I'm HATING the discheads or PUA egroup nowadays. IT'S ALL MOTHER-FREAKING RULES RULES RULES.

If you play the game, just read the rules and shut up already.

Recently went to a disc party and saw a whole lot of new faces. Well, that would probably mark my slow but sure "disconnect" from the community I was a pioneer of.

REALLY. I WAS.

Another end of league party for the people who play disc in Manila. And to recall a previous blog, I predict the following things will happen...

[1] A heterosexual girl gets drunk... tries to kiss some of the girls.

[2] A girl gets drunk... dances on stage from start to end.

[3] 2-3 dudes [it always has to be two to three] move around the room giving shots to anybody.

[4] Someone somewhere will always have an unintelligible drunken conversation with someone else and forget all about it the next day.

[5] People start taking off their shirts.

[6] One guy getting shit faced drunk, ends up in either a pot, a car, or a table, all alone, passed out, covered in vomit.

[7] Some people will make out and won't remember the following day... but witnesses will.

Yeah, you said it... just cut from previous party and paste to next one.

Somewhere in this pic is one of the "founding fathers" of Ultimate [frisbee] in the Philippines. Thanks D.D. Thanks for starting the sport even if it was only like five against five or less, back in the day.

Ultimate Glossary:

UNSUBCULTURED version

HUCK - when no one cuts clearly to get a pass, you have no choice but to throw the disc as far as you can

FORCE HOME - after playing 2 or 3 games, you're so tired, you can't do anything else but force yourself to haul your ass to the car and go home

FOUL - it's what a "pwned" player calls when someone has made an awesome "D" on him

CLOGGING - after finishing all your games... you try to put everything in your mouth --- yosi, beer, water, softdrinks, food, etc

AIR BOUNCE - what happens to beer bellies when the legs they are attached to run like wild on the field

STACK - a merry mix up of 6 wannabe athletes who don't know what do and run in 6 different directions

HAMMER - when you drink too much, you will be the past tense of this

HANDLER - someone who thinks he knows what he's doing

LAYOUT - means relaxing on the sidelines with a beer while watching other teams kill themselves

PICK - the act of choosing who to defend... ex. un-athletic men usually choose the least athletic opponent... while a DOM will pick the hottest chick on the team

CUT - it's what you get when you fall to the ground a lot

DEEP - [1] an emo player... one who takes the game too seriously [2] a word that describes the shit you're in... ex: when you're down 10-0 with 2 minutes to go

MID - short for midlife crisis... these players are too old to play, but still think they can run with the young guns

BACKHAND - what you see when someone flashes you a dirty finger

STALL COUNT - the magic trick of trying to count to ten in 5 seconds

STRIP [added by sandy] - what sweaty male players do after a game that you wish the women also did

Old Fart Eye for the Ultimate Guy

[Or how to survive the game we all love when you’re NOT young, fast and athletic]

The sport/game/cult of Ultimate is continually evolving in Manila. “Back in the day” it was played by a small group of expats and a few Pinoy weekend warriors who wanted to sweat and have ultimate fun on Sunday afternoons. Today, whether you like it or not, disc is more competitive – with more athletic types ruling the field. So how does a 36-year old keep up with 20-something legs in every pick up, hat tourney and league game? Read on.

ATTIRE

Of course we all know it’s wise to bring a light and dark shirt. This will keep you from going skins or shirtless - because no one wants to see a flabby tummy bouncing around when you run. It’s also wise to wear a bandana, a visor or a cap in case you are balding. And most important of all, never ever wear short shorts… unless your name is Danny and you play for Sunken Pleasure.

PREGAME

Come about 1-2 hours before start of pick up or a league game. That way you get a chance to throw, warm up, stretch and work up a bit of sweat. This is important because you may go for just 1 point and leave the rest of the afternoon to drinking beer and eating those damn cookies.

But if and when you play…

OFFENSE

Chances are, the person guarding you will be faster. So how do you outwit, outplay and outlast your defender? Simple, take him out of the play by taking yourself out. In other words, get out of the way. Let your faster teammates do the cutting and catching and just give everyone a high five when your team scores.

DEFENSE

Most likely, the person you are assigned to will be quicker than you. So when you get beat, run after him or her like hell. Only two things can happen anyway: [1] you can earn the ire of your teammates [#$^##&$*#, WHO’S ON THAT GUY/GIRL?] or [2] get a cheesy cheer like NICE TRY [now sit your butt down on the sidelines].

Also, when choosing a person to guard, always pick a guy extremely better than you. At least you have an excuse when he when he burns you. Lastly, never ever pick a woman to defend against because we all know how hard it is to chase women.

POSTGAME

Two words. Ben Gay.

EPILOGUE

I’ve been burned by 20-somethings, 30-somethings and women a lot of times. I’ve lost count of how many times the person I am guarding has eluded me and scored. I’ve eaten so much pride while playing disc that I think I’m gaining weight. I have accepted the fact that there will always be someone faster, more talented than I am. But that doesn’t stop me from putting on my cleats any chance I get and try to hold my own against 20-something athletic legs. Hey, I’ve scored, cut and made great plays a lot of times too. Now that we’re done with the basics of playing the game, here comes the harder part - HOW TO SURVIVE PARTIES AND NIGHTS OUT. But that’s another story.
