No "I don't think I own a yo-yo but I'm not particularly sure?"

I've tried to yo-yo over the years; never got the hang of it.

Crap...I voted that I didn't know what a yo-yo was. I do know and I don't own one (doubtful that I'm in the market).

I thought (absentmindedly) that this thread was about a new offering from the donut place (I know, DUNKIN). I should read carefully before voting.

Re: Duncan Yo-Yos

I have one or two kicking around.

It was something of a fad at our dorm in college. I learned a few simple tricks: sleeping (of course), walk the dog, spank the baby, around the world, and rock the cradle.

Re: Duncan Yo-Yos

When I'm working on something that becomes mind numbing sometimes
I stop and Yo Yo for a minute or two. Very therapeutic...

This is my model, made of wood or something wood-like:

I remember having the imperial and the butterfly when I was a kid. I wish you included "I used to yo-yo" as an option.

Another option: "I have a yo-yo, but the string is all tangled up so it's unusable."

Lunchpail and his 4th grade buds went through a yoyo phase in school earlier this year but it seems to have died down after they all got video consoles for xmas.

I strongly recommended he get a Duncan Imperial over a cooler-looking one with lights but didn't "sleep."

Overlooked poll answers seem the norm here, we always miss
another choice or something.

Haven't had one for about 60 years, and I don't intend to get one now.

Had many as a kid and up thru my teens. I guess I haven't touched one since I was 20 yrs old. I knew all the tricks. Couldn't always do them all but I knew 'em.

Re: Duncan Yo-Yos

I believe I had one as a teen for a short stint, and probably did as a younger kid as well, but never really was much into them (sez the idiot with a juggling habit).
So that puts me in the 'Don't own one / don't expect to be getting one' category.

Re: Duncan Yo-Yos

I spent many long winter evenings during my pre-teen years in Duluth, trying to master tricks with my Green Duncan Imperial yo-yo. I have a yo-yo made of maple hardwood that my wife gave me as a stocking stuffer 20 years ago. Haven't messed with it in years, but it still sits on a shelf in the stereo cabinet behind my computer desk.
