Why? Surely it'd still be fun, still be a dance, still be something that made you smile.

Almost everyone thinks that fire eating is what we call fire breathing, they thinking juggling is something that can be done forever without dropping and staff is the people who work for a company...but then again, it might different off these here shores...

if poi got to be as mainstream as poi being sold in marks and spencer, that kind of thing, it suddeny becomes less cool for me. still fun though
