Pantydisc

Mr. Headrick is rolling in his grave...

Step 1 - Cut the legs of the pantyhose off of the feet & panty.
Step 2 - Put the legs portion onto your legs and roll down to form a tight disk.
Step 3 - You will have six tight coils when you are finished.
Step 4 - Cut 5 strips measuring 5" by 1/2" out of the feet or panty of the hose.
Step 5 - Tie the six disks together to form a ring (see image). You can decorate your frisbee with the permanent markers at this point.
Step 6 - Throw it just like a normal(?) plastic frisbee.

Things You’ll Need (if you can't find a normal plastic disc in your closet, car, briefcase, fridge, basement):
> 3 pair of pantyhose, stockings or tights.
> Permanent marker(s)
> Scissors

4 Tips for a Greener Game of Frisbee

Tossing the Frisbee around is one of the great idyllic green pastimes - picturing people playing Frisbee almost instinctively conjures up a scene filled with parks, hippies, and picnic tables. But those days are long since passed—now Frisbees are happily and un-ironically tossed on college campuses, Ultimate Frisbee games are arranged, disc golf courses are popping up all over, and it's a perfectly respectable way to pass an afternoon at the beach or at a park.

But just because the hippies' era has passed doesn't mean we can forget about being earth-friendly when we play. So here are some quick tips to green that round of Frisbee:
1 - First, get a green disc—like one of these Frisbees that are made from recycled retail materials, or these Frisbees made with 60% post consumer recycled plastic.
For disc golf, check out the Reflyer, a disc specially made recycled material (also post consumer recycled plastic).
2 - Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during your game- not wasteful, disposable bottled water.
3 - Carpool to the park or better yet, bike or walk.

Enjoy the game - it's classic green.
