A Celebration of Obscure Athleticism
Our experience as a spectator of Ultimate (motto: a game so fine, its name is merely an adjective) prompts us to direct Gentle Viewers to this video highlight:
It teases us with the tension between its lexicography and its syntax. Such teasing requires great confidence, not least when the word is already a superlative.
Fantastically entertaining for all of 473 people in the world. But i'm sure they still have a magazine complete with needful product ads and the like. "Dont' buy their Frisbee Sex Wax" buy ours, guaranteed and used by" fill-in the blank obscure Ultimate icon. Found next to "Horse Tack Maintainer" Magazine.
Can a name be merely an adjective? Doesn't it become a noun once it becomes a name?
