 Words are pointless anyways... Isn't that why we juggle? But double double negatives with inverted sarcasm is the jedi of wit, in my humble opinion

Nice one, you funny little american...
*patting NYC's head in a well-done-for-being-witty way*
And at which point do you sit back, scoff at the newbs and say
'It was so much harder in my day?'
Which came first? Sarcasm or HoP?

I was gonna say "Coleman's Mom" but I'd get yelled at.
And I rarely scoff at the newbs. You oldies are way more scoffable.

I'm not old... You registered on this site back before the world changed mister... Ahhh... I see what you did there... it was an American double double negative, inverted - so sly you probably didn't even realise it yourself.  (ermm... should we maybe leave Helen's EJC-ness thread alone - or is this considered group bonding?)

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!

*lets out a big sigh of relief*
finaly exams (and post exam cath-up-parties)are over.. didnt even have time to think about posting here. just got a chance to see the aftermath of my *time wasting* comment.. lovely to see that you guys do have a sense of humour.. and most of you dont know who i am.. so i'll be able to spread dodgy rumours around campsite etc , muahahahahaha!!... anyways.. anyone thats over a little early and looking for somthing to do.. get yourself down to LIMERICK for their juggling convention this weekend.. it promises to be a nice , fun filled weekend, and one of the organisers is a HoPer so there will be a very strong spining vibe. be there or be L7.

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?
