I think I found the dumbest fad ever: Contact Juggling. I thought the Devil Sticks thing, the advanced form of baton twirling, was stupid. I looked the other way though because it made every hippie that used them look like a glorified band camp member which is always funny. And when you go on camera wearing flood pants it’s even funnier.
Contact juggling is very boring dancing choreography with a prop. You are doing acts of balance not juggling dumbasses.
Here is what I am talking about:
Real juggling is passé apparently. The new cool thing is take one crystal-looking ball and move around with your hands never losing contact, the obvious opposite goal of normal juggling. Or take a bunch of balls and rotate them around your palms.
Dude I do the same thing carrying three drinks in one hand as a waiter. It isn’t impressive. Try doing that and carrying a tray with four plates of food with the other hand.
Of course if it was a real crystal ball it might have this to say:
Besides, half the time he is holding the ball and waving it around like, well someone holding a ball and waving it around. Sometimes he’s walking around or spinning around with it balanced on his head which is weird and highly unimpressive. It also makes me wonder if he had debutante training which would not help his cause in any way.
This is not exactly an entertainment renaissance here either. We went from juggling different things in the air like chain saws and knives, which is pretty impressive to juggling batons to having a glass ball roll around on our arms. Clearly this is a regression because the only people that would find this latest fad entertaining either smoked a huge blunt or has an IQ of 60.
No wonder why reality shows are so popular.
Humor-blogs.com thinks contact jugglers should be beaten with the ripped-off limbs of mimes.

I feel 20% more effeminate just from having watched that. Fortunately I need to go to work, and I do heavy labor, so that should clear that up.

How about the creepy part where he peers out at you from behind the glass balls?
