I have played around with poi on and off for a couple years but only recently decided to try to get past one variation of the butterfly and the 2 and 3 beat weave, also learn to not hit myself so damn much!
<('o^)>
OK Intro Quiz, here I go!

Occupation(s): A budding Fiber Artist
Favorite Food(s): Japanese, Moroccan, Mexican, Thai...
Favorite Color(s): Red & Black
What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?
Toys: Cone poi, various home made poi, Im thinking about getting some LED poi soon
Hobbies other than the obvious: I'm a collector of hobbies however I'm obsessed with Home Brewing and Fiber Arts right now
Education: Open Air University
Favorite Book(s): Anything from Bukowski and A Clockwork Orange
Favorite Movie(s): Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas & The Tongan Ninja
Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? Godzilla never needed a trilogy of prequels!

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? You'll never catch me with me trousers!

Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* I'll have to go with the Nutella, the Marmite and Vegemite is not readily available in the states so I have no valid opinion on them however I do know that Vegemite is a beer byproduct so it couldn't be as vile and evil as I've been told.
Hope that gives you some idea who and what this person somewhere inside the interweb is all about!

Welcome to HoP Joolsey. I recommend becoming familiar with the exits and fire escapes. Also, the refreshment lady that thinks she's a guy will be by soon to offer you the refreshments I secretly spike all the time and then Captain Marmite will be here after that. Also, also, beware of the kissy thief!

I found something out the other week: apparently "normal" people do not put Marmite on bread such that you can actually measure its thickness.
Admittedly you need some very accurate callipers, but you can not see bread in places when I spread Marmite.
Interesting though.
And welcome Joolsey!
Feel free to ask any questions that you may have.

This is so that they don't have to go to hospital after ingesting it. *(see foot note)

Yes how long did it take you to build up this tolerance for Marmite poisoning? *(see foot note)
*I am meant to wink according to the rules, apparently it is to let you know I am just poking fun and nothing else.

Marmite poisoning? You mean you are allergic to yeast?
Think of Marmite as salty beer concentrate if it helps.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm feeling like I'm part of the fray already!
Grr I missed a question!
Occupation(s): I sell my fiber arts to local shops and at open markets. Also a ten year plan on opening various Mobius Strip Malls and Clubs throughout the greater Washington State and... actually no but I can dream damn it!
OK Now I'm compelled to find a specialty shop to ship me the Veg and Mar mites for extensive and highly scientific experimentation. I will use Nutella as a control substance or palate cleanser >.> and will post my scientific findings here.
Don't worry I won't mainline the Vegemite... I read the poor bastard who did in The Bathroom Reader.
