POI! hmmmm. the thought of it makes me.....

Yawn
Lets see, not exactly going to get a lot of staff replies on a poi forum are you.
And as for 'better', could you be more ambiguous?
I like crisps better

Both @ the same time or both at seperate times, either way, they are both equal.
Unless your doing 4 poi on fire, then "No contest".

"vive le staff!!!"

Of course this is a poi forum, staffers are slightly outnumbered by the crazy amount of poi peeps. If you don't think so, just check how hard it is to get a serious concise reply to anything in, lets say a staff moves thread
I think you can't get a fair answer to a question if its not at least a fair test, plus...
'Better' is about as vague as you could get
I still like crisps better

Mr Tempesht, i do concise replies in the staff forum, so there
i reckon the reason it get used less is because after a few basic moves, staffers tend to move into their own very specialised, personal moves. Yeah, ok, this is also true in poi, but to a far lesser extent. thats what i reckon anyhoo.
ANYWAY
staff is better than poi AND crisps BUT not better than tigers

poi are better cos they fold up smaller.
staffs are better because you can stop them anywhere and they don't go all floppy and make you look like you don't know what you're doing.
crisps are better cos they come in a bigger variety of flavours.
tigers are better because they tend to use less toilet paper (source: charmin advertisement 2003).
you are better than me.
betting is better but bad.

I’m choosing not to choose. I spinning both and absolutely refuse to choose one or the other. Totally two different instruments that, IMO, cannot be compared. So I choose ... ...BOTH!!
Can I do that, when I had already said I was not choosing?

airport tigers are better than anything!, they ponder on what an airport might be like! what could be cooler than that?
actually, respectable poles are good, although they don't do anything other than be respectful.Ya cant twirl a respectable pole cos it will get angry, and dizzy, of course it would really put the wind up it, if you set light to both its extremities
p.s
only simian will know what the heck im on about here

ahh yes i dont have a preferance to poi or staff but the one i am having more fun with at the time will be better than the other, like being able learn loads of new stuff with. I think both are just as creative, fun and stimulating.

yeah crisps are rubbish they create an illusion of satisfaction with their shiny colourful gimmick of a packet but they dissappear in a matter of ten minutes and so you need a constant supply, and they make you fat, and airport tigers last you a good 50 years or more !

That reminds me of a logic joke that 'apparently' Socrates made a long time ago.
Premise = The dog is yours
Premise = The dog is a father.
Therefore, using logic,

reverse logic is fun.
all dogs have four legs.
a cat has four legs.
ergo, cats must be a type of dog.

Both Staff and poi are fun, but staff is cool because you can prtend to be martial arts expert with it, but fire is the best of the two and thats what makes them fun!
The sweet smell of kerosin, the wooosshhh of the fire as it spins around, nothing really beats that and you get that with both poi and staff!!!
of course chrisps are great to, as you always need lots of energy to spin and crisps give lots quickly so you can spin more!!
and as for tigers well there just cool, i mean
"there bouncy, bouncy, bouncy bouncy fun fun fun fun fun!!!"
What you don't know won't hurt you? well i intend to get to know as much as possible so that i can make sure no one else has to so they carn't get hurt.

I prefer staff just because i'm a lot better at staff than I am with poi, as a matter of fact I suck poop at poi, and poi get angry and tangled then it takes a long time to sort them out. If your stick gets mad it just thunks you in the head and the argument is over.
what about heliport tigers do they eat crisps and what's their stance on monster munch?

Hi Smallgirl,
It's easy really, just substitute normal food with crisps so the fattening aspect isn't an option
Works for me and I'm a skinny bloke, plus everyone knows that crsips ar really healthy anyway, especially if they are BBQ Pringles

Heliport tigers were unfortunatly forced into extinction by Bus Station Hyenas, but i feel safe in saying that their stance on Monster Munch would almost certainly have been Pickled Onion.

as opposed to the airport tigers' stance on monster munch which is mainly 'wide and unsteady'.
