coleman big and good and broken Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	Written by: NYC Um... That'd be nice certainly but there are certainly a section of jugglers that vocally hate poi. i realised i've never actually met one in real life - i'd love to talk to one of them one day... people that hold those kind of views are less 'jugglers that hate poi' and more just 'twats' imo. cole. x _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

maus Carpal \'Tunnel Registered: 14/07/05 Loc: Sihanoukville, cambodia	Yeah its funny how jugglers don't seem to mind poi at all when its beautiful young ladies wiggling around in front of them. Has me puzzled anyway!... So wish i could come to this.

In Sheffield actually. I tried to bring up the fact that "Unicycling isn't juggling either but you don't seem to actively hate that" but he seemed lost on logic in general. Didn't Jason Whatshisface do a poibashing thing on the mainstage before his juggling performance two years ago at EJC?

mcp Flying Water Muppet Registered: 20/05/03 Loc: Edin-borrow.	I thought that was thomas dietz? Plus I hate crap poiers too. And I hate unicyclists that constantly get in my way. And jugglers that juggler real close to you and then keep picking up balls they drop by your feet. ANd I hate getting swacked by horizontal diablo genocide's. So I usually leave half the hall for that guy... bloody jugglers! _________________________ "the now legendary" - Kaskade "the still legendary" - Kaskade I spunked in my friend's aquarium and the fish ate it.

coleman big and good and broken Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	seems i was right then ("less 'jugglers that hate poi' and more just 'twats'") as for garfield, no-one ever really listens to what he has to say do they? he's often quite funny but that's about it. he doesn't allow poi at the wjf, thinks that unless you can juggle 7 balls you don't deserve to be called a juggler (yet not-so-secretly wishes he was as good as anthony gatto is) and is so arrogant that his idea of promoting juggling is to promote his specific style of juggling. i'd love to meet garfield (and jason garfield but the cat's way higher up the list). i think he has done a lot of good work for juggling in america and is an amazingly talented performer. but on certain topics, i'm just not quite sure when he's joking and when he's not... i hope he comes to the bjc next year - they're hosting the wjf in the uk and i'm absolutely certain that all spinning-type-stuff will be welcomed with open arms cole. x _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

coleman big and good and broken Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	Written by: mcp I made a whole post on this a while back. yeah but my opinion counts for more cole. x p.s. the wink means i was employing the literary technique of irony and thus should be read as a witty jibe and not as a scathing personal attck that rocks you to your very core. i know you;re sensitive like that p.p.s. if i say something like "you suck " does the double wink act like a double negative and imply that i'm not being sarcastic? or does it just mean a double wink i.e. i'm using an intricate combination of irony mixed with sarcastic overtones...? p.p.p.s. if i nod when i'm talking in real life, does this mean i'm indicating that what i am saying is meant ironically? after all, they say a nod is as good as a wink... i personally think a wink ranks way higher on the gesture-o-meter. _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

mcp Flying Water Muppet Registered: 20/05/03 Loc: Edin-borrow.	Am I sensitive? I didn't notice... That is entirely the question cole... If two winks cancels out, then is it the same as one, and are you in fact employing american sarcasm, where you don't let on that your saying the opposite of your own opinions? Or does it mean that you thought I might miss the first wink and therefore two would be better? Or maybe you're suggesting that I forgot to meet you at the corner outside the docks wearing a brown rain jacket and carrying a copy of the financial times... who can tell in this big scarey world of textual communication? _________________________ "the now legendary" - Kaskade "the still legendary" - Kaskade I spunked in my friend's aquarium and the fish ate it.

NYC NYC Registered: 26/08/01 Loc: NYC, NY, USA	Where was Meg talking about American Sarcasm? Seems like I should have been featured as a guest speaker or at least gotten some kind of royalties. And do Brits make their sarcasm really obvious? Written by: FurryPurple Words are pointless anyways... Is WRITING 'words are pointless' an oxymoron? And speaking of morons...

Helen_of_poi lapsed spinner Registered: 28/04/04 Loc: Dublin, Ireland	Written by: NYC Didn't Jason Whatshisface do a poibashing thing on the mainstage before his juggling performance two years ago at EJC? Yes, Jason Garfield is particularly vocal about his opinions on poi. And Thomas Dietz did a piss take poi show on the open stage at the EJC last year. Which mainly annoyed the jugglers who wanted to see him juggle, not prance around in a tutu spinning tails. But honestly, probably a couple of hundred spinners will be at the EJC. Maybe even more poi spinners than for example devil-stickers will be there. Yet no one minds seeing devil sticks on stage. All i know is that spinners were among the first to offer us help, lots of them have pre-registered, and the jugglers on the team have been keeping an eye on this thread, and many have commented on how supportive spinners are. It's only fair that this art, which has evolved a huge amount in a short time, is represented. Besides, if the jugglers don't want poi at the EJC, fine - i quit! _________________________ Helen_of_Poi EJC Ireland 2006 Organisational Team

josephmcginley newbie Registered: 01/07/05	As a real cynical technical juggler, who enjoyed Thomas Dietz's act pulling the piss out of poi at the EJC in France, I am kind of afraid to post here, but... In the 2 EJC's I've been to, I've often been disappointed by poi performances. I think that is largely because I've been spoiled at local conventions in Ireland - the quality of poi routines I've seen here is as ambrosial as could be found anywhere in the world. A good poi routine can be as dazzling and entertaining as the best technical juggling imaginable, I'm looking forward with relish to seeing performances from talented Irish spinners, and I hope that you HOPers are well represented from far-flung frontiers, and that my misconceptions are hung out to dry. PS if people who post here regularely are HOPers, does that make me a no-HOPer? Joe
