If anyone is interested, or has tried and wants a second shot. I’m ready to pass on a Pay it Forward with a Panorama and a Fat Tire. I added modified Side Effects and a narrow bearing that allow them to play responsive. If you haven’t tried the Panorama responsive you’re missing a very fun experience.

So I was taking a Pay it Forward to the Post Office to send on to the next person. The girl at the Post Office asked what was in the box and I said yo-yos. Her face waxed nostalgic while she worked. She then came back to say that she hasn’t played with a yo-yo for such a long time. I shared with her the fact that, if she ever got enjoyment from throwing yo-yos that she would very much enjoy them now. I shared the story of how the particular Pay it Forward that she was processing worked and turned her to the forum. She seemed excited at the thought and even commented how the technology must have advanced. At that point another customer came in and I had to leave. Perhaps another convert has been made. Maybe even a new Boomer. 🤣🤣

I vote for the way you have it. “Yoyo Boomer Club”

Question on the acronym; Yoyo is one word? So would it be YBC?

First Post Members updated - Up to 38 Boomers so far.

If you look at all the other things that abbreviate yoyo, they use 2 y’s. WYYC, IYYF ect. But i personally like it spelled out also.

I believe most abbreviations have 2 Ys due to the spelling originally being Yo-Yo or Yo Yo. It’s common to just use yoyo as one word now though.

Being this is a “get off my lawn” Boomer’s club, maybe 2 Ys makes more sense?

We shouldn’t just jump into a decision like this. Let’s form an Acronym Committee to look at all the options…

Edit: I vote YYBC.

Edit2: I recommend we call the committee the Committee on Brainstorming Ridiculous Acronyms, or COBRA.
