answer to me personally I think people confuse the two and think everyone who juggles is either training to be in the circus looking for a job in the circus or is in the circus someone asked me that this summer I turned and walked away my highschool senior project is going to educate people on juggling circuses skill and those who prefore acts based upon minimal skill even if the audiance is one of them and I hope that they will obtain knowledge and appreciation for true technical juggling and not bnch all juggling into the same difficulty level as one bozo the clown
(jason said alot of this I must give him credit for most of what is written here)

Generally, if you quote a whole post, you adress all the questions/issues in that said quote.
Yet you seem to avoid the whole Garfield question like one would avoid the plague.
Hey wait... this isn't social chat.... my bad.

Begin?? So what happened to the rest of your post, or did the dog eat it? So I'll ask again.
Any thoughts on the above, or are you gong to ignore me again?

allow me to begin by adressing the circus issue I believe there is a confusion where about 90-95% of all people think all jugglers are in the circus I and trying to break this chain

Duuuuuuudehow come you admire Jason Garfield so much?? And keep on quoting him, his he your idol? Do you want to be him?
How come you never post about Thomas Dietz and the stuff he does, Thomas loved Jason Garfield and then completely overtook him?
I'm really surprised that after spending so much time learning clubs and flats etc. that you are so blunt and ignorant of what we (other posters on this thread, and some of the other threads you've started) have to say. Most of the jugglers I know are always too happy to share tricks and have a laugh. Bit then again, there's a first time for everything...

Pre, I know you're bothered by the harassment, but it just comes with the trade, you know?
Ive been unicycling since I Was 10 and juggling since I was 14 (I'm 19 atm) and I swear, people will never stop harassing you and it never goes away. Sometimes you met the cool people who you're happy to do tricks for, but just don't let the obnoxious people get to you. I just think "damn, these people are stupid" and unicyle away, or keep juggling, or wahtever.
I actually did learn in a circus, but I try not to let that cat out of it's bag unless I have to. Just make up stories for people, that's another good tactic.
for example.
STupid guy: OMG You can JUGGLE?!?! where did you learn?
juggler: My mother was a gypsy and my father was a lion tamer. I spent my youth touring Eastern Europe with my people
At this point the stupid guy will either be puzzled and leave, be puzzled and stare at you, or (if he isn't as stupid as we thought) laugh with you.
Just have fun with it, after all it's a fun hobby.

Exactly, they're not smart enough to get it, so the joke is on them. You get to go home and laugh about it and then they're thinking "Is that guy really a gypsy 0.o"

Did anyone else see the blatant attempt to lure Pre away from juggling and onto contact?
Or just an attempt to stop him juggling in general?
EVERYONE should read this...

We're with the DEA. We have a warrant to search this thread.
Im sorry sir, but we cannot do that. This warrant means that we must search this thread for evidence of illegal activity, with or without your help.
Threatening us with violence isnt going to work either sir.
Now stand aside or we will call for the dogs.

I'd hazard a guess that we're people who are no longer interested in posting about the original topic in this thread.
If a thread dies, then it dies. There's no point bumping it to complain, that's just how it happens.
Also, it's not your thread. The first post's yours, but the thread as a whole belongs equally to everyone who's posted in it. Even then, it's Malcolm's overall.
You might be, but don't put words in my mouth.
Yes, I was bored today.
