Extreme Yo-Yoing
Roland Piquepaille writes "Unless you're a dedicated yo-yo fan and a serious competitor, I doubt that you'll hand over $400 for a yo-yo. Even if it's a state-of-the-art hogh-tech yoyo made with a forged-magnesium-alloy and coming with the latest in axle technology. With this one, you can use the freehand style, meaning that your hand is not connected to the yo-yo, but is replaced by a small counterweight. In 'Reinventing the Yo-Yo,' Science News Online says 'its balance is ensured with precision tooling to micrometer tolerances by a computer-controlled lathe.' This long article doesn't solely focus on this luxury item. Instead, it looks at the history and the physics of the yo-yo, and includes many references. A good read for a weekend! This overview contains other details and extra references about the Freehand yo-yo."
I am trying to decide which I care less about: this extreme Yo-Yo, or the new AmigaOS. Any thoughts?
professor who owned one of these. Yes, he was insane.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio--Master Distiller Booker T. Noe was found dead in his Bardstown, KY home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him--even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to the Art of Distilling Bourbon. Truly an American icon.
Ever notice any item related to a hobby/profession that's regarded as 'professional' means to jack up the price several times?
A good read for a weekend!
Sure, if you are not out on a party, and looking for someone to score,
...theres even video games about them! I saw some game called YoyoFighter on my cellphone the other day. It was pretty fun, but what a weird coincidence. Hadn't thought about yoyos in years, now twice in two days.
It's kind of cool to see the euro juggling clubsare only $32 as I paid $27 for mine ten years ago.

If there were ever an article that deserved an ASCII goatse, its one about "Extreme Yo-Yoing". What the fuck? Yo-Yoing is not cool, no matter how much the damn thing cost.
Note to the auto companies:
1.) attach to bottom of cars
2.) sell cars
3.) profit!!

Sorry but the ASCII art version just isn't as repulsive as the real thing. You can even look at it without having to restrain yourself from gouging out your eyes.
Yeah but it's the only way you can get goatse IN the comments.
