Clarification: Pins and Clubs

I have a TR friend. 
(TR means Therapeutic Recreation, but we TR people get tired of saying it, so we shorten it)

Anyway, I have a TR friend.  We were walking past the library this week, talking about juggling (don't ask me how we got started on that one).  

I guess there is some confusion as to what jugglers actually juggle.  Some juggle balls, some juggle blocks, some juggle eggs...

And some juggle clubs, not bowling pins. 

They do look alike - I'll give you that much, TR friend. 


BUT, they are still different.

Bowling pins are specifically for bowling and juggling clubs are specifically for juggling.  That's that. 

... 

While researching for this post, I came across a video.  I ate my piece of humble pie.  For you, TR friend: 


That man is juggling bowling pins, not clubs.  At the same time as riding a BIKE, no less!  

Let me just say that juggling with clubs is waaaaaaaaaay more common.

There you have it, TR friend.
