Random amusement

So I have this competence thing, and I really enjoy watching people be good at things, whatever those things happen to be.

A while back I ran across Fatboy Slim's video for That Old Pair of Jeans which features interpretive juggling by a guy named Chris Bliss. It made me smile and smile, so I went and found Chris Bliss juggling to The Beatles' Golden Slumber.

Seriously. Happy making. I LOVE these two videos.

And THEN I found out that Chris Bliss has this rival, a guy named Jason Garfield, and all the Jason Garfield fans leave critical and sometimes nasty comments on the Chris Bliss videos because Jason can do what Chris does but with FIVE BALLS and the Chris fans say well, HE'S AN ARTIST, and etc.

The fact that there are juggling fandom flame wars makes me laugh so much, I can't even tell you. As does the fact that, um, I have a favorite juggler. A favorite JUGGLER.

Yeah, I don't know either. Next up, a favorite accordian player? But all three of the videos are still totally cool, and the comments are a riot.

Heee, it's not me, it's the INTERNET. The internet is for porn and juggling, apparently, and there's no wrong in that.

And if there is I don't want to know about it because OMG, apparently I LOVE porn and juggling. *grins*

If you find the video of porn and juggling COMBINED, will we lose you forever?

And ahaha, can you IMAGINE?

The sad part is that I was imagining, and it took me DAYS to recover. DAYS. ;-)

(To myself: how WOULD they keep all those balls in the air? Myself: snicker snicker snicker, bwahaha).
