Well, unlike SOME people, I think dancing is pretty fun. But suit yourself.
Hey, news flash! Poi IS dancing! Ha hah!
...Sorryjustteasingya. 
Funky new avatar, FB. But what's he doing with the left poi? Kinda looks like he's frying his foot...

I have to say Japanese is the one language I'd like to learn, I'd like to learn how to use a Samurai sword too...that would be cool
I know my avatar is a bit of mess, but I'm making a new better one, it should be with you shortly.
Stiks is a girl right? Her last post leaves one word unfinished and can only think of one word that would fit in with the sentence ...but that may be because I have a rude mind

No, Stiks is most definitely not a girl. Kinda hard to tell here though, and no pronouns so far for hints..
Though I pride myself in having a most dirty mind (), I actually, for once, am stumped as to the rude word you were thinking of - please don't bother telling me, though, really! I may be wrong, but I think "wa" is Japanese. Dunno what it means though (see above post: "Japanese makes me go ").

yeah what he said of course since it is japanese, there's a lot more nuance to it than that, but harmony is about the closest there is in english. Japanese swords are fun, you should if you get the chance 
Uh, yeah it'd be pretty hard to confuse me for a girl in person...has happened, but I had doubts about the soberness of the people in question
Hehe, I think you'll find that the gutter runs far deeper than you think, PoiGirl...

Sorry stiks, it was when you introduced yourself as alex and as a friend of poi girl I just assumed
Never mind, no harm done 
Do you have a Samurai sword? Can you use it?
The only Japanese I know is 'katana', which im pretty sure means 'sword'.
Hey Hey! Our thread has reached 100 posts poi girl!

Hey no worries Yeah, I have a sword (officially speaking it's a Iai-tachi or Iai-to), and I've been studying Iaido (the art of sword drawing, though there's way more to it than that) for about two and a half years now. Funfun
Katana is a sort of catch all name that covers pretty much all types of japanese longsword (Iai-to, tachi, no-dachi, ninja-to, etc.etc.). The actual word for sword, which covers all swords, is ken, though the suffix 'to' can also be used (predictably with differences in nuance that I don't fully understand...).

Neat avatar, FB.
Who might that Grand Master of Filth be, stiks? Surely not anyone *I* am associated with on a regular basis...
I wonder, why do we develop dirty minds in the first place? Other than providing amusement, of course. Why do we find filth so funny?

Hi yelfe...who are you
Its a cool pic stiks, you can probably tell I drew my own too...except mine is bolox and done on windows 'paint'
Did your chain get rusty? I found mine did after just leaving them ouside for just one night. I put them in paraffin after that and it took the rust off, but if you leave the rust there for too long it'll simply eat the metal.
Have fun on holiday poigirl

not with fire (did my first airwrap behind my head with fire though... scary! But cool ), but I have done that many times with practice poi (I pioneered the term *nose/forehead "wrap"* ), and once with my scary heavy hard experimental throwing handles (of which I will never speak again...). Owwww. Yeah it smarts a bit dunnit. I also sport a few kevlar bites here and there...

ouch, apart from a bad whack on the back of the head, I've managed to escape injury. I have lost a lot of hair around my body tho, Ive also been hit a couple times in the crown jewels, fortunately they weren't too hard but it still hurts a smeg of a lot!

Hello, people! I returneth. Nice holiday on the beach. I'm depressed to be back because it was so fun, but it's great to be back here again! I kinda missed you guys... That's a sure sign of obsession.
Eek, stiks, that's scary. And being the second time your chains have broken, it must not be very comforting... I'm kind of paranoid about mine now, to tell you the truth..
On holiday I did fire poi a total of 4 times for my adoring extended family (aunts, cousins and such)!!! I'm a completely shameless show off, and they loved it, so it was cool. Heehee. Anyway, everything went well, and my mum videoed me so I got to see myself spin for the first time and that was so amazing! I also tried added some diesel fuel to the mix for the last burn because I was disappointed with the kero, and it lasted sooo much longer. Poifect. And I tried some things like throws, and failed pretty badly, and then got all discombobulated and started dropping the poi...man. Didn't hurt anything though. Phew, I'm getting a little over excited here, probably should get going.
And yelfe, care to introduce yourself?
