1970's Frisbee Becomes a Sport
Guts, Ultimate, Freestyle, Golf, Distance, Accuracy, MTA, Self Caught Flight, Discathon and Double Disc Court became this sports first events.
There are certain people that stand out when acknowledging who laid the ground work for the transition of playing with the Frisbee as a toy to disc sports. The Healy family (Guts), Tom Kennedy (Ultimate and UPA), Ken Westerfield (Utimate, Freestyle and Canadian Open), Jim Kenner (Freestyle and Canadian Open), Dave Marinni (FPA), Jim Palmeri (AFDO), Tom Schot (Santa Cruz Tournaments), Dan Roddick ( IFA and WFDF), Ed Headrick (Whamo and Disc Golf), Joel Silver (Ultimate). These are people that not only excelled with the Frisbee when it was still considered a toy, but help create the formats and concepts through their own tournaments and or organizations that produced the events and organization of disc sports we see today.
The Canadian Open Frisbee Championships, Toronto Canada (the beginning of Freestyle Competition), American Flying Disc Open (AFDO), Rochester, NY, Octad, New Jersey, International Frisbee Tournament (IFT), Marquette, MI, Santa Cruz Flying Disc Classic, Santa Cruz, California, and the World Frisbee Championships (WFC), held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, were the most progressive and trend setting tournaments of that time. These tournaments are where the sport of Frisbee ( disc sports ) really began.

The typical symptoms include lack of energy, inability to fall asleep, decrease in social participation, and excessive anxiety. The patients tend to show either/both apathy about life or/and pathological fervor about historic subjects. The disease frequently begins in September each year, reaching its climax in late April and early May, and wanes in June and July. The mortality rate it causes among patients is higher than the chance to get a 5, which is a cure for this disease.

Get the AP World History mug.A class that can be extremely difficult or extremely easy depending on the type of teacher you have. I recommend asking older students what the teacher(s) at your school are like before taking this class.
Type A AP Euro Teacher
The teacher that makes it easy is a teacher that gives little to know busy work, actually talks about questions that will be on the exams, and gives curves. Some kids who are retards or are extremely lazy will still find a way to fail, but majority of kids will pass, and about half will pass the AP Exam. They will even let you share the work with other students at times. This is the type of teacher you want, if you get this kind of teacher, it is a great way to boost your GPA.
Type B AP Euro Teacher
This teacher likes to give 2-3 hours of homework every night, mostly considered busywork every night. Tests will be on the 8 chapters assigned the night before the test, and almost everybody will fail and there will be no curves. They will also create retarded projects, useless essays and make you memorize vocab words which wont be on the AP Test. This teacher will likely give you 5 different textbooks, and expect you to read every page of every textbook by the time the year is over. When the AP Test comes around, the 7 people who haven't dropped the class usually end up doing ok, but at the cost of drastically lowering their GPA. These teachers are responsible for roughly 8.2% of teenage suicide.

Student A:I love my AP European History teacher, I have a 95% and I barely study, he goes over all the test questions in class, and I only read chapter outlines on his website! My History teacher Rocks!
Student B:Screw you, There are no A's, 1 B, 3 C's, 40 D's and 80 F's in all of my AP European History teacher's classes, I spend 3 hours a night on homework and have to study 4 hours to get a D on a test, 5 students have killed themselves this year, 7 are in mental hospitals, 6 have eating disorders, 3 are in jail for trying to kill the teacher. AP European History sucks.

Announcer: Epic Rap Battles of History: Benjamin Franklin VS Billy Mays BEGIN
Benjamin Franklin: I'm Big Ben Franklin and this shan't be pretty
Let me instruct you how we battle in the City of Philly
You couldn't sell Rick James a bag of crack, you're out of practice.
My victory's more certain than death or taxes.
Fact is, you're a hack whack QVC joke
You peddle soap, that cleans bird shit from my windows.
I'll craft a lyrical coffin then spit the nails in
Call me Arthur Miller son, cuz It's death of a salseman.
Billy Mays: Hi Billy Mays here with a special TV offer
Watch me crush this bald fat foppish founding father
I'll take my awesome auger, and sow your quaker oats
I'll shoot your rhymes down like a regiment of raincoats
I'm lord of the pitch, and leader in home sales.
You're just a lumpy pumpkin who invented the mail.
Benny's got kite'n key, but you're in for a shock
When I strike you with bolts from my lightning rod cock!
