Hey, you sneaky, maple-snarfing Canucks!

How long have you been hiding the delicious secret of Old Dutch Popcorn Twists from us yankees? Concealing such delicacies is an act of war, I say!

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.

    Locking the last [chat] interrupted another frisbee post I wanted to make! I am enraged. So I shall cross-contaminate this thread with it:

    We got to play zone against a team last night since it was super windy and they only had like 1 1/2 handlers. It was pretty exciting considering the experience level of most of our team, but it actually worked pretty well except for when we put this kid with a good wingspan and decent ups at mid-mid because aside from those assets he had no idea what he was doing. I was at left wing and I glanced over my shoulder and I was like ... "[/i]holy shit why can't I see my middle?[/i]"

    Zones are for people who can't bbcode.

    But seriously beyond that I can't believe that Ultimate isn't like a permanent zone. People really man-to-man in that game?

    Oh yeah. It depends a lot on skill level and wind and how close you are to the goal line. Actually switching between man and zone on different points can confuse the hell out of another team too, which is fun.

    Has nobody coached up a hybrid system yet? Or a sweeper system? But whatever I don't play the game, obviously, but man seems like you'd get took by any team that had somebody that could move on it. I mean just get a Randy Moss type player out on the field and throw it to them all you want.

    Well, he has Wikipedia on his side:
    Smarties are not distributed in the United States, where another type of confectionery uses the "Smarties" name, except by specialist importers.

    Also:
    In the UK, an average of 307 tubes are consumed every minute.
    Holy crap!

    That sounds like something I used to eat when I lived on the east coast. It was like they popped the corn but with no husk so it was really large compared to an average popped kernel. Of course, I'm sure it's made from foam and crude oil. But I'll be damned if I didn't love them. They easily took 15 years off my life.

    I will now Google to see if these Popcorn Twists you speak of are the same as my stuff.

    You know, I actually got Smarties mixed up with something else. I can't remember the name. They're spherical, though, instead of M&M shaped, but they come in the same type of packaging. They're divine.

    I don't know what the other two systems you mentioned are like, so I dunno. But if you've got a strong handler who can huck the disc deep and a fast freak who can beat your deep to the frisbee, you're screwed anyway - zone doesn't do a damn thing if they can hammer over your cup's heads, for example. And if they know how to split the deep ... you have got the troubles. In a case like that with man defense, I might pull one defender from a weak player and just leave them poached, and have the two defenders covering the fast guy so that whichever way he cuts there's somewhere there to beat him to the frisbee.
