b Dear
Professional, Sometimes
when I juggle my clubs go too wide, what can I do? Also sometimes
they tell me to hurt people. Am I o.k.?
Concerned Dear
Concerned, You're
fine, your clubs are sick, don't listen to them! As far as keeping
your pattern from going too wide, concentrate on the angle of the
clubs, holding them straighter and not letting them angle away from
you as much. When I have a problem similar to this I try to
overcompensate the opposite way so that I can understand the full
spectrum of what motion is possible. Then it's easier to choose the
optimum tosses. Also be sure that you are turning the clubs enough.

Friend, You
have several options: 1) Shave and tatoo your head. 2) Be huge and
beat everyone at combat. 3) Change your name (Preferably to
"Bob") 4) Just bounce up and down while you juggle.
