What about a yo-yo appeals to me? I guess it's contemplating the forces at work on a well thrown yo-yo. There's that crucial slipperiness as the string slides against the axle for as long or longer than seems possible. Then being able to introduce just enough friction at the last possible moment to bring the trick to a satisfying climax....
*ehem* -- well, perhaps it's best left unexplained
I bought another yo-yo today. (I know, I'm just a yo-yo buying fool.) This ones not quite the high tech marvel that the last one I talked about is. It's just the basic model made by the same company, but it works pretty good. It's about the sleepingest yo-yo I've ever used. You just have to know how to work a yo-yo do do tricks with this one. I'm actually getting halfway decent at it. Too bad Tommy Smothers is the only person who can make money off being able to work a yo-yo. ;-)
Okay, I'm really excited tonight. I bought a new yo-yo! Hey, this thing is neat. It's even got a "brain." The brain is actually a clutch that's activated by centrifugal force. It let's this thing sleep until the spin slows down a bit at which point it automatically returns. I think it's neat and I'm happy, so y'all just leave me alone and let me play with my yo-yo.
