    I personally hate this. This year, I have gotten a couple of peeps into dama with my friend, and now we are the Kool Kendama Klan. Not the best name, and the initials don't sound to respectful too.

    Might want to change that initialism. As a suggestion, maybe try:
    'Fun is Undergoing in the Club for Kendama', or the FUC... oh wait

    Aww man, that's unfortunate. Thankfully, it's just a playful insult at worst in my case.

    True!!! I think everyone who says things like this to us don't have a proper frame of reference haha. We are mere ants compared to gods like Bonz. :eek:

    You think kendama is the cure for pretty much anything: stress, yep; losing a nicotine addiction, uh-huh; finding a way to change your oil without actually touching the engine, that too. It's very Zen. Hmm, maybe there's a book there: Zen and the Art of Kendama Mastery (ala "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance")

    Hahahhaha this reminds me of a Top Gear episode where Jeremy fixed a sign on a train that read “Eat English Muffins”, and much later a section of the train got left behind, tearing the “ins” away.

    I like where you're going with this, but I don't think IKEA is a good example. If we produced kendamas IKEA-style, they would be made from particle board and cheap veneers :p

    Man, I can relate to this so much. My parents reprimand me a lot because of how dented our wood floors are now.
