Not a fixed axle. Good responsiveness. No hesitation. Can anyone identify the make and model? I bet Larry does own some yoyos.

Hmmm. The slow motion makes me rethink things a bit. The response in normal time seemed different. Someone here will identify the yoyo. GO TEAM!!! Yoyo looks alot little bigger than a dollar store yoyo. It looks like wood.

I was watching Star Trek Voyager: Think Tank, and ran into this dialog.

JANEWAY: Yes?  
SEVEN: Captain, long range scans have detected.  
JANEWAY: One second. I’ve wasted two hours on this thing and I’m no closer to solving it.  
(It is a large object with at least six hexagonal sides and a couple of squares. The hexagons have a honeycomb of lights on them. Like a complicated Rubik’s cube, I suppose.)  
SEVEN: You can thank Ensign Paris for introducing the artefact to the ship.  
JANEWAY: He was behind the last ship wide craze, too. Yo-yos. Now it’s Sheer Lunacy. Another hour and I’ll go insane.

Dangit. Voyager mentioned yo yos? I’ll have to watch through it a 3rd time… That one’s actually mine and my wife’s favorite. Slightly above Next Gen. Faster paced.

It’s good, but has more than It’s share of silly episodes. The episode where Janeway and Paris have salamander babies and leave them on a planet is a prime example.

It’s goofy. And what’s his head, Neelix can be annoying… But some of the best characters too.

Didn’t want to like it either… But end up thinking about it every time I give an estimate to the boss on how long a job is going to take. Have to account for plenty of time to goof around. And better to get done earlier than to overpromise.

One of the many life lessons I gathered from Trek.

The one that sticks out in my mind is the episode where Neelix and Tuvok are combined into a new person due to a transporter incident. That was pretty ridiculous… But my favorite show of all time is Magnum, so my tastes are on the corny side.
