That's beautiful.

Guessing we're within a year or two of each other. I'll be 31 in July.
I'm 25. I misread you said Nylon belt. Mine were those khaki colored fabric ones :P
Oh, yeah that's what they were, but kids at my school did them super bright colors.

Funny that the same trend was around for kids 5-6 years younger. That hit when I was in 4-5th grade, so you guys would have been K or Pre-K :lol:

Lead isn't happy that I'm leaving a little early for this appointment :thisisfine:

"I was about to assign you something that has to be finished today"

Sends me the email anyways, and he's been sitting on it since Friday. Snooze you lose broski. I could have done that if you'd given it to me first thing.

How companies like your employer’s manage to survive with such shit management baffles me.

This is what I had. Not my pic.

Imperials were the established favorite, but Gold Awards seemed to perform better.
Butterfly's were popular, too.

Pretty sure I had a Duncan Butterfly at some point.

Funny seeing Cale's link.. the Yomega Fireball was the one to have at my school..

Weird style that I just remembered from that point in time.. those webbed nylon belts or whatever they are, in bright ass colors, and wayyyyy too long so that the excess belt after going through the buckle could just about drag on the ground.. I specifically remember this kid Randy Talpas' bright green one.
I have no idea what this is.

When I was into them it was all about who had cool springs in their's and how long could they walk the dog for.
:wtf:
"In my day" you walked the :doge: with the proper wrist flip and your string attached to the axle of the yo-yo just so. You did tricks with finesse, not with mechanical assistance. :wap:

How assholes like this dude survive in any company baffles me. Bossbro shit-canned someone last week after just 6 months of different but equally frustrating shenanigans.
