You could do umbrellas... it's just like giant club swinging I guess at the end of the day:P Yeah scarves are pretty wicked tools for poi! Ass well as thumping people when you have a huge knot on the end!

Umbrellas work better as staffs IMHO...

Has anyone mentioned oven mitts? Or the fresh fruit aisle at Sainsbury's? Wink

Hahaha! Oven mitts!? They make for awesome slapping weapons but never spun them as poi or anything lol.
Also if you take a ball of socks and stuff them inside other socks you got uber soft practice poi!

You forget dude, I'm a contact juggler. Wink

Watermelons are easier to contact juggle... But they make your tendons ache after a little while. Anything citrus works wonderfully. I've also used onions... Apples... Contact makes you slightly more limited to round things only though...

Hell no it's not off topic! We're on a roll here!

Right going into more depth you can get points based on the following:

- Size of items based on small, medium and large.
- Number of items juggled, 2, 3, 4, 5+
- Number of different tricks pulled off.
- Price of the items (there'd be a scale for this).
- Attract a crowd (a point per person perhaps).

Then you'd lose points if you:

- Drop an item, points deducted using the price/points scale.
- Get busted by security or sumthing lol.

(need more ideas for points lost!)

hmmmm points lost.... yeh dropping/breaking (gutting really as you have to pay for it as well)

hitting people with said objects?

you win hands down if you walk out the store juggling things and not paying for them (im not condoning shoplifting) this is merely to test the security Wink

EGGS are ideal because their cheap and even if you have to pay for them its not your job to clean up the mess u make!

Even better, juggle some eggs drop them and then slip over in the goo.....bingo, big compensation (just make sure theres no witnesses that see you drop the eggs first).

I also wonder if you could make it look completely accidental so you get extra points if you manage to blag it!

I'm not sure you could convince someone that you accidentally removed three eggs from a box and started juggling them, before dropping one and slipping on it... Razz

Felixwah · Posted: Tue 06th Nov, 2007 12:25 pm Post subject:

yeh just say you where inspecting them for breakages one slipped and beacuse your a juggler you instintivly started juggling only to be knocked by a fellow egg inspector resulting in a bad egg accident you turn around to call a worker and slip.

art of blag im gonna write a book one day Smile

Right! I have come up with "The Rules" God I love my job!!

Supermarket Juggle

Objective: The aim of the game it to outclass and outscore your opponent utilizing several expensive supermarket products and applying your juggling knowledge to execute the most deadly and complicated juggling tricks imaginable! In the allotted time of ten minutes!

Victory would be decided using our specially designed points system.
Loss would be getting your balls handed to you! Muaha!

Points Earned

To earn points you must do the following to ensure your victory:

Juggle as many items as you can per juggle.
You get one point for each item that is in your juggle. So for example if you juggle six Oranges. You get six points.

Juggle the biggest items your hands and arms can manage.

You will be rewarded points based on the size of the items you juggle. Ranging from 1-4 points. For example:

Anything up to the size of oranges would be one point. Then up to the size of cabbages/lettuce would be two points. Then up to the size of melon would be three. Watermelon and above would be four points.

Juggle the most expensive items you can! But be prepared to pay for them!

Again it will be based it a scale. The more expensive the item, the more points you get! For example:
Anything up to £10 would be a point.
Anything from £10.99 - £15.00 would be two points.
Anything from £15.99 - £20.00 would be three points.
£20.99 and above would give you four points.

Use the most complex tricks you can in your juggle!
You will only be allowed to juggle one trick per juggle.

These tricks will be noted down and calculated at the end judged on style, difficulty and diversity. For example:
If all you do is Cascade, you only get one point for that through out the entire game.

The number of tricks you do during the game will be added up, earning yourself one point per trick.
The difficulty of the trick will be scaled from one to three points by our panel of judges.

Points Lost

It could happen to you! You could lose a number of points based on the following:

Dropping your goods. This will result in a points deduction equal to what you earned for juggling it. So if your Cascading three oranges and you drop two of them. You lose two points for the Oranges as well as points for the combined price (About 50p) so that’s a point as it’s still under the £10.00 price scale.

If the item breaks then you lose three points. Doesn’t matter if it’s a mushroom or a sewing machine. You’ll lose three points!

If you get caught by staff you lose two points!

If you get caught by security guards that’s three!

For the above you may redeem yourself if you can blag your way out of it. If you do you get two points for blagging the staff member and 10 points for blagging the security guard!!

Bumping into customers. You lose one point. But, if you get moaned at that’s a further points deduction. If you make a recovery and make a joke of it then you don’t lose points for moaning!

Instant Victory / Defeat

Instant victory can only be achieved if someone has earned instant defeat.

Instant defeat is the result of someone leaving the battle grounds. Or breaking something really bloody expensive!! Or injuring someone!!

This concludes the rules! Happy Juggling!

This is reminding me of the bogeys game that Dick and Dom did in Da Bungalow.

I will never forget Chris Moyles in a silent art gallery shouting bogeys at the top of his voice and wetting himself after!
