Poi? Vas ist poi? All I can think of is a Hawaiian glue-like food that you have to "acquire" a taste for

And poi, sock, and fire? Dip socks in poi, then put them on people's porches, set them on fire, ring the doorbell, and run?

It's gettin' impossible to understand this younger generation these days...

D30 for joining... cool

I remember when I told someone I was going to bring some six-sided dice into work one day. He looked at me strangely... "What do you mean? Aren't they *ALL* six-sided?"

Gave him an education, I did...

We're still doing 2nd ed, with a bit of 3rd mixed in via some feats.
I'm actually playing tonight!

..shame, gotta get my Survivor pics in!!

I can understand the confusion Bungleau. All my dictionary searching has only turned up the Hawaian food product.

However it was accompanied by this add which may shed some light on what DS is talking about when she says the juggling group has poi: http://www.homeofpoi.com/shop/listItems/Fabric-Poi-sets

I know a guy who can juggle and ride a unicycle at the same time. Or so he claims.

Here's a link to one of my best friend's website. His name is Dave and he's pretty good at a lot of stuff.

He's a busker by profession.

Nice find, FSA! That site's home page starts out with "what is poi"...

Quote:

What is Poi? - "Poi" is the Maori word for "ball" on a cord. Poi is a form of juggling where the balls are swung around the body. Poi can take many shapes and forms from LED lighted, Glow, Fabric, Sock and Fire.

Now I stand under...

Dragonshadow · 10-02-2008, 11:16 AM

Yup, that's poi

I use the kind which are balls on a string on one end, and ribbons attached to the other. You can make very nice patterns with them.

LOL! I was trying to create the new Cafe when my pc pointer froze and the thing kept trying to access a dvd for no apparent reason, so I shut down...apparently it sent this!

Indeed.

I think she's trying to avoid a branding issue with Yori myself!
