Once you spin, you can't stop. I spin everything I get my hands on x.x ex: grocerys, keys, chains
At my office I've got two bands of shoe strings I cut up, tied at the end to paper clamps. Works good for boredom attacks.
I've gotten giant lanterns, and spun them on chain. Wow they were heavy, but they lit up and looked like fire poi frozen in time but still spinning ^,^; Bloody hard to stop thier momentum though.
I tried spinning my girlfriend like a staff once, it worked (she's a cheerleader)... but I never learned how to staff x.x.
I am living proof you can practice spinning with beamers every day and still be alive 6 months later ^^. What I don't get is where anyone would ever get the bright idea of spinning an HAMMER or a AXE. That is so much more dangerous than fire. I've hit myself in the face with fire full force, and couldn't care less (got it on video XD). I don't think I want a spear in my jaw any time soon.

Hey I tried to spin my 7 year old daughter but she kept giggling too much. It sort of works.... she's a twin so I'd try doubles but my back couldn't take it (and I'm scared of my wife's reaction...)

the other night I was spinning massive amounts and after that got home on my Enfield. Unfortunately I got stuck on a narrow road, behind a massive truck... you can't imagine the loads of smoke from his exhaust... (*coughs by the mere thought of it*) Gotten home I showered for half an hour and then tried to clear my nostrils... they were so congested!  So with my right pinky I pull one snot out of the left nostril... eeeeeeew some solid matter at the end of a long slimy thread...  and (you guessed it) with my left I pull the same out of my right nostril...

my youngest, isaac (8), spins anything he can get his hands on (staff-like, cos that's his weapon of choice), at the grocery store... celery, kabana, loaf of dog food...
last time we were there in the fruit'n'vege section, isaac was spinning a carrot, while lachie (11) was spinning a pair of turnips (as poi, as they're his weapon of choice)...
strange boys... but then... they are mine...

Tampons would be the weirdest. But also, phone chargers. Tent poles. Punt poles (ahh - good times...  ). My sister. A chair. A taser (longggg story!). And some other random stuff.

i span with my friends braids in a club once, they were past her knees and she was idly playing them while talking to the barman, i couldn't resist... -my mobile phone, by its lanyard -sugar dummies -pillow cases with bean bags in - made fairly good flag poi! -two broken plugs after the cat chewed through the wires (they were unplugged, so the kitty is fine ^_^) -headphones (the kind that go in your ears) -my dreadfalls think that's about it! I guess if it has a cord and a weight of some kind I'll probably try to spin it, haha

In dome tents you have those long dome tent poles that connect up into one long tent pole and collapse into a bundle when not in use...those are fun to spin unconnected  (until you lose grip of it or throw it and it becomes a giant half connected tent spaghetti monster thing  )

I used to work at a recycling depot. Sometimes that job got really slow/boring, so I sometimes got in the habit of getting plastic twine and tying that off to two empty orange juice jugs. They were large and bulky, but I could manage to do 360 3 beats, butterflies, and a few other simple ones.
