As the bloggers pre-launch Smirnoff Mule event was based around the circus theme, Johnny D’Juggler was on hand to teach.
Sometimes teaching very quickly.
Sometimes teaching quite slowly.
Sometimes teaching the secret of keeping your balls in the air.
And sometimes teaching the art of keeping things balanced and fast moving at the same time.
Talented guy.

The “cards” are actually the beermats used in promotion of the Smirnoff Mule drink. They look very distinctive. Personally they remind me of the traveling carnies that cross the US Midwest during the Great Depression the 1930s.
Probably not the intention of the drink makers (I’m sure they were after the roaring 1920s or the early 1940s, but still).
Their advertising is all circus based, as the TV advert embedded video below shows.
I’m not sure why, but I suspect part of it is to stand out from the other name of the drink, the “Moscow Mule”. Russia has great Circuses, but this way its an implied link rather than a direct one.
And you can have a lot of fun with a circus.
Now, I have to ask. Are photos of, well, photos a bit of a cop out?

… because I can.
As much as I would like to blame Grandad for giving me the idea I suppose I can’t.
I entered the “Best Blogging Website” contest at The Golden Spiders, partially because I’d love to live blog the show, but mostly because I can.
I think every Irish blogger, and blogger from Ireland, and every blogger not from Ireland but living in Ireland should enter this. Why… because you can. And I’d love to see what happens next. (Besides, Mulley should win it, but since when does the “should-have” actually become the “did-it”)
So I filled out the form and off went the entry.
I seem to be asked for a cheque for €0. I wonder if I should send one in?
take care,
Will
