relevant!

That wasn’t even the commercial they were shooting. He started juggling in between shoots and I guess they decided to use it.

Juggling is always what I’ve known it to be.

I’ve always known it as “juggling”, but I think “keepy uppy” is pretty standard across Europe.

I can’t see the video so I had to look up Keepy-Uppy, apparently officialy spelled Keepie Uppie. Here’s the world record:

The men’s record is held by Dan Magness of England, a 25 year old professional freestyler, who kept a regulation football aloft for 26 hours using just his feet, legs, shoulders and head; he completed the feat – which took place in Hong Kong, in June 2010.

God Daaaammmmn!

Urlacher officially done with bears

Cut him? Go somewhere else for more dough? He seems to have lost a step or 6 in the games I’ve seen.

I’ve played this game damn near my entire life and I have never heard it referred to as Keepy-Uppy. I knew I’d learn something today.

I think that’s the British term. Wasn’t sure what the American term was (if there is one substantially different) and didn’t feel like looking it up.

@Stabbin: I was in the same boat until I started hanging out with British ex-Pats four or five years ago. Hate the name though.
