The newsgroup rec.sport.disc carries (among other things) posts about Ultimate. In a recent thread, an argument about the tournament format for the World Championships led to this exchange between Ken Dobyns and myself (and a few others).
People unfamiliar with rec.sport.disc should realize that there's a tradition of "chapping"---trading insults---and that they don't actually demonstrate any ill will.
By the way, Dobyns won 5 consecutive National Championships with New York in the early 90's, and is still a great player.

as i was saying....
"why can't" juliet "sleeping dogs lie" lamont succeeds in being irksome with:
>There was an open division?
ok, "you"liet. you wanna go? good. i'm sick of humiliating nesbitt and flash
anyway.
as another respondent has already pointed out your limited knowledge of the
european continent, i'll not belabor that point. but am i to understand
correctly that you failed to qualify for quarters? surely with all that extra
time on your hands you had to notice all those other people still running
around chasing discs. what'd you think it was, the world group trc
championships? and whats the australian connection? are you a descendant of a
botany bay exile? or am i hitting a little too close to home?

Ken "too many steroids" Dobyns says:
> ok, "you"liet. you wanna go? good.
Juliet said she'd kick my ass if I didn't stand up for her, so: Watch what
you say about my girlfriend, little man...they don't call me "The Hammer" for
nothing. Hmmm, come to think of it, they don't call me "The Hammer" at all.
But if they did, it wouldn't be for nothing.
>i'm sick of humiliating nesbitt and flash anyway.
Yeah, that's too easy.

Ooooh, "failed to qualify for quarters", that one's really gotta hurt. And
then "descendant of a botany bay exile"...zing! Oh, please Kenny don't do it
any more you're hurting me, whimper whimper.
This is the lamest excuse for chapping that I have ever seen. And that's
saying a lot, considering I actually read Johnny G's posts occasionally. My
god in heaven, Dobyns, have you really slipped so far that even the pathetic
puerile posts of snot-nosed college kids griping about regional redrawing
have more bite than yours?
Looking at this charitably, I have to think that you're spreading yourself
too thin by trying to write 20 posts per day. All those trips to the
dictionary, and then back to the keyboard to hunt-and-peck your way through
another word...even a single post must take hours. How are you supposed to
be creative under those conditions? Sure, you save a little time here and
there by not having to keep looking up those pesky rules about capitalization
and the use of apostrophes, but still, there are only so many hours in a day.
If it's worth doing at all, it's worth doing right. We all know you've got it
in you. Let's go, baby.

how can i possibly top that?
we have a winner and undisputed champion for all time in the self humiliation
category. with apologies to my friend cartman, all i can say is if some girl
said she'd kick my ass i'd say, "yo, bitch! get your ass back in the kitchen
and make me some pie!"
btw, when you recover from your ass-kicking do us all a favor and shorten your
posts. use your dick as a guideline if you're unsure.

You sure know how to sweet-talk the ladies, don't you?

I'll use your staying power instead. Oops, have to do that next time, this
post is already too long.
All in all, your post was much better than your previous lame effort...you
even used a couple of apostrophes! I'll give it a B. Maybe you can play at
this level after all.

i was going to use your reply, but
"sorry juliet. i promise to back you up next time. and i'm sorry i forgot the
downy when i did your laundry"
just didn't convey the message i had in mind.

i serve it up on a platter and this is the best you can do?
>Maybe you can play at this level after all.
if i could you wouldn't know it. you couldn't find this level with a map, which is why
juliet does all the driving.

OK, I'll make sure my posts are as chock-full of disc info as yours is.
But seriously, man, what are you thinking? Don't you realize that Dobyns and
I have 5 Open National Championships between us(*)? Ultimate wisdom radiates
from us like heat from a stove. I would think that someone with genuine
interest in improving his game would have the sense to sit down, shut up, and
listen, and maybe you'll learn something.
