Frisbee
At  first blush, the humble Frisbee conjures up images of hippies tossing it around while waiting for someone to find the Hacky Sack. Or maybe a group of pie-eyed men trying to avoid spilling their beer while going for a birdie in a spirited game of disc golf. This site celebrates the plastic disc beyond those perceptions, elevating it into an object of art that should be appreciated for its staying power and range of imagery. With over 100 Frisbees on display here, it's apparent the plastic plate has long outgrown its roots as a late '50s fad. The site features Frisbees emblazoned with the faces of presidents, kings, and droids. Many of the discs on display celebrate Ultimate Frisbee, a "sport" that took the plain platter beyond mere child's play to international competition. After visiting this high-flying site, you'll be hard-pressed to identify the Frisbee with anything but good times. (in Sports) |
