ravehead: it was strugz, I seem to recall

Zenooph, I'm sure there's a picture of that in a gallery somewhere..

I used whistles from the Notting Hill carnival as poi one year..

Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant

Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.

(note: I KNOW where that saying really comes from btw)

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.
