Bust a Yo-Yo Move

While celebrating my friend Joe's birthday last week, one of the guests discovered a yo-yo nearby and started fooling around with it. When Joe saw what the guy was doing, he started one of his rants (as he always does when the opportunity presents itself) about as a kid he used to hate other kids who did all these trick moves with them like "loop de loop" and his favourite "walking the baby".

That last one caused everybody in the room to pause for a second before we realized that he actually meant to say "walk the dog". Of course we ended up busting his chops over his miscue because that's what we do (we're like a pack of hyenas when it comes to stuff like that). For the rest of the evening, we kept bugging him to remember other specialty yo-yo tricks. Here's a list of some of the them:

- Open the chute
- Heave the Havana
- The Full Monty
- Dropping the hammer
- Pass the poi (which lead to "Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side")
- Putting out the fire (with gasoline)
- Pulling the goalie
- F*cking the dog


So if there are any yo-yo masters reading this, I like to see you try and create tricks from the aforementioned list, especially the last two.
