My friend- “You got spacers in the yoyo, man. That’s cheating!”
Me: -dismantles alpha crash- "the spacers dont really do anything, it’s the bearing that most people say is-
My friend-“NOOOOOOOPE! SPACERS.”
And a little kid said, “Is that like a diabolo?” strangling sounds
(on an unrelated note ALOT of peeps say im never getting a GF if I throw at all… oh and after i do something like yuuki slack, they just are bored and walk away and watch somebody text or something… sigh )
I kind of get it. These are wide, don’t have flat sides (unless you have one with caps!), have smaller diameter, and don’t just go up and down. But I can’t help always wondering to myself (even though I do NOT say anything to their face to make them feel bad about the question): “What else would it be?”
I had mentioned to my wife that kendama is all the rage right now with throwers. The next day she was out jogging and saw a kid playing with a kendama, so she asked him “do you yoyo, too?” He didn’t. I like to think that on kendamaexpert.com he’s posted that story in the “Weirdest thing you’ve been told while playing with a kendama?” thread.
Someone else- “It does that automatically.”
Me- “Yup, I had wires implanted in my arm so I can do this.”
Someone else- (In a completely straight face) “That must have been expensive…”
Based on the person who said this, I am positive they were serious.
I was at my church and a kid who is regularly amazed by me comes up
Kid: “do you just like live here and yoyo”
me: “ya bro, i have food and school delivered to me and sleep in the backroom. Spend the whole day practicing”
He believed me for a good 5 seconds before figuring it out, lol.
