.
