I learned, painfully, to use nunchaku many years ago with a hardwood set (signed by the late Pat Morita) ...which I may or may not still possess given their illegality in my jurisdiction.

These message-signalling mobile 'phones (where you jiggle the unit above your head and it appears to spell out Hi!, or some such inanity aimed at some disinterested babe / hunk / fellow desperado on the other side of a crowded club) seem wholly inadequate to me.

What's needed, if you want to send a decent sonnet or a bit of Valentine's Wagster Chaucer across a room is a bit of *area*, such as the large circular area that results from rapidly twirling nunchaku.

It would also be possible to program the LED display to form a large set of lips blowing a kiss, a picture of a rose or a puppy - or a large copy of your latest report from the clinic attesting to your STD free status.

       Let me guess, you are single, right?

       No, middle-aged grumpy old married fart actually :) Would never use this device myself, it's just a twirl of fancy - taking something as silly as a mobile phone message signaller and poking fun at it by taking the concept to an extreme. Plus it gave me a chance to name-drop, in a pathetic attempt to link myself to someone famous.

       I haven't tried twirling nunchaku in a club, but I expect that 20-stone bald bloke with the bomber jacket and the radio in his ear might have something to say about it. I would futher suggest that if you are using them to broadcast soppy messages in pseudo middle english, a word from the aforementioned goon may hurt a bit more than it might otherwise.

       Properly dressed, in a peach and lime Elvis disco suit and twirling a set of fluffy white fur nunchaku creating red letter love poems in the air.... who's going to touch you? [Sillie queynte] :0)
