How Frisbees Kill

Frisbees evidently wield enormous energy of an unknown type. Perhaps an energy charge is absorbed from the discfighter's body, and perhaps this absorption is facilitated by the Velcro linkage or by the action of pulling this linkage apart at the commencement of a throw. Careful examination of cinematic wild west gun fights, upon which the discfight is modeled, reveals a charactistic excess of nervous tension on the part of the fighters. If such tension could translate into energy of an unknown type, and if this energy could be captured upon the almost mystically beautiful surfaces of flying discs, certainly that energy might conceivably represent a lethality of impressive proportions.

It is easily deduced that the energy deposits found on in-flight discs and the residual energies of the discfighter participants constitute a type of field. A discharge of lethal energy by one disc precipitates a total, simultaneous discharge of the other. This state of affairs is proved by the fact that near simultaneous hits by both frisbees always result in the death of the first person hit and never cause injury to the other person. A hit by one frisbee renders the second frisbee instantly harmless, and this fact is most reasonably explained as an arcing of the energy of the still flying disc into the energy flow begun by the other, a bit like lake water responding to the bursting of a dam.

The uncanny "action at a distance" which forces discfighters to remain motionless is also well-explained by the field theory. The postulated residual energy of a player's torso in movement evidently creates an energy flow in much the same way that the quick movement of a lake dam, if that were possible, would cause vast disturbance in the surrounding water. In that case, the momentum of the moving water would greatly increase the pressure sustained by the dam, increasing the chance of rupture. We might surmise that the strength of the "dam" in the case of a discfight energy field is, invariably, only just sufficient to prevent spillage, since first movement by a discfighter is always disastrous.
