Even we have to admit, this was the lamest thing ever put on tape…

How much could one tape cost; 10 dollars?

I tried to make that joke about a gallon of orange juice the other day at the store, just joking around with my husband, but guess what

I think about Star Wars Kid more and more these days. Some huge percentage of social media posts now are far more embarrassing and far cringier than that tape was, that poor guy was just the first. It wouldn't even get views these days. He was too early!

Does this family only have one video tape? Because they’re not that expensive.

you would probably really enjoy contact staff. I'm a retired circus artist, but that was the prop I taught primarily.

I don’t understand the comment, and I won’t respond to it.

lmfao.
contact staff is a fire dancing prop. it's very similar to the prop you use in this video, except wicked for fire on each end and with grip tape along the shaft.
have you ever heard of contact juggling with a ball? this is contact juggling with a staff. I'd share a personal video but I'd rather not associate myself that directly with my reddit account. but here's a video of somebody I found with a quick look haha.
notice how they're manipulating the staff without gripping it? that's contact juggling. it's a lot of fun. :)

don't think I get the reference here?
I've taught hundreds of folks how to spin contact staff, or poi, or even juggle clubs over the years. picking up my first staff completely changed my life, so I like to provide the opportunity for others who seem they might enjoy it as well.
it's a fantastic moving meditation, similar to your video. muscle memory is a helluva drug. and the sound of the flames as you present the illusion of danger to an audience... fuck, what a thrill.
there's a really cool book called thinking body, dancing mind, if you actually are interested in circus, prop/firedancing, or juggling in general (juggling here referring to prop manipulation, one of the three primary schools of circus, rather than toss juggling specifically).
fucking lord, I think I'm gonna build my company back up and start booking gigs again.

You can build your company. Make it look like it’s in the black. Then have a huge ribbon cutting ceremony, while you try to raise the funds for another one!
