Yo-Yos

Back around 5th grade I developed a fascination with Yo-Yos. It may well have been due to watching old Smothers Brothers episodes, and being fond of 'Yo-Yo Man' Tommy Smothers, who was the comic relief and evidently highly skilled brother. I actually got pretty good with them, able to do a variety of tricks that went beyond 'walk the dog' and as I recall culminated with the 'Eiffel Tower' that seemed pretty darn impressive, at least to me, back then. That was probably the pinnacle of my success at activities requiring physical dexterity. Well, I certainly can't do any of that these days, but was delighted to accidentally discover the site yoyoskills.com today. Of further delight is the insane video of an awesome young kid showing off his skills - so I'm breaking my increasingly not-adhered to rule of avoiding youtube posts, and here it is! Fish!
