Are you sure this is a new one? I've heard of them all before from many different sources (some at least in joke form) except "frisbeetarianism", which, after a quick look, is attributed to George Carlin. I wonder if he submitted it.

Eeyor --is that how the winnie the pooh character's name is spelled?--i am not a WtP fan, so i am unsure, well, the point is, eeyor, is woeful, and still beloved.
maybe Juan intended that exact word.
perhaps you were born on a Wednesday, and it can't be helped?

Boy, howdy. I sure don't see what frisbeetarianism is doing in there. Didn't know it had any other meaning than what is given on the list. Whether or not George Carlin invented it is irregardless.
