well, ok, I'll give you some more detail then - 3 Sundia 'Shining' triple-bearing Taiwanese diabolo's, 1 with black-aluminium axel and the other 2 with standard axels. all 3 axel's are extra wide for easy spinning. Cups are made from marble-pattern plastic, designed to resist scratches.Icecoldcynic said:I know exactly what a diabolo is, thank you very much >:{ And i'll have you know i wasn't too bad with it in my younger days.Simalacrum said:I got 3 new diabolo's, 2 new devil sticks, 1 new pair of diabolo hand sticks (they light up XD), 1 new pair of devil stick hand sticks (holographic patterns!), 1 contact juggling ball and a camera
I'm guessing most people only recognised the last part of that list of prezzies?
Still recognise what I'm talking about?
Keep in mind that when I say all this juggling equipment, what I've received isn't your run-of-the-mill stuff that you can get at your local toy shop. This is highly professional highest-quality equipment specifically designed for experts
I recognise what you're talking about the same way a guy recognises what a car dealer is talking about when he talks about V10 engines with a billion pistons. In that, i can tell it's good, i just have no idea how.Simalacrum said:well, ok, I'll give you some more detail then - 3 Sundia 'Shining' triple-bearing Taiwanese diabolo's, 1 with black-aluminium axel and the other 2 with standard axels. all 3 axel's are extra wide for easy spinning.

Well, a ball-bearing diabolo can spin about 8 times as longer than a normal diabolo. The Sundia 'Shining' has a triple-bearing system, meaning that not only does it spin even longer, but its also a lot quieter than normal-bearing diabolo's (which make a lot of noise). Furthermore, the material of the diabolo is designed to spin with stability, making is easier to do tricks and whatnot. its also pretty soft, meaning that it can take the occasional bump and scatch. the marble pattern just makes it pretty, but can also be a good way to tell how fast its going.
That a little better?
I got some Espresso Beans. Now I'll have to try an espresso, especially if they're covered in chocolate
Actually yeah, that is better. Congrats on that. But by the way you missed the point of the topic originally, since I was actually referring to the random badge you receive for being online at christmas on the Escapist.Simalacrum said:
