Ok, it had to be done, so I am doing it.
YOU MIGHT BE A FIRE SPINNER IF:
*You have set fire to your clothes more than three times in your life.
*(Men only) you have hit yourself hard in the nads at least five times in one day.
*You are no longer bothered by the puzzled look on the cashier's face as she rings you up for three cans of white gas and a pack of bic lighters.
*You always have a lighter on you, even though you don't smoke.
*Your idea of a good time is to spend a night making strangers stop and stare at you.
Any others?

Not only do you find the smell of Kero comforting, but you find yourself smelling your Zippo lighter at work to get you through the day.

When I finished, he walked up and said "Listen, I'm not supposed to say this, but...could you do that again?"
I was more than happy to.
Anyways, I came up with another one:
*You ALWAYS carry your practice pois with you and sometimes practice outside during your lunch break at work or school.
Peace.
quote:I think I mentioned this on another thread, but we were having a party at my house and I was spinning fire outside. Well, cars kept slowing down to watch. Eventually, a cop car drove up, slowed down (It didn't look like he'd been called there), and stopped. I kept spinning because I didn't see a good reason to stop and he hadn't asked me to stop.

Actually, glowshow gave me tips on MAKING them
Thanks man..
*when your friends stay away from you because of fear you will spontaneously combust*
*instead of kick me signs on your back, you get "fire hazzard" signs put on you*
*you have to be careful smoking when you sweat*
*your room, pillows, sheets, clothing, towels all smell like kero*
*there are 349867928457698 scorch marks on your front lawn*
*there are soot marks inside where you swung the UNLIT poi*
*you explain things in everyday life as "BTB", "weave", "butterfly", "windmill" etc etc and no one knows what the hell you are talking about*
*you've ever met anyone off this board before (glowshow)*

Here's one for folk like me who go out to poi at night but they don't know where, but it's ok because they have friends tht poi all over the place.
You carry two bags.
Typical converstion between me and non-poiing friend (NPF).
NPF: Phuhzzz, why do you have two bags?
Phuhzzz: One has toys and the other has a change of clothes that I don't want smelling of kero.
NPF: OK. Cool.
Phuhzzz: Can I crash at yours?
NPF: Sure.
Phuhzzz: Yippee! Thanks.

Okay, so here's two that have happened to me at my work - which is in a rehab center from 10pm to 6am.
*I have found myself bringing my torches and practice pois with me to work and practicing in the darkened lobby at 4 in the morning.
*I had a guy who spent 22 years in prison tell me that my hobbies seemed too dangerous to him and he'd be really worried if I was his daughter.

...when you use 3-D CAD programs from work to design and run stress analysis on a "new breed of fire sword"...

butterflys are not friendly insects
windmills have nothing to do with alternate energy sources
and when you start weaving your pencil and making fire noises in the middle of a sport science test, when your friends dont even ask what your doing on monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday or sunday night, and when they do ask why im sitting there with my arms crossed above my head, head tilted and a puzzled expression on my face.

i swing as i'm walking to get parts out of stock
*you don't mind the looks people give you when you go to the store, buy 2 cans of fuel, a fire extinguisher and a 3 pack of BIC lighters*
*you have ever dipped your finger in fuel and lit it out of morbid curiousity*
*your drink nights with friends involve alcohol, parafin and a lighter, and you don't drink*
*your drunk friends have ever asked if they could try it*

Word up, Frodus! I met Supafly off HoP as well, and now he is one of my good friends.
When you convince the night-shift supervisor at Wal-Mart that it's a matter of life or death to search through the back room to find you a couple of cans of white gas at 5:45 in the morning in a town you have never been to after spending 45 minutes trying to find the damn place, only to return to the party to find that it's over. And then finding out you left your $350 camera in the DJ booth...and it's not there anymore!
You have poured white gas on your hand (just a little bit! Damn!) and lit it to see how long you had to put it out because you have this crazy idea about how to light your wicks.
You harass every club owner in town to let you spin fire in their establishment.
(Bonus points if you get a "Yes." )

Shucks.

You don't even feel burns less than 3rd degree, or even notice them untill several days later when they start to change color. (ok, well only the little 2nd degree burns aren't noticable)
You have to use your shirts to to dry off with because you have used all of your towels to make fire wicks.
You don't have any socks left, for the same reason.
You are getting used to people telling you that you smell like gasoline,
You smell yourself and don't notice anything.
You have people that noodle (sticking your arm in a hole, underwater, in the hopes that a masive fish will be there, and not a snapping turtle or a snake) tell you that what you are doing is dangerouse.
you get pissed off when movies use fire in unrealistic ways (like when they hit somebody with a little ol' flaming stick and their whole body bursts into flame)

You have people that noodle (sticking your arm in a hole, underwater, in the hopes that a masive fish will be there, and not a snapping turtle or a snake) tell you that what you are doing is dangerouse.
you get pissed off when movies use fire in unrealistic ways (like when they hit somebody with a little ol' flaming stick and their whole body bursts into flame)
we eat and we drink and we smoke and we try!

I lit my hand on fire the other night, singed some hair, but i lit my friends POI
it was badass
And i've harassed the club here that throws raves, and its sounding like a "residency" might be possible with our little group. not sure about legal things, but we're takin it slow, getting permits, etc etc.
*you've ever met someone at a party that also spins fire
*you've ever asked someone at a party if they go to HOP
(bonus if you got a yes)
*you have ever tried lighting poi with a cigarette
(bonus if you SPUN with it)

You have poured white gas on your hand (just a little bit! Damn!) and lit it to see how long you had to put it out because you have this crazy idea about how to light your wicks.
You harass every club owner in town to let you spin fire in their establishment.
(Bonus points if you get a "Yes." )

OK I GOT ONE- you know your a poi addict when your offering to light yourself on fire for free if they buy your gas or you find yourself on a corner standing around junkies and prostitutes with a piece of carboard in your hand that says "SPARE CHANGE FOR WHITE GAS -GOD BLESS" i got a really good one-im in a welding class right now and submerged welders are telling me fire eating/spinning must be dangerous/hazordous to my health (submerged welders have chances of blowing up and gases leaking into their wet suits and shark attacks!!)and all the other welders think im nuts too

I love the persil bag idea! Loads on order!
... when your optician tests you for glaucoma every 6 monts because of the chemical residues (and iritation) you alway seem to have in your eyes.
... when the same optician ofers you safety specs coz you always seem to be braking normal ones.
... when your girlfriend knows youre not sneaking off to get drunk with your mates or to see another woman... it's a fire affair.

If music is the expression of emotion, politics is merely the decoy of perception.I sing with fire.
