<February 9, 2010> Walter Frederick "Fred" Morrison (January 23, 1920 – February 9, 2010)

Walter Frederick Morrison, 90, inventor of the plastic version of the flying disc, passed away on February 9, 2010. He was 90-years old — or 19 in dog years. Every kid who has ever thrown a disc in a park owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Morrison for his foresight. But many dogs owe him much more. You see, the ubiquitous flying disc — known to many as the Frisbee — is much more than a toy to millions of eager canines. It is, a profound source of joy, an object of desire, and the glue that has cemented the bond between canine and human for decades. Morrison may not have realized, as he hawked his plastic discs on California beaches, that canines would come to revere the plastic flying disc even more than humans. Today, no person of reasonable intelligence would deny this truism.

Morrison led an unusual life that is not well known to most enthusiasts of the flying disc. His interest in flying objects was likely accelerated by his experiences as a pilot during World War II. At one point, Morrison was even shot down and held as a prisoner of war for eight weeks. Although Morrison is often credited with the invention of the flying disc, that credit more properly belongs to students at Yale University who adapted metal pie tins from the Frisbie Pie Company for campus throwing games. Morrison plasticized and popularized the flying disc and initiated the fad that would introduce the world to the plastic flying toy that would soon become know as the “Frisbee.” Morrison's 1957 sale of the rights to his plastic flying disc invention to the Wham-O toy company put the toy in the hands of a company with the means to promote the toy worldwide. Thus, the trademarked term "Frisbee" became primed to enter our lexicon and the hearts and mouths of our canines.

<April 1, 2010> Hyperflite is proud to introduce a revolutionary canine disc designed to be all things to all people. Designed by world-renowned aerodynamicist Dr. Jacob Phrid, even average throwers can make 200-yard plus throws with this new disc. Using the five V-Principles of New Age Aerodynamics (also known as Verner’s Law) that include velocity, viscosity, verbosity, varicosity, venereology, and ventriloquism, Dr. Phrid knocked one out of the park with this new canine disc.

In honor of Dr. Phrid’s new V-Principle designed disc, we have decided to name the disc “Phrid’s V.”  When you throw the new Phrid’s V, you will understand what it means to be one with a disc. With scarcely more force than it takes to lift a bale of cotton, even your spouse could break every disc record in existence with the new Phrid’s V. But Hyperflite didn’t content itself with a mere quantum leap in disc design. No, Hyperflite also incorporated two rare earth minerals, Blermite and Perynium, in a polymer matrix that truly gives wings to the new Phrid’s V.  Although the Federal Government tried to supress Hyperflite’s new disc design arguing that release of the Phrid’s V represented a threat to national security, Hyperflite’s crack team of lawyers was able to sue the government into submission.

And, here’s the best news of all…the new Phrid’s V has been approved for use in the Quadruped! Oh, and one more thing — as if we had to bribe you to use our new flying disc — Hyperflite is offering a bounty of 100,000 big ones* to the first person to throw the new Phrid’s V more than 300 yards. 

At Hyperflite, we don’t just knock off the competition, we “murdelize” em.
