anyone out there juggle?

found a great juggling simulator today:

www.smallsquare.co.uk

I can do a simple three ball cascade, and occassionally one over the top, but that's about it, and eventually my left handed throws drift too far for me to catch.

I can't juggle, although I'll occasionally try, normally when drunk. These two facts might be related...

I can juggle browser windows, however...

I can juggle work with life very well- am often doing 3 or 5 things at once - unlike the Dodo who has to work down the job queue. Only thing is, I've never seen this job queue written down anywhere so I can't see where my new shelves for my sewing machine and silver work tools are on it.

I'd do them myself (after all I decorated the back room and put down the new carpet alone whilst the Dodo was away - and any bad jokes about a dead carpet will be severely punished!) but he's nicked my power drill and I can't find it anywhere!




I could be a millionaire - if I had the money........

Does he know he is "the Dodo" now?
;-)

Oh yes - the Dodo knows!

I do a nice line in entertaining children and scaring parents by juggling fire clubs. Usually to pithy comments from the children such as 'Daddy, is he supposed to keep dropping them.' Bless the little darlings...

and 'should the lawn be burning like that?'

:-)

It's only slightly charred. It'll be reet...

It's a good job they make one end hotter than the other. That way you know which end to catch.

Speaking of which, do you still have my unicycle? I must learn to ride it one of these days...

Yep. It's somewhere in the garage amongst all the other bikes...

I can't juggle, I've been trying for years, I'd get prizes for every throw landing in a different place mind you.Rob wrote:

In Denver, CO they have a Buskerfest every year where you can watch all manner of people juggling all sorts of interesting things.

I'd like to see somebody try juggling cats...

Far more dangerous than knives...

I did buy a set of juggling balls in a fit of misplaced optimism last year. Should have known better. I never mastered the overarm serve in tennis because I could never throw the ball straight up; it always went backwards, or too far forward. Funnily enough, my juggling balls keep doing the same thing....

I can juggle. Two balls or three, or sometimes four for a *very* short time... nice simulator. I can juggle other random objects that you can fit in your hand, but not clubs or bottles or anything dangerous. (actually, i've never tried anything dangerous on the grounds I can't even do clubs...)

I can juggle two reasonably symmetrical items at a time, but have trouble keeping three in motion for long.
On a related topic, when I and my younger brother were still quite young (say about 10 & 7 years old, respectively) we saw a television programme (probably David Nixon's Magic Show) in which somebody demonstrated plate-spinning. Imagine our mother's horror when she entered the kitchen a little while later to find us trying to balance some of her best china on top of a pair of garden canes! (But we didn't break anything, honestly...)

Oooh, i can spin plates, too. But only if they're proper plate-spinning ones with big circles underneath. One of my mates was really good with those diablo things.

I take it no-one has seen the Steve Martin 'kitty juggling' sketch? very very funny.
