Submission:

Thou shalt not give orders, and should take thine own advice.

Whelp, the deadline has passed - hereā€™s our definitive Ten Commandments of Yo-yoing:

[b]1. First shalt thou attach the Holy String, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Return-Top of Caribou Lodge into a Green Triangle, who being untangle-ible in My sight, shall land it.

  7. Thou shalt not ask for a recommendation in the wrong section of thy forum. And he who does shall be stoned with comments of a slightly condescending nature from his brethren. (phil the lizard) (2 votes)
