Alas, I regret to inform the freestyle community that our beloved Bob
"Feelin' Like A Dork" Green was killed in a horrible accident this evening,
shortly after the above posting, during his attempt to perform a feat of
physics that far surpassed the laws of nature and good sense, upon which
his body literally exploded.  Witnesses claimed this catastrophe generated
a sound similar to a watermelon dropped from a height onto a sidewalk,
followed by a brilliant flash of pink light...a pair of events that echoed
the very thoughts that must have been straining his mind at the time.  Let
us all take a few moments to remember Bob Green, the man - indeed, the
legend as of today - as he was: taking the sport of footbag freestyle to
limits that no man...no sane man...would venture, rather than as the
totally gross and icky corpse he has become.  You're in our thoughts, Bob,
wherever you are...I mean, that is to say, wherever your spirit is...not
all those bloody bits that are all strewn about, we know where those
are...but, well, you know what I mean...here's to Bob!  *clink*

With fondest memories and deepest apologies,
Ernest
