A neat poi thing I can now do

I posted this on Facebook a few days ago, but I'm proud enough of it to spam you guys. It's way fun, too, when I get into a good rhythm.

AWE. SOME. <3 I am very squeeful over you a) spinning poi b) to THAT SONG.

If you click through to YouTube and read the video description, it says I had that song on in the background because I thought it would make you happy. (This is partially false. I actually had that song on because it's really damn catchy.)

Squee! (and still more squee. it IS. heh. Although the way the word "drugs" is bleeped out of the Official Complete Video is HILARIOUS to me. Because "___, give me ___, I don't need it but I'll sell what you got" just sounds... interesting.)

Hah! That reminds me of the "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" skit Mike told me about in which they played "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music and bleeped out every single word except the phrase "tied up with string."

Ah, I clicked on this video expecting

poi¹

(Cookery) a Hawaiian dish made of the root of the taro baked, pounded to a paste, and fermented

And not realizing that there was also

poi²

(Social Science / Anthropology & Ethnology) NZ a ball of woven flax swung rhythmically in poi dances

But it is a very nice trick you are doing there.

Also, I get to use definition list HTML code, which it seems LJ at least accepts.

Tyler had the same reaction. I think the crosswords mostly use the Hawaiian dish to clue POI.

This is SO COOL. You are amazing.

Thanks! One of these days I'll put together some kind of actual routine with these things, instead of posting short videos of individual tricks.
