u need a tv duke

[NathanielEverist]

Yeah, I've got a TV in my room, but Australian TV sucks so bad that there's nothing to watch.

[TransMissioning]

I was just kidding around. Im sorry. My sense of humor is a bit, harsh. I really dont realize it sometimes.

However, i REALLY did find this interesting. It was my second time seeing this sport, the first time being two seconds before seeing this one.

I did watch the whole thing. I would never be able to grasp that, if i tried a mill times.

Your awesome. You rock. And I loved nicole kidman in that austr movie... :)

[NathanielEverist]

Huh? Hey man, I wasn't offended or anything, I know you were just kidding around. Even if you were trying to be insulting, I'd probably just assume you were kidding around because that's how I am. I didn't think for a second you were being nasty, but yeah, Australian TV does suck, I was serious about that, lol.

I'm glad to find it interesting, you should take it up, and don't say "I would never be able to grasp that", I've heard many people say the same thing who are now competent spinners.

If you do wanna learn, check out my other videos, they'll take you from the very beginning onwards, and it's a pretty fun thing to do.

Oh, and I never saw the Australia movie, because I thought it looked kinda lame and cheesy, but I'm not much of a Nicole Kidman fan, Botox has ruined her ability to act.

ha you look like my father...when he was younger

[NathanielEverist]

Considering how you look, I'll take that as a compliment.

i am rewatching some of these old videos, and you have me cracking up laughing with your commentary....mmmm, tasty.

You've taught me how to do poi. With an amazingly entertaining australian accent, and a good sense of humor. Wish you could teach me calculus, or accounting. Might make college a bit more fun. Thanks again!

"mmmm...tasty"

lol wut?

seriously thanks for all the lessons though. It's an endless source of amusement for me. My older brother tried to turn with a 3 beat weave whilst saying how it was "so easy". He failed...painfully
