I'm sure we've all done some crazy stuff in our reckless beginnings. I'm curious to see what all has been spun
Guess I'll start off:
and yes I wasn't completely sober when I did some of these.
Fuzzy dice (for practice)
Old boots- yes I did light them on fire
various fireworks- no one hurt, luckily
and the infamouse wicks with black powder

Inside the pizza place I work at, I actually spun our oven mitts. Pretty balanced, if you ask me... and the customers loved it.

at school there was these kids in that "Color gaurd" flag twirling thing...
well my friend was in there and i was making fun of her coz she was off balance...and so she made me do try it out...
i had been surfing the site a little earlier and had learned the basics of the thing and tried it out.....it was really good...
then there was the un-attached earphones...
and the keychains and lightbulbs but those are a diffrent story...
(P.S.)
i love these smiles

Some for example,
Pens, headphones, keys, shopping bags, necklaces, clothes (when i get dressed it takes me double the time, i spin my trousers, my tops, underwear...) tinsel, tissues...
Nothing's safe in my hands.

The most dangerous thing I have ever spun was a 3 foot piece of rebar.Anyone who is unfamiliar with rebar let me just say it is pretty heavy (even for a piece only 3 feet long) and tends to leave a wickedly dangerous edge when it is cut.I'm in a construction trade so there is always things to spin e.g. threaded rods,extension cords,copper pipe,chains,etc,etc.
Where is pozee ??? I hear he likes to spin frozen loaves of bread.
Of course I also have a set of 8 inch long cathedral wicks that I spin pretty regularly.They make for a wicked burn but damn they're heavy.

I'm all about the socks, gloves, t-shirts, and whatever else I find in my laundary basket. Long bungee cords are fun too. Bike locks and my computer lock when I'm bored too. I scare people when I take out this rusty chain with a giant masterlock on the end and start playing with that, heavy beast it is

Oh yeah, most people think my normal poi are strange/wierd/crazy, just because they're a bit heavy

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

I like to play the "Funny Poi Game" the rules are simple; you and maybe a mate or two go into shops (I've found that tacky $2 junk shops are the best) and run around looking for something funny to twirl! Easy! I was poiing with these squeaking rubber pigs last time I played this game. The game tends to work in a "one-up" sort of way, I twirl with something funny, you twirl with something funnier, so I twirl with something even funnier, so you twril with something funnier still, so I twirl.......... you get the point.
A wise man once said to me, Hey! You! Get out of my wardrobe! and in a way, I guess he was right.

Old school cap and school tie, whilst listening to some old skool! In the middle of a crowded students union, unfortunately. In my defence, this was at about 2 in the morning, and I had been drinking for 13 hours. They worked surprisingly well, or at least I thought so at the time.

can you do a reverse weave while keeping three shuttlecocks in the mills mess pattern yet nix?
my weirdest poi (although i never got to actually play with them so they might not count) were broken baby dolls from a charity shop - the ones where the eys close when they're laying flat.
when they spin, they go blink-open-blink-open-blink-open-blink...

From the Geekboy school of Poi I spsn a couple of mice while lurking in the back of our server room. From there I moved on to a couple of PC power cables, though the plug pins have me slightly worried
I regularly twirl my hat as it has a very useful tail.
