This product is not for everyone, admittedly. You probably don't even own a yo-yo. But there are people who take their yo-yos very seriously and need to protect them when they travel -- because god knows they're not going anywhere without their yo-yos. Ha! Not likely, pal. Travel without a full compliment of yo? I don't think so. A yo-yo is a friend, a companion, an all-purpose tool not unlike a Leatherman, an exercise accessory, and a solid chunk of flying self-defense.
Seriously. Ooh, it's dark here in this underground garage below the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, where I've just won a bucketful of big money at the crap table, where everybody liked me and was cheering for me! I suppose I should have cashed in the chips and hired a bodyguard like the Floor Manager suggested, but I think the chips are so cool and I wanted to hold onto them -- they make a great sound when they click together, and I like when you give a waitress a tip with a chip instead of paper money like always. And my waitress at the bar over by the exit that goes to the pool, well, let's just say we're really hitting it off. She refilled my coffee way more times than necessary, and every time she bopped over, she was like, "Hi hon! Drop of hot?" which made me smile every time! I showed her a quick Rock the Cradle on the way out. She was dazzled, all right. Anyway yeah, this garage is dark. But I'm not scared of that, because in the elevator, I slipped Big Jilm's string over my middle finger, and he's locked and loaded. Big Jilm is a yo I had fabricated to my specifications by this guy I met at the last con who can make a yo-yo out of anything -- he can do temporary joke ones out of food, like the avocado yo-yo that he Around-the-Worlded right into a Cuisinart to make Guacamole, which actually tasted really good, and he even had one made out of paper, an origami one. He made Big Jilm out of titanium (the frame), lead (the weights), and surgical steel (for the blades). I've tested the action, and my weeks of practice will serve me well if any punk tries to come between me and my bucket of chips. I can decapitate a Barbie at ten paces, buddy. So you think twice. Think twice before you mess with Captain Yo. 0 comments |
