Ok, it had to be done, so I am doing it.
YOU MIGHT BE A FIRE SPINNER IF:
*You have set fire to your clothes more than three times in your life.
*(Men only) you have hit yourself hard in the nads at least five times in one day.
*You are no longer bothered by the puzzled look on the cashier's face as she rings you up for three cans of white gas and a pack of bic lighters.
*You always have a lighter on you, even though you don't smoke.
*Your idea of a good time is to spend a night making strangers stop and stare at you.
Any others?

you chose gambit as the character you're going to a comic character-themed fancy dress party purely on the basis his weapon is a staff and it's motivation to learn some moves

u dream of a day when technology becomes advanced enough to make fire poi without any wires attached a completly rational concept

You'd rather not take the plane than leave your poi behind.
Ask a question and be a fool for a minute...don't ask and be a fool your whole life.

I'm not sure whether this thread makes me scared or proud... Am definitely guilty of Xmas decoration poi and swipe card spinning. Hell, all of it. 
You close your eyes at night and see twirly fire patterns
The person sleeping next to you is twitching and fire spinning in their sleep
You look at building machinery and think 'antispin'
You've been contact spun around someone's body

If you spin you're bags of groceries like poi.

You're reading this thread.
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

You don't bother putting a lightbulb in the ceiling light and just light the room with a desklamp safe in the corner...

You destroy half of your socks while searching for the best ones to make sock poi from.
When you read the first "sock" word in the sentence before, you immediately think of sock poi instead of realising I meant socks for wearing
i totally thought that! then i read second bit...went 
...reread & laughed a lot! also...you might be a spinner if most of your holidays are planned around meeting up with people to spin firey things...
(no really...my last three holidays involved common ground 06, christmas/new years 05/06 trip to melburp (included sunday spin), & common ground 05!!)
do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!
