Tonight I'm going to see if I can develop a new comedy juggling act for a show this weekend, proving that even idiots are addicted to the heady rush of deadline pressure.



@ckeen

Ish. It's a silly idea I had to make fun of 'dangerous' juggling acts, which rely on risk of injury to demand attention rather than performance skill.

He said, justifying his desire to do something stupid on stage.

@RussSharek Ah! Running chainsaws! Living snakes! burning chairs!

@ckeen

little white animals of clothing?

ken la mi tawa lon kon e soweli lili? :)

@ckeen

You give me great hope for the stupid idea I'm exploring. :)

"soweli walo lili" (little white mice) perhaps?

@RussSharek I never get the modifiers in the right order it seems :)

You could start with introducing very dangerous animals, or a real mouse, then by magic trade it for the plush replicas and juggle them.

Get a dangerous item from the audience, pretend to set it on fire to make it more dangerous, take some ridiculous huge knives instead....

@ckeen

One thing I have learned over my years as a performer is to let my audiences enjoy my performances rather than guide them.

Otherwise I'm making a lot of demands on them, and they genuinely want to see me kill myself or set something on fire.

@ckeen

Thank you. Hard-earned experience.

@ckeen

As for the , remember the noun comes first and the adjectives second, in order of import.
