For those concerned/depressed about the "pretty basic" phase of life, I suggst you look to Bill Wise for enlightenment and inspiration as to how well "pretty basic" can be done.
Between the mizer who dies with a big bank account and no good memories and the adventurer who dies with a bag of memories but destitute and a burden on others, I think there is a middle ground. A ground where you spend at a rate suitable to your income on things that will give you good memories.

Both of my parents are in their 80s, in decent health/active and have more than enough money to do anything. A good time now, is splitting a bottle of beer, a box of Cheez-its and watching the Discovery Channel.
In their 50s - 60s, they bought land, tractors and more land.
Do it now, with in your means, or a little over - you'll have plenty of Cheez-it time down the road.

All things considered, wouldn't a frisbee fly on forever in a vacum? Death sucks so it must be a vacum. So I don't think landing on the roof for an eternity will actually be a problem. I think this is spelled out nicely in the Book of Frisbee.

Bob, altho finely argued, I believe your interpretation involves physametics which, altho not the least abhorent in a post- and/or supra-natural context, are generally considered heretical in mainline M.E. (Mezzanine Episcopal) Frisbeetarianism.

"Fly" implies aerodynamic forces. There is no air in a vacuum. Ergo, a frisbee can't fly in a vacuum. Should it be launched in a vacuum, it will contiue on a path determined by launch direction and gravitational forces until it hits something, like a roof. Well, i don't see the "funnin'" icons, so I'll jez have to hope youall recognized funnin' when you read it.

So your telling me that if I die and my wife puts me on the roof of our hOuse trAiler and the neighbors kid Ergo is pitch'n his frisbee while his moms run'n the vacuum cleaner and it happens to land on my dead body that I'll be launched into space untill I hit something.
Will this work for everyone or do you have to be a "Frisbeetarianism" ?

beep... beep... beep...
[recorded female voice] - Good morning! You are calling Gun Collectors Anonimous Hot Line. Unfortunatly, all operators are busy at the moment. Please, hold the line, or call later!
beep...
[Mozart playing]
beep...
[tired female voice] - Good morning! Gun Collectors Anonimous Hot Line, I'm Jane, can I help you?
[worried male voice] - Erm... Yes, I guess. You know, I've been collecting for, erm, some years and... I'm starting to wonder...
- Go on...
- Only, I don't realy think I do have a problem, but my wife says I do, and, she's filing for a divorce if I don't do something about it...
- Well, I want you to ralex for now, because very probably it's not something very serious... How can I call you?
- E-e-erm... James, yeah, call me James.
- So, James, let me ask you a few questions. How many guns do you have?
- Just over a hundred, it isn't too many, is it?
- And how many guns do you buy in a month, on the average?
- Erm... One or two.
- Well, James, you're absolutly not the worst case I've handled, and you have a very positive motivation to quit - you don't want to lose your wife, do you?
- Of course I don't! Her lawyer will rip off half my collection!
- [frustrated] Guess that's it... What are you collecting, by the way?
- Purdeys!
- Only Purdeys?
- They are the most wonderful guns ever made, and there's hardly any reason to consider anything else!
- YOU'RE BUYING A PURDEY EVERY MONTH???!!!
- [proudly] Sometimes more!
- [very worried] James, I'm afraid you do have a very serious problem with your collecting habits, and you ought to consider...
[God Save the Queen playing]
["James"] - Oh, excuse me, there's my gun dealer on the mobile... Can you hold the line?
- James, out of interest - can you say "No!" just once? Can you pick up the phone and tell your dealer you're not interested?
- I'll try... [speaking into the mobile] Hello, hello... A-ha, I see... Uh-huh... uh-huh... Oh really? What's the serial No? [hesitatnly] That's certainly... [pause] No. I'm not interseted. Not at this price. I might take it for 65,00 and noot a penny less. Good-bye! [hangs up, to Jane] See?!
