Favorite Color(s): Earthy tones - greens, browns, blues - and purples

What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? African or European? Laden or Unladen? There's not enough information in the question to make an educated guess!!

Favorite Movie(s): 300, Star Wars franchise, good comedy,

Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? Star Destroyer wins because it could take Godzilla out with it's Turbo-Laser batteries whilst remaining in a geo-scyhronis orbit! However, should Godzilla be somehow able to reach said orbit and attack from close range in space then it's anybodys game!

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? Not at all!! Your butt looks fine! Do you work out?

Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* Marmite for sure!! Never had vegemite though so who knows!! Not allowed nutella what with being a diabetic and all!


Well, that's my little nutshell!! Still very much a novice when it comes to the poi and I'm struggling to get my head around some stuff but I'm willing to stick at it and have a good mate helping out with some pointers!

I am hungry, I am incorrigible, I AM MAN!!

'We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad." [said the Cat.]
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "Or you wouldn't have come here."
