Spinning a staff all pretty like in a fight gets you a whack in the face from the opposition. nods _________________________ The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."

Promethean_Advocate member Registered: 03/01/06 Loc: Canberra	How about: “Think not of the staff as being rigid, but of your mind as being the thing that is inflexible.” And what’s all this crap about “Poi is life” anyway. As a wise man once said: “Staff is not a matter of life and death – its much more important than that.” Or words to that effect. _________________________ Incendiary meditation “Think not of the staff as being rigid, but of your mind as being that which is inflexible.”

Drudwyn Forget puppy power, Scrappy's just gay Registered: 27/08/05 Loc: Southampton Uni	"How good are you at staff?" Someone asked me. "How good?" said I. "Yes", said the boy, "Which level?" I replied to him, "Level, eh? Well, I suppose I'd be level 1." "Just starting?" And then I looked him in the eyes, and I knew what it was to be a spinner. Quietly I spoke to him then. "Yes. Just starting, every day, just starting." (Points to the person who recognises the exchange!) _________________________ Spin, bounce, be one with the world, because it is yours to enjoy...
