Rule #1 of Hula Hoop club

Don't hula hoop and drink beer when you're actually ill.

It'll make you throw up.

In my madness 

I did actually learn that I could hula hoop

for about 10 seconds around my foot.

Go me!

And I learnt how to do the helicopter 

in a small space.

Go me!

How does one practice in public (in a park)

without people like me laughing at them?

Case in point: 

Southern Cross train station one wintery Friday night

there was a guy doing the Goblin King crystal ball thing...
