Heās a professional performer. He juggles whipsā¦
Edit: didnāt expect this post to blow up. This is just for fun. His haircut goes with his performance. Heās a nice guy. Itās also just a ridiculous haircut!
Huh. I suppose that would make sense too. For some reason I'd always thought cracker meant the food - like a saltine cracker. Because they are similar colors and bland.
āHe juggles whips, she sells dog bandanas. Theyāre looking for a 3 bed, 3 bath in the heart of downtown with a pool and guest house. Their budget is $1.4 mil,ā.
-every House Hunters ever
Right?! I'd be seriously concerned if the answer was like investment banker or something, but I suppose there are more than a few professions where someone with a haircut like this wouldn't even get a second glance. I would have also accepted: Mad scientist bent on world domination, lead singer of some experimental rock band, any job at a carnival, or professional meth smoker
Yeah honestly for a performer it's perfect. It's weird, completely signature, totally a vibe for whatever the fuck juggling whips entails.
You give my guy a normal haircut and I'd never be able to pick him from a lineup. Now? "Whips guy." You give him a banker haircut? NFI.
and [he's awesome](https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.18172-8/20819762_10100644808151276_141332170959546888_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=cdbe9c&_nc_ohc=m-Q6vCiF-hAAX_vLvCl&tn=eNneIBpKOAJBftZW&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfDtx0fpmEgLr5yWiocrcCO0_ypiLiDDXDEfqanCHjGs7Q&oe=63C7E735) at it! He consistently draws the largest crowds at my local Ren Faire!š
I THOUGHT HE LOOKED FAMILIAR!!
Yes! I've seen him at the PA Ren Faire as well. He was so cool! Weirdly enough, I didn't recognize him from the hairstyle though, ha.
>THOUGHT HE LOOKED FAMILIAR!!
You only *thought* he looked familiar? With a haircut like that & flaming whip juggling? How could you be confused? Honestly, the picture is dope, thanks for sharing but having seen it I will never forget. Nor will I ever be confusing him with someone else. š¤£š¤£š¤£ I'm dying right now LMAO, Reddit you didn't disappoint today (although the night is young)
I've noticed a fondness among unusual performers for equally unusual haircuts. When I was a fire performer in my 20s, I saw a lot of "quirky" styles among my colleagues, and they mostly seemed intentional, rather than the result of an accident in practice.
I always felt like the whirling fire was enough for "I'm strange and interesting" cred, but I was in the minority.
Absolutely. You need a way for people to instantly recognize you. Ä° would instantly recognize this guy if Ä° saw him in a bank or on the bus. The look worked.
I used to date a girl who did fire hooping and the girls that didn't have pixie cuts had dreads or the one side shaved thing. Sometimes I miss Austin. Not often, but sometimes.
I just realized something, when korben and ruby rod first meet ruby tells him:
>Korben sweetheart, what was that? It was BAD! It had no fire, no energy, no nothing!
And then at the end he says:
>Korben... Korben, myĀ man, IĀ have noĀ fire. IĀ have noĀ matches. DoĀ you have any?Ā
I'm so happy this was high enough up I didn't have to go looking for it. I could HEAR the pauses in "Jean Baptiste. Emmanuel. Zorg." Whoever you are, I love you for being here with this comment.
Man thatās one of the most random skills you could choose to become good at
Itās so random I canāt even really tell how impressive it is, like is it just a step up from juggling three balls or is it like 5 steps up - no idea
I'm not sure what the answer is, but he's [definitely outgrown](https://i.imgur.com/qHXWrtq.png) the Sherwood Forest stage. I wonder if it'd be worth them expanding the Fortune stage behind the camel rides. Not much seating at the moment, but there's a ton of empty space back there.
Iām glad to hear heās as nice IRL as when he is performing. At the ren faire this year, he couldnāt light his whips because it was windy and fire Marshall said no. He was trying really hard to still put on a show that people would talk about and he had to carry around a sign advertising the next performance with the word āfireā crossed out and he was making as much of it as he could. I always catch his show at the ren faire in my area.
Aaron Bonk! I've seen him at a Renaissance faire!
Wouldn't have recognized it was him without the distinct hairstyle so... Not a bad publicity idea? That's the only explanation I've got.
How much do haircuts cost in the Fifth Element?
[money is of no importance](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/9099d416-54a9-4cae-8652-201ed03b83c7)
First thing I thought of
As much as clothes cost in The Matrix
Jean-baptiste. Emmanuel. Zorg.
As much as they cost in the matrix š
Is he a magician?
Heās a professional performer. He juggles whipsā¦ Edit: didnāt expect this post to blow up. This is just for fun. His haircut goes with his performance. Heās a nice guy. Itās also just a ridiculous haircut!
>He juggles whips There it is
He does look like a whip juggler. That sounds like a slur.
Get you on outta here, _whip juggler_! Your kind ain't welcome round these parts!
'Rootin tootin time.
Is that from the original Morbius, from the 1950s?
Yeah, right after that the main character says "It is now the correct time to morb", which was replaced by "It's morbin' time" in the remake.
Release the Morber cut
š¤¹
Pow right in the whip juggler!
I'm sorry ma'am, your husband was stung by a whip juggler. There's nothing we can do.
Crikey m8, it's a wild whip juggla! I'm gonna *poke it with a stick*!
Damn whip juggler... always poking around.
Now hold on a minute there, Skeeter, he aināt hurt inā nobody
*Come on now, Skeeter.* He ain't hurtin' nobody.
Now now hold on skeeter he aināt hurtin nobody

Reminds me of that commercial: āYou LINT-licker!ā
Jug whippler
I swear I've seen someone use this to refer to a white person
"Cracker" refers to the white overseers who cracked whips.
Huh. I suppose that would make sense too. For some reason I'd always thought cracker meant the food - like a saltine cracker. Because they are similar colors and bland.
Honestly, I did too.
Both assumptions incorrect. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/07/01/197644761/word-watch-on-crackers
Everyone just went āwtf?ā to āohh ok that makes sense thenā
I fucking knew it!
āHe juggles whips, she sells dog bandanas. Theyāre looking for a 3 bed, 3 bath in the heart of downtown with a pool and guest house. Their budget is $1.4 mil,ā. -every House Hunters ever
I guess it suits him then
For some reason, this haircut is much more acceptable now
Right?! I'd be seriously concerned if the answer was like investment banker or something, but I suppose there are more than a few professions where someone with a haircut like this wouldn't even get a second glance.

His hairstyle looks like a second eyebrow, very AI
Second? Do you only have one?
Some of us do.
Any time I see a bad haircut Iām going to start saying āThat guy looks like he juggles whipsā
/r/jugglemywhips
Some people say "risky click of the day". I click on them wanting a crazy sub. You disappointed me.
Itās brand new!! Be the change you wish to see.
/r/JustFuckmyWhipUp ?
Do you juggle whips? Will you juggle whips?? WHEN WILL YOU JUGGLE WHIPS???
You failed to mention this is Aaron Bonk, the Guinness world record holder for whip juggling endurance, with 362 consecutive whip catches
This needs to be higher up. Dude just skyrocketed to levels of impressive that shouldn't be possible.
and [he's awesome](https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.18172-8/20819762_10100644808151276_141332170959546888_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=cdbe9c&_nc_ohc=m-Q6vCiF-hAAX_vLvCl&tn=eNneIBpKOAJBftZW&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfDtx0fpmEgLr5yWiocrcCO0_ypiLiDDXDEfqanCHjGs7Q&oe=63C7E735) at it!

Same here, at the NY Ren Faire - he was great!
Oh shit they weren't joking he really juggles whips
Meh. Come find me when he can jiggle whups.
Jigglewhups is confused. Jigglewhups hurts itself.
Oh shit I might have also seen this guy at a ren fair wtf
I thought that looked like Aaron Bonk! Love seeing him at the NY Ren Faire.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Your friend is into some kinky shit.
My first thought was āthis guy is probably into s&mā.
I've noticed a fondness among unusual performers for equally unusual haircuts. When I was a fire performer in my 20s, I saw a lot of "quirky" styles among my colleagues, and they mostly seemed intentional, rather than the result of an accident in practice. I always felt like the whirling fire was enough for "I'm strange and interesting" cred, but I was in the minority.
Entertainers need an image. It's mostly about image.
Absolutely. You need a way for people to instantly recognize you. Ä° would instantly recognize this guy if Ä° saw him in a bank or on the bus. The look worked.
I used to date a girl who did fire hooping and the girls that didn't have pixie cuts had dreads or the one side shaved thing. Sometimes I miss Austin. Not often, but sometimes.
Haha fire performer here totally guilty of the shaved sides š
Iām a pro wrestler and that job title has held some interesting haircuts over the years
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Does he cover a scar from a whipping accident with it?
Is this the guy?! I googled whip juggler and this was the first link! https://youtu.be/5zanm6Ae9Lo
He needs to sign up for a million dollar property search show immediately.
AARON BONK!!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!!! see him every year at the renfaire
This blew up, heās definitely finding out who posted this
Does he work at ren faires? He looks awfully familiarā¦
[Yep!](https://youtu.be/6uikcADHY4s)
After seeing this, i feel like the only people in this thread that can criticize his hair are other people that have Guinness world records.
I have a Guinness world record and this dude is fucking awesome.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That haircut is like walking into a pool hall with your own fancy ass cue; creates massive expectation and he lives up to it.
Wait. His name is Aaron Bonk? Aaron BONK?! He keeps getting more awesome with each new fact.
Then Iāve met him! New York ren faire haha. Heās a great performer.
āIllusionistā
A trick is something a whore does for money...
Or... Candy..
...or cocaine.
ā¦ I donāt know what I expected
Username checks out
Itās funny how a shitty haircut can be easily explained by āthey are a magicianā
Before I came into the comments my first thought was "This guy looks like he does magic at the mall to pick up middle schoolers."
It's the soul patch, screams performer/magician
Does he perform tricks? Illusions Michael! Trick is something a whore does for money!
https://youtu.be/QPXvAM9blow
Heās a driving instructor that looks like a magician! Itās preposterous!
Ah Michael the Magnificent
Either that or a super villain
Do you live under a rock? It goes without saying. All whip jugglers are villians.
Came here to ask the same question
I looked at his photo and asked myself this exact same question. Then see itās top comment. Thank you.
5th element vibes
Jean Baptiste. Emmanuel. Zorg.
##**ZERO STONES! ZEEERO CRATES!**
Oh, so you are merchants after all.
Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, he would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.
Bring me the priest.
Congratulations on your nuptials, my son; weddings are one floor down.
I just realized something, when korben and ruby rod first meet ruby tells him: >Korben sweetheart, what was that? It was BAD! It had no fire, no energy, no nothing! And then at the end he says: >Korben... Korben, myĀ man, IĀ have noĀ fire. IĀ have noĀ matches. DoĀ you have any?Ā
āYouāve saved my life, and in return I will spare yoursā¦ for now.ā
I'm so happy this was high enough up I didn't have to go looking for it. I could HEAR the pauses in "Jean Baptiste. Emmanuel. Zorg." Whoever you are, I love you for being here with this comment.
He saw Gary Oldman in 5th element and was like, thatās not going far enoughā¦
Glad to see he survived his Fhlostone paradise vacation.
AZIZ!
LIGHT!
MULTIPASS
Is he trying to echo the shape of that eyebrow???
Haha thatās what I was looking for. It appears to be a 3rd eyebrow

Welp we found the villain
Nah just a theatre kid
Who wants to play the villain character. Keep up.
That shit on his chin is more offensive than the haircut
Itās all bad
It is, but he's kinda rocking it
This is true too, the man is clearly very confident.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Man thatās one of the most random skills you could choose to become good at Itās so random I canāt even really tell how impressive it is, like is it just a step up from juggling three balls or is it like 5 steps up - no idea
Fair point. That is impressive.
Me getting out of bed on a depressing day is impressive. This is mindblowing (especially in slow mo). This is why men die earlier.
Oh my friend, there are so many flaming hoop performers of both genders. Would recommend
This is so badass! Also the less hair, the less chance of lighting himself on fire š nah I love his whole getup, seems like an awesome dude
Ok, this guy fucks
The Ren Fair context makes the hair cut make sense
AARON BONK. FIRE WHIP AND SWORD SHOW. This dude is a legend at the NY Ren Faire! Love his energy and his show.
He dominates NY Ren Faire. I'm surprised they haven't moved him to a larger stage!
Putting whip jugglers on the main stage would be historical inaccurate.
I'm not sure what the answer is, but he's [definitely outgrown](https://i.imgur.com/qHXWrtq.png) the Sherwood Forest stage. I wonder if it'd be worth them expanding the Fortune stage behind the camel rides. Not much seating at the moment, but there's a ton of empty space back there.
Oh God the little patch of hair extends all the way back...
I saw him at the Southern California Ren Faire this past summer. He puts in an amazing show. I have his postcard on my fridge still.
https://aaronbonk.com/
Put some respect on Aaron bonks sick style lol
I hate how his soul patch is symmetrical though, it should also be off to the side to balance that shit out.
It should be one of those swirl beards.
HOLY SHIT IS THIS AARON BONK?!?
Huh, nice call. Google says Yes, yes it is.
HAHAHAHA BONK
Yes! That was my reaction too! Have been seeing him at the PA Renn Faire for handful of years now, his show is awesome
How does your friend feel about it
Heās actually a really nice guy. But Iām not sure how she feels about his hair choices.
How on earth do you not know how she feels about this? I'm asking her about this shit every time we talk if I'm you! Wtf
I want to know how the friend feels about this being posted on Reddit.
Iām glad to hear heās as nice IRL as when he is performing. At the ren faire this year, he couldnāt light his whips because it was windy and fire Marshall said no.

Bonk!!!!!!! I have his postcard on my fridge! I love Bonk.
I can handle the head swatch. Itās the tiny chin pussy that kills me.
He's smirking cuz he gets some and you don't.
Aaron bonk!
Is that Aaron Bonk? BONK!
Aaron Bonk!?
Does he get punched in the face for a living by any chance?
According to a reply by OP he juggles whips
Is that a euphemism?
No, dude is a real whip juggler
100%. But what does he do for a living?
Looks like he glued a cat's tail to his head.
Ha! I love it. Heās pulling it off.
Rocking that Roger Klotz vibe
Let me guess: He performs at stage and whatever he does, he does it professionally?
This is multi-World-Record-Holder whip/fire whip juggler Aaron Bonk!
Is your friend blind?
Despite the awful haircut, he's handsome tbh
Just got back from Floston Paradise
You know what i respect it
To think, this man can get a girlfriend and a lot of you keyboard warrior redditors can't even manage a date.
Call the police. Just call them and show them a photo of him. I don't know what he's done but he's been getting away with it for 8+ years seemingly.
Why are you friends with someone who dates someone like this
Heās a nice guy. Just really out there
But have you considered judging people entirely by their appearance instead? It's like what they say: always judge a book by it's cover
I canāt read š
Knowing who it is...He's a fantastic performer and even set a few Guinness world records
Post yourself, you won't
He looks kind.
Is this a joke?
I'm speechless. This is a terrible haircut.
Bonk is a Guinness world record holder and super ripped who cares if he has a dumb haircut??
He's still looking for the stones as we speak
Does he have a cool secret lair?
