My Poi - alternate usage...

... now I danced late night, sweating, rode my motorbike, did a uHaul and carried heavy bags...

One day ahead the great party - which happened right in the yard of my new accommodation - I was getting severe lower back pain (again) and was paralysed for 24 hrs... (which somehow scared me for a few hours)

So I took my tennisball-poi, stuck them into a sock and knotted it, layed down with my spine and inflicted a nice massage, acupressure on my back... which - essentially - saved me and got me out of bed again (much of the backache is related to muscular tension)...

So.... I my poi even more, they are a great toy and tool...

Anybody else got ways to alternatively use theirs?

ear rings??? like pat butcher from eastenders

as contraception :P

chav beating implements

my staff helps me carry 2 bags around water bearer stylie

spare balls?

Twacking anoying people around the head, imediatly followed by "Oh I'm so sorry i didn't see you there"

What is it with idiots that crowd you when your spinning, don't they realise that poi will hit them if they get too close.

it's simmilar to a moth to a flame

found a good use for a staff - balance it across my room between two shelf-y things and use it as a washing line for socks etc. Probably best i didnt put anything on the ends - never good if your clean laundry starts to smell of parafin again before its even dry!

also.....................aother good use for a staff is when you loose the remote for the telly/sterio you can use the staff to turn it up

surely if you could aim your poi well and do stalls you could use them to operate the tv?

I tended to do that with the lightbulb... errm, to switch the flick... errm, turn the lights off that is

ive used one poi as a diabolo string, it added a new dimension two throws: *throw* *wibble* *catch*
