Let's talk about juggling!

[PorkPi]

Any jugglers on this site? recently I've become a juggling enthusiast and it's a pretty neat and fun (albeit pretty useless) skill. So far I've gotten into:

three ball juggling:

Contact juggling (less so):

I just started practicing with cigar boxes:

and I've practiced a little with hat manipulation:

(of course none of these videos are me, just included as examples)

I'm just a beginner. Any other jugglers? Please share tips, trick sites, or even videos of yourself.

I often juggle masturbation and posting on internet message boards.
EDIT: I thought this post was treading the thin line between humour and off-topic spam, until I realised it could be classed as "contact juggling".

This is ****ing awesome.

I've always felt that juggling is just a cheap fallback for those that can't breath fire or swallow swords.

 

[Stigmata]

Nah, you've got it backwards. Breathing fire and swallowing swords is for people with no coordination.

 

[Darkside55]

No matter what you do, you can never become as awesome as Shark Juggler.

That cigar box juggling is possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen.

 

[YROC]

I can juggle small objects like tennis balls. Never thought of it as anything but wasting time.

@the cigar box video - That was confusing the hell out of me when he was grabbing boxes from the sides with hands opposite of them. Like he had three hands. @_@

 

[KiplingsCat]

My father used to juggle for a living.

I'd love to be able to juggle, and I keep meaning to learn. It would be so cool. I'm very clumsy though.

Juggling is cool and all, until it's you and a buddy trying to pick up the same girl, when suddenly he starts juggling, to her vast amusement. God damn it.

Don't worry, I doubt he's that good at juggling relationships, and that girl will be heartbroken when she finds out.

Also... that cigar box juggler would make Catch from GTA IV suicidal.

funny to see people whit a almost useless skill that I dont have will earn more money that I will ever earn in my lifetime

Who are way cooler than jugglers.

 

[ríomhaire]

The cigar box guys looked like he had three hands.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Once I went to a party where everybody else, and I mean everybody, was capable of some quirky stage trick like poi sticks, fire breathing, belly dancing, or, of course, juggling. Everybody was demonstrating their cool, demonstrable-on-the-spot skills to each other, while I wandered around smiling thinly and nursing my effectively invisible skill at, oh, I don't know, essay-writing. Who did these arseholes think they were? What right had they to be so good with their hands, to have such fun in the physical world I was deliberately trying to lose contact with via alcohol? What the hell use was juggling going to be to them in later life? It was the most unpleasant experience. To hell with juggling.

Why didn't you pull out a piece of paper and draw a comic where all the dialogue was written in some obscure meter? That would've shown 'em.

 

[Mogi67]

I juggle my memberships in both the Black Panthers and the KKK

 

[Qonfused]

TALKIN' 'BOUT MY HOMIES

 

[YROC]

I bet your homies can't beat up my homies.

I'll be carrying pens and papers from now on, and remembering to always invite a colourist.

Who are way cooler than jugglers.

...and retarded.

But look cool...

I mean, I could do that if I was marginally more retarded than I am - It takes less skill and learning than juggling.
