09/4/03’s illustrious band:

Kwijibo

Brought to you by Bart Simpson.

“Kwijibo” or “quidjibo” is a word Bart made up while playing Scrabble in an episode of The Simpsons. His definition is “a fat, balding American ape,” an obvious stab at his fat, balding father, Homer. The word has since entered popularity as a band name (some alt/punk rockers got there before me), a nickname, an electronic word game and a complex yo-yo trick, among other things.

To see Kwijibo in action, click here and scroll down. The other tricks on the list are pretty impressive, too -- especially Buddha’s Fusion. Buddha's Fusion is based on a trick called Buddha's Revenge, which was invented by my friend Magic (known in competitive yo-yo circles as the Innovator).
