I can contact juggle, though I'm way out of practice.

The first time I saw contact juggling live, Drac0, it blew my mind. It has a mesmerizing quality to it.

I can build bicycle wheels. It comes in handy.

I can ride a skateboard doing a handstand. And I'm only 50!

It does.. The first time I ever saw it was in the movie Labyrinth and I just had to learn how to do it. I walk around the office and contact juggle my oranges or other fruit when I bring them.. Now that's playing with your food!

Labyrinth is so cool. Not just for Jennifer Connelly, but David Bowie was amazing!! I always wondered if he was actually juggling those balls himself! That stuff blows my mind.

I should look that up and practice. And I really need to learn to moonwalk before I die too.

It wasn't actually David Bowie juggling the ball, it was an actual juggler who's name escapes me at the moment who basically reached around David Bowie and did the contact juggling. Amazing feat, making it look so incredibly smooth and fluid all the while not being able to see the ball.

The guy's a frickin master. I can't even do a butterfly pass anymore and that guy did it blind while hiding behind someone else's back!

I just looked it up, the juggler's name is Michael Moschen. Truly a God among men.

I found a TED video of him. Very interesting.

Oh, now I have to watch that movie again!

That guy must have a lot of balls! (feel free to groan over that one!)

I am able to make leaps in spacetime, but it seems that I can only do this when I'm drinking heavily. Now if I could only control it when I was sober.
