Hiya and Welcome to Spherculism.
So what's your favorite colour? More people should post their favorite color. I spelled it both ways.
hello poiples
i like lots of colours so i cant really tell u hmmm... red, orange and bit of green, blue somtimes and urself?
hello poiples
Hello there and welcome. Hope to see you around lots.
Ireland, huh? I'm from the U.S., and haven't been able to see much on the other side of the Atlantic yet. Someday, though.
So I hear more people should be posting their favorite colors. Which is really hard when you like a lot of colors. Blues, purples, blacks (there are just so many shades
), and silvers would probly be at the top of my list, though.
hello poiples
Howdy achluo! Colors eh?
Okies. Mine's orange, ultimately, and not just the bright lufly one but also fall-ish orange or winterish orange, all shades really, tho for other preferred colors it'd be browns, greens, greys and tans...so I guess you could say its what you would find in forests maybe. I love natural stuff so.. yaah 
Those overall. -waves at emigre and raven-
-Poikid-
p.s. i'll be sure and put that in my intro whenever I update it again

hello poiples
Blue is still my colour of choice- It seems to be the cliche'd favourite colour doesn't it? (A bit like 7 being lucky etc)
Blue Aerotechs on way soon!

hello poiples

hello poiples
Salut Zoe !
Bienvenue sur Spherculism !
I'm from France too. Where do you stay in France ?
About the translations of poi in French, there is few words. The most used is 'bolas' but you can meet people who call that 'chaines' (often for fire chains) or 'kiwidos' (like the label) ... There is a lot of peolpe in France how swing with kiwidos. :roll:
I heard that bolas is a south-american word, a rope with two drags you throw between the legs of a person or an animal to stop and block him ... but I am not sure of that !
If you travel around south-west of France, come to Bordeaux ! Good wine, sun and lot of jugglers !
And the ocean at a few kms ... 
See you !
Fr?rique
Hmmm ... for Achluo, my favorite color ... black I think !

Yeah I'm with you on the Bolos/meteor likening Spiral- the bolos (bolas?) were a bit shorter than a meteor would roughly be, and I think they were swung around whilst being held by one of the weights then released, so the weapon would spin toward its target with both weights carrying momentum to then spin around whatever they hit, usually tangling an animals legs.
There is an example of some Q-Branch bolos in one of the bond films (i Thinks its the living daylights)... they exploded on impact
What a random post... sorry for extensive digression..
Chut
hello poiples
Depends... some where spun by holding one of the weights, some were spun by holding the middle of the rope.
hello poiples
I think that Porthos used those in the three musketeers
No, I'm serious
hello poiples
Funny you should mention that as I caught the end of that movie (wait...aren't there more than one?) earlier today. Didn't see that part though...
hello poiples
Teehee. Yah I think there are a couple versions but the one I'm thinking of has chris o'donald, charlie sheen, oliver platt and tim curry...well and lots of other main characters but what can i say, i'm bad with names
hello poiples
Trust me, I'm worse. Can never keep those actors straight.
hello poiples
hiya emigre
i may not be 100% correct, but i believe the correct french term for poi is "mes ballons de swingy swingy".
and my favourite use of a bola in popular media was William Shatner's "TJ Hooker" cop show
hello poiples
hehe, thats an original one where did u hear that from?
