Circus Life - That Burning Sensation


Despite having a healthy relationship with fire for about a decade now, it never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to get burned doing mundane things. They say "don't play with fire unless you want to get burned", but really they should say "don't make a bagel hastily unless you want to get burned".

Circus Life - GPS


I am certain that every time my GPS tells me that it is "recalculating", it is really secretly judging me.

Circus Life - The Game


Moral of the story: if you are in a communal living scenario, label your food, or prepare to defend your honor.

Circus Life - Cologne


Some people really love their bacon. I've seen bacon chocolate, bacon-wrapped corn dogs, even bacon-wrapped chicken on a stick.

Yup. That exists. Don't believe me? Check out the Tulsa State Fair! They have deep fried butter there too, but that's a different story.

Circus Life - Higher


Everyone that has ever performed in front of an audience knows "that kid". If, for example, you juggle four balls they will want to see five. If you do five, they want to see six. Nothing will sate their voracious appetite! Nothing!

Circus Life - Costuming


Sometimes, it's not good enough to just be a fire eater, or a juggler, or a contortionist. Sometimes, the client is putting on a special themed event, and wants all of their entertainers to adhere to said theme. Sometimes, the client has a thing for mollusks.

This idea is almost entirely stolen from a real conversation.

Circus Life - Eyepatch


This is a very real problem with juggling. If you ever encounter this problem, I recommend upgrading to goggles. Goggles help with anything, from juggling to chopping onions!
