There was a “contest” a while back surrounding this topic of discussion, so instead of reviving that thread, I decided to start a new discussion for the sake of, well… discussion.
So what are some habits/rituals/or obsessive compulsions that you have in regards to yoyos?
I’ll start:
I ALWAYS, and I do mean every day/all day MUST have a yoyo with me; usually in my pocket or on my desk while I work if I’m not playing it.
I also have this habit of storing my “plugs” [for the gaping 5/8" holes in my ear lobes] in the cup of the yoyo that I carried that day. I empty my pockets in one of two spots every evening- on top of my dresser, or inside my “man-cabinet” (lol). The yoyo I carried that day goes next to my wallet, and my plugs go into the yoyo.
I use wood plugs too, so they never ever get stinky or “cheesy” like with plastic or metal plugs- so it’s not gross.
Oh that reminds me: Whenever I feel like I wanna take a break I have to do a specific trick that I’m struggling on successfully before I put it down. It happens most frequently on 4a
I do the same with kendama and yoyo, always end on a high note for any throw I may be using, so that frustration isn’t the thing I think of when I pick it up again
I have a recurring dream that I’m on a plane that’s getting hijacked. For some reason the hijackers single me out. I end up stopping the attack with a red FH2. One strong loop disarms the first assailant. I get two perps at the same time with a mighty “around the world”.
The most unrealistic part of the entire dream is the fact that I’m using a prototype translucent red Freehand 2 that never leaves the house.
Edit: forgot to mention that right when the action starts that song “Holding out for a hero” starts to play, and that I’m still 20 years younger approximately when I started to have this dream.
