Who can beat plastic fish?..

whats the most interesting thing people have made their poi out of?
i made some make shift glow poi out of some fishing lures once hehe
and i saw someone at a free partee with these fat off plastic fish on the end of their poi...the wierder the better i say!

I have been known to spin with a couple of real lemons on some string

Rats are good, and so are cannon balls, just dont hit yourself with either.......the rats get really nasty about it

Do quad poi with rats and cats on the ends of the string. Get two points of force!

how about a carrot on one side and a donkey on the other?, spins itself.

how about live trantula's, peaple definatly wouldent walk into you then!

Tom_Brain - LOL! That's cool, you could do some awesome tricks by spinning 1 carrot and two donkeys...all sorts of patterns where the 'poi' unexpectedly merge and split apart to get the carrot...

if you tie a piece of buttered bread to the back of a cat (incedently how ufo's work) that could make some intresting poi... anti-grav poi
... see antigravity feline butterology theory for more info....

hhhmmmm cat and bread fall on side, then cat cant get up because buttered side wants to roll over and land, and cat trying to roll onto feet the other direction. so cat stuck on its side. and they fall because they do, just what way they fall is determined.

My friend Brillo spun his pet ferrets a few times. I am now totally convinced that ferrets are completely indistructable.

When I still worked as a cook I spun two very large salmon. You people think that beming poi hurt, try getting hit with a 10 pound fish...

I tried a set of spiky, solid iron, morning star type balls that i got from a replica medievil flail on the ends of some really thick rope........

.... smacked myself on the head...havent tried it again since! ....

Nuff said????

on the idea of hurtin, try spinning poi woth peices of pipe. not good.

I will spin anything lying around on the floor for too long. Have been know to take the plugs out of the sockets at work and spin those!

Have been working on a perpetual spinning machine. But the government keeps stealing my prototypes. Lately I've been sticking to spinning cats.

A guy I work with made a pair of tape-wad poi at work one night (UPS) and I was like "Poi!" He said you've seen this before? I said, "Yeah, I do it with fire." hehe... He's an E-tard. Also, we have little ball bearing rollers in the floor where I work for moving large containers full of packages around... I spend some night pulling the ball bearings out of the floor and juggling them.

was bored in calc, so i made poi outta masking tape, pencils and staples.(full size) and my teach got mad, cuz i wasted soo much tape.
i have also spun two small(3yr old) children on child leashes. luckily, we were related, or else their moms would have been mad.

Trandsducers. Very expensive bits of electronica attached to long cables, waaay too tempting, waaay broken....

my mate works in IT support and after i gave him the poi bug he was at work the next day spinning power cables - untill he hit himself with the rather heavy spikey uk plugs and decided to give up on that idea

two sensitive 3d mice (you know, the computer pointers that have little gyroscopes that allow you to move the mouse in 3d just by moving it through the air) I got two hooked up to two computers at a lan party, reenforced the cable with a cord, so it wouldn't break, turned on mouse trails and put fireball cursurs on the screen, and spun away. made some really neat patterns.

I hope you're not serious about this. I know ferrets are pretty much indestructable but spinning them is not cool in any way.

Donkeys on the other hand have no feelings so spin them to your hearts content

I just noticed that this thread is really old.

I guess my point is still valid: It's cruel to spin any animals smaller than donkeys
