this is going to sound really weird...

my old roomate bought a very big double headed dildo and cut it in half and made nunchucks out of it.

we called them the 'dilchucks'

they hurt very bad when you got hit by them.

Tried staffing with walking stick just after was introduced to firestaffing. Didn't work very well, not straight and uneven weighting due to antler on one end!
Have proper staff now, yay!

I was working at an environmental center for awhile, and couldn't help twirling whatever tool I touched - rake, scythe (look out!), broom, cutters, hammer. Didn't try any poi moves by swinging the angle grinder by the cord though. So call me gutless. Hehe.

I have a habit of spontaneously twirling random objects in my room (including an african spear) and hitting the fan.

Hmm... tent poles, pens, cardboard rolls, branches; anything goes...

but then i realised what i was doing and hit myself in the face with the plug end






An ongoing thing with some friends of mine was to say "Hey look what I can do - owwwww"... "Hey I just figured out how to - owwwww"... "Check it out, I came up with this new - owwww"

i figured if i increase my weight on my poi i might get better arm mucles, so i had these 32 ounce alchol bottles (rubbing alchol in plastic bottles), i took them and shoved them in my socks and tried spinning away... They were fine until just after the apex of the spin when the centripital force wore out.
I'll catch myself swinging without thinking sometimes... After the guys at my juggling club showed me the basics of moving your hand for club swinging it hasn'et been limited to shopping bags and chords, but rather soda bottles and such too...

My halberd and axe often get spun. Any flat object like trays and books etc get spun like plates on my finger. I plate spin with an epee and stick throwing the plate from one to the other - that's fun

Think jugglers have got obsessive compulsive disorder - in a good way i.e. non-Howard Hughes way.

i love this game! erm glow sticks on the end of tent guy ropes was what I learnt to spin on, bean bags on climbing ropes works really well, until it hit the ground and split, did anyone know there are REAL beans in those?! and about a million of them!!Ive always wanted to try a 9section steel whip, its a shaolin kung fu weapon. My martial arts school gave me a lanyard(SP?)to put my keys on, that gets spun a lot when im there. clothes, phone chargers, any electrical plug at all actually, belt with a big buckle, I teach kids how to use nunchucks so am bit handy with them, police dont like them too much in public tho...
