National Yo-Yo Day is a holiday celebrated annually on June 6 to commemorate a toy that has become an international phenomenon. ***Donald F. Duncan Sr. saw Filipino immigrant Pedro Flores*** using it during a business trip to San Francisco in 1928. Flores named the toy "yo-yo," a word from his native language meaning "come, come." The following year, Flores secured funding and manufactured over 100,000 of these wooden yo-yos. > El Día Nacional del Yo-Yo es una festividad que se celebra anualmente el 6 de junio para conmemorar un juguete que se ha convertido en un fenómeno internacional. Donald F. Duncan Sr. vio al inmigrante filipino Pedro Flores usándolo durante un viaje de negocios a San Francisco en 1928. Flores bautizó el juguete como «yo-yo», una palabra de su lengua materna que significa «ven, ven». Al año siguiente, Flores consiguió financiación y fabricó más de 100 000 de estos yo-yos de madera. Finally, Duncan bought the initial yo-yo rights from Flores and founded the Donald F. Duncan Company. The rest, as they say, is history, as Duncan sold yo-yos all over the world. National Yo-Yo Day was created in 1990 by ***Daniel Volk of Arcade,*** New York. He wanted to create a holiday to celebrate the yo-yo, and he chose June 6th as the date because it was Donald F. Duncan's birthday in 1892. > Finalmente, Duncan compró los derechos iniciales del yo-yo a Flores y fundó la empresa Donald F. Duncan. El resto, como se suele decir, es historia , ya que Duncan vendió yo-yos por todo el mundo. El Día Nacional del Yo-Yo fue creado en 1990 por Daniel Volk de Arcade, Nueva York. Quería crear un día festivo que celebrara el yo-yo, y eligió el 6 de junio como fecha porque era el cumpleaños de Donald F. Duncan en 1892. ***What was Volk's interest*** in the yo-yo? He was a yo-yo demonstrator for the Duncan Toy Company from 1976 to 1978. - The yo-yo was invented more than 1,500 years ago, and its origins can be traced back to ancient Greece. - The yo-yo became extremely popular in 18th-century Europe. - Until the 1960s, yo-yos were made of wood. - In 1985, NASA took a yo-yo into space as part of its "Toys in Space" initiative. > Cuál era el interés de Volk por el yo-yo? Fue demostrador de yo-yo para la compañía Duncan Toy Company desde 1976 hasta 1978. El yo-yo se inventó hace más de 1.500 años y sus orígenes se remontan a la antigua Grecia . El yo-yo se hizo extremadamente popular en la Europa del siglo XVIII. Hasta la década de 1960, los yo-yos se fabricaban de madera.

Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our 'Family Time' to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting **6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST**. We always try to have a little fun and and if you're paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn't all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it's about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them. > Bueno, hola, ¿nos extrañaste? ¡Te extrañamos! De hecho, tanto, que hemos reprogramado nuestro 'Tiempo en familia' para los viernes ¡y esperamos verte allí! Únase a nuestra encantadora banda de marginados, normativos, tontos, proxenetas, degenerados, profesionales y todo lo relacionado con dentro y fuera y entre y a partir de **6 p.m. CST/ 7 p.m. EST**. Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos. It just may be worth your time to [visit the Castle](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) and come check us out. Unlike the 'Addams Family' shows, all of this is live, unrehearsed and not recorded before any audience. Funny things happen. Sad things happen. Smiles and tears get shared. Worries and hopes are passed around. Sometimes, we even eat #pizza, cake and ice cream. Sometimes, we watch movies. Sometimes, giant insects attack the microphones and we have to get out our silly swatters and smack 'em up so we have something to snack on because the popcorn got eaten already by little slugs that left slimy trails everywhere and made the sidewalks slippery so that the pancakes didn't get enough traction on our canoes to steer the spaceships. Exactly. > Puede que valga la pena dedicar tiempo a [visitar el castillo](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) y venir a vernos. A diferencia de los shows de 'La Familia Addams', todo esto es en vivo, sin ensayar y no grabado ante ninguna audiencia. Suceden cosas divertidas. Suceden cosas tristes. Se comparten sonrisas y lágrimas. Se transmiten preocupaciones y esperanzas. A veces, incluso comemos #pizza, tarta y helado. A veces vemos películas. A veces, los insectos gigantes atacan los micrófonos y tenemos que sacar nuestros tontos matamoscas y golpearlos para tener algo de comer porque las palomitas de maíz ya se las comieron pequeñas babosas que dejaron rastros viscosos por todas partes y dejaron las aceras resbaladizas para que los panqueques no tuvieran suficiente tracción en nuestras canoas para dirigir las naves espaciales. Exactamente. https://youtu.be/olucW6ar6Q0
