Congrats Eric- Nice to see that you're still juggling strong, and a world record at that! I still think about glow-in-the-dark juggling balls during assemblies back in Vermont. You were always a great entertainer and all-around person. Keep it up! - Vinny

[@habojspade]

Do we know that W.C. Fields invented it, or was he just the earliest notable performer?

[@EricBates]

Yea fair question, I’m not sure. He’s definitely an easy reference that people are familiar with but I’d be surprised if he invented it. Does anyone know?

Hell yeayahhhhhhh
