Thanks to Video, Yale Jugglers Are Getting Laid To-Night
We’re sure juggling is hard and all, and this clip, from the Yale Anti-Gravity Society, is certainly impressive. We’d probably kill ourselves just by attempting three of the bowling pins, whereas the YAGS guys use flaming torches and what appear to be scimitars. Honestly, though, we’re pretty sure our grandmother could have edited a better promo video with nothing but a spool of 8mm filmstock, Scotch tape, and her teeth. And setting the whole thing to the Transiberian Orchestra’s goofy “Appalachian Snowfall” and using up every last video transition in Final Cut Pro does little to dispel juggling’s reputation as a refuge for well-coordinated outcasts.
Unless, of course, it’s one big joke — which it clearly is. After all, these are the guys who put on a show last semester entitled “The Iliad - with juggling.” The group’s leadership positions include “Minister of Armaments” and “Minister of Fresh Blood.” So good luck, guys: if keeping ten fiery sticks aloft at once doesn’t translate into social and romantic success … well, then there’s something very wrong with this world.

All right another chance to slam you evil ivy league american pussies. Have you been out on any baby murdering spree’s earlier in the morning and are currently occupied with trying to occupy your pathetic conscienceless time? Do you have some other way planned to laugh off the extermination of 6 billion,buillion,bullyillyn, bulliun billyun people or so. I had to make sure and use lots of nearly correct speelings for billion so you dumb yanks would be sure to at least get the idea it wasn’t a misprint. Hey load warriors how’s the one brown one in your shorts. You gettin laid? unlikely even if you were to want to pay for it. Oh yah that’s right you cheap yanks like to keep your cheap whores offshore in say Thailand so you can make like foley and prey on some innoc3ent pages. Hey gettin laid huh, nothing like the one dimensional american brain, killing and stealin makin like satan by day and pretending to be Jesus Christ to get laid by night, ooooh what super heros. Hey the cia won’t let me comment here , aw shucks that just breaks my heart almost as much as say america getting a buttplug of sorts an asteroid from space with kansas labelled on it, pitched from behind the sun and no time for you to fuel up your space shuttle much less stop the rock. It’s time for some biblical smackdown. All you terrorists drop your weapons and watch GOD give america the butt plug it so deserves. Bye Bye satan america, the whole UN laughed at you sickos, gallows humor.

Are these guys trying to make a political statement, or just acting like asses? Not sure. But they’re definitely from Penn.

Uh, what the hell is comment #1? It might have been offensive if it wasn’t so incoherent. And juggling is one of those skills, like bowling or miming, that it’s sadder when you’re good at it.

jesse-
juggling is awesome. don’t be a jerk.
and you when you speak in the subjunctive, do it correctly. you’re making us “evil ivy league american pussies” look bad. ‘if it WEREN’T so coherent.”

sounds like #1 got rejected from his ED school

Ah, the grammer nazi . . . I should have expected as much on an ivy league website. The subjunctive is the domain of pretentious english majors and dead poets. Time to move on to the indicative.

Heh, make that “grammar”. It makes me wonder where I would be in life without Word spellcheck.

Pale end is some fierce training. Social way is some dear roulette casino game. It’s likely to be poked! The person has one dependent roulette game download. Outstanding age is an experimental roulette flash. Eh, one roulette games is much less clean than the careful health.
