TeaPartyCamp ------------ From: parinell@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (James C Parinella) Subject: FRISBEE WITH THE EXPERTS Date: 22 Aug 1994 22:40:44 GMT Tired of having a good team on paper but never winning the big game? Sick of hearing "You guys throw REALLY well" after losing 15-7? Infuriated at watching yet another tournament final and wondering why it's not you out there? Well, now, there is a solution. From the popularizers of the "Clam".... From the inventors of the "Tea Cup".... From the people who turned Earth Atomizer from an also-ran with dubious talent into a Worlds' semifinalist.... From the group that ousted moonee@aol.com and gave Boston its first Easterns' championship in a decade.... IT'S... "LEARN TO PLAY FRISBEE: THE TEA PARTY WAY" Yes, that wacky group will make you a more complete player. No more stall 9 hucks to nowhere. With the Tea Party O, there's always a dump available. No more futile layout attempts on defense, allowing the open throw for the goal. With the Tea Party D, you'll always be in the proper position. And as for the tournament party, act now, and Mike Kizilbash, winner of the Best Dressed award at the recent Hingham tournament (won by you know who), will give you a free wardrobe consultation. Listen to some satisfied customers: Shawn, Westchester, NY. "I had only made it as far as Sunday at one other tournament in my life. I play with the Tea Party, and next I thing I know, I'm playing in the finals and drinking from the victory trophy. I never knew the game could be so easy." Peter, Westchester, NY. "For as much shit as Alex (deFrondeville) takes, there's no one that's more important to a team. I mean, he's slow, he's lazy, and he can't throw a forehand more than 40 yards, but it works for him. I guess it's in the way he plays." And listen now to some UNsatisfied NON-customers: Kenny, NY, NY. "I can't believe we lost to the Tea Party. I mean, I know those guys crushed us all spring, but we had a better team at Hingham than we did at Easterns, and they were playing with a bunch of our castoffs, and they still kicked the shit out of us. One thing they told me, but which I didn't understand, is "Your problem is that your matchups were too good." What did they mean? Oh, and that Parinella is a god." I'll explain what Kenny said. Too often, people think that the number of spectacular plays a player makes or almost makes is what determines his value as a frisbee player. They conveniently forget about the turnovers and the spectacular efforts required by others to complete those plays. In Kenny's example, his team had such "mismatches" in the end zone that they would throw anything just to "take advantage", disregarding the wind and poachers and field space. Playing the Tea Party way, they would have selectively chosen their long throws and taken the free 30 yards instead. And here's one final testimonial: Jordan, Stoughton, MA. "Dude, I'm so happy to be on a team again where the Tea Party has the say. For as fat and as out-of-shape as Dennis McCarthy is, I'll take him any day over the likes of Jay "Geek Boy" Seeger. They're gods. To paraphrase Bum Phillips, "They could take their players and beat your players, then take your players and beat their players."" So plan on attending the Tea Party Frisbee Camp. If you can throw a forehand and aren't afraid to dump it, the Tea Party will GUARANTEE that you and your team will improve.
