Richard Knerr, the man behind the Hula Hoop and the Frisbee, is dead.
It's a sad day. You know...for kids.
And I can think of no better way to mark it than watching this. Cinematic genius from start to finish. As one of the commenters on YouTube says - it's so perfect it makes you want to cry.

Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings -- And why the sea is boiling hot -- And whether pigs have wings.

Alas! No Moses to stop the clock there. Sad day indeed.
Hula Hoop, Frisbee AND the SuperBall. God how I loved the SuperBall. No better toy than that to piss off one's mother.
