Yo! Yo!
My friend at work has a yo-yo. It wasn’t a nice yo-yo. It was a gimmicky yo-yo. Seeing that yo-yo took me back to a simpler time when I could forget my troubles as a youth whiling away the hours in a state of yo. I attempted to show him a trick with it. The classic and very easy monkey-climbing-the-tree but instead I broke the yo-yo. Here is a picture of the broken yo-yo.
Because of a tangle in the line right at the axle the yo-yo won’t sleep, so now it is mostly useless. I decided that the right thing to do is buy my friend a replacement yo-yo like this.
I haven’t decided whether I am going to buy it for him or not.
In any case as I searched this internet of ours for some things related to yo-yos I thought it would be cool if I could find a video clip of the Smothers Brothers, because they played with yo-yos. Instead I found something that is deucedly cooler. Asian kids who know yo-yo tricks. (You need Google video viewer. Get it HERE)
Then there is this video about yo-yoing.

The Duncan is resplendant. Maybe you should get it for yourself. On the other hand, taken together with the car, all this would spell “midlife crisis.” I’d still get the yo-yo though.

I saw your yo-yo. It reminded me of younger, better days when we were carefree and happy. When ‘walking the dog’ was a feat of monumental proportions.
I think I also hit you once in the head with a yo-yo, but I pretend not to remember that.
