Hey,

So, I just started a new job as a *cough* telemarketer *cough* (all warm calling I assure you), and we had pretty much a whole day of downtime last week. We happened to have a few sets of juggling balls in the office, and before the end of the day half the people on my floor could juggle three ball proficiently, includig me. :D

So my question is what proportion of NS general (and therefore the population of the world) can juggle?. Just trying to find out if I'm special.

I cannot juggle, but my first retail job required me to learn how to yo-yo. I never got really good at it like those crazy kids you see who can do any damn thing with a yo-yo, but I learned how to make it come back up again more than once.

...I doubt I still can.

I missed that phase where everyone was screwing round with yo-yo's, but I imagine its like riding a bike.

i never learned...:(

Meh. Motor skill approxia prevents my learning of this wonderful (if somewhat useless) art.

i never learned...:(

its not too late ;)

I used to be able to juggle four, but not from nothing. I had to start with 3, then have someone chuck in a 4th exactly when I wanted it. I might be able to still juggle 3, but I've not tried in years.

i never learned...:(
Oh and dude, I just clicked on the link in your signature. I do say good sir, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

lack of coordination is a debilitating thing :(

(not in the slightest and i doubt i ever could)

I can't, but my cousin juggles chainsaws for a living. I think that makes me a good juggler by association.

Mmm Hmm. How many fingers is he missing?

Two maybe, but 3 or 4 - nope.

I can do 3 balls about 20 times each before I lose concentration. Can't do 4 or more or any other kind of shape yet.

i learned to juggle 3 balls last octoberish.

Thats so cool. I just learnt how to cross from the inside to the outside with 3 balls, I wonder how far it is to juggling chainsaws from that ...

Mmm Hmm. How many fingers is he missing?
None yet, but he lost two toes back when he was doing flaming torches. Stupid hippie wore sandals during a show. :)

I can do 2 tricks with 2 balls and 1 trick with 3 balls....enough to make small kids go wild eyed but that's about it..

I smell a sexual innuendo.

haha. you have to actally hear the song some time. its one of the funniest things ive heard in a while...:D

its not too late ;)

ive tried, i just cant do it...

I used to be able to juggle three things at once, but I doubt I can these days, seeing that I haven't even attempted to do so in years.

I know I can still juggle three balls. I may still be able to juggle three clubs, but it's been a while so I'm not sure. I learned years ago, and at one point I was able to juggle five balls, but I definitely can't do that anymore. :p

I can't even juggle my finances, let alone three juggling balls...
