i get the sense that they're including anything that hasn't been documented as a record just to justify their existence.

/i think i know the guy who ought to own that fart record.
//Seriously.

Ever notice that no matter how mature, educated, or supposedly refined you become, you're still really impressed by your own particularly long or loud fart?

"Alright, let's make a game of this. Can the next one be even longer/louder?"

A lot of the records are really just matters of planning and lulz. And in return you get a nifty little certificate from the Guinness people.

FTFA that I cant believe I read

Barry Bradford of Bradford & Hines Custom Metal Fabrication, who doubled the size of the original pot his company had made in less than a month after they found out a church in the former Yugoslavia had broken the former world record

Way to bring those snotty Yugos down a peg Barry!

They'll think twice next time they consider a way to bring some sort of happy recognition to their stupid town/country/whatever.

USA! USA! USA!

You don't have to be any good to get a record, all you have to do is think up some stupid thing there's no record for. The hard part is getting the Guinness guy to show up.

/Held a record once - for slicing bananas. How many slices can you cut a 6" banana into in a minute?

When I was a kid I used to love reading the Guinness World Record book, but it's just sad now. Seems like a time drain for the stupid and unemployed.

I wonder if there's a record for the "Most arbitrary Guinness record"

I had to drive through that shiat four times yesterday going to and coming from a community football game for 10 year old kids. Was more PO'd about the fact that people are now charging $4 a head for entry into the community level football game to watch your own kid play. I played all kinds of sports for over 10 years growing up and not once was anyone required to pay to watch that until high school, when the money went to fund upkeep on the facilities. I'm really beginning to get on board with everyone else in the world who hates the stupidity rampant in America. If I had money I'd be trying to get the hell out.

Stanley Long, Chief of the Cherokee Tribe of Northeast Alabama plays a wood flute at the tribe's booth at the Butterbean Festival.

If He is Cherokee, I'm a Freaking Inuit.

Butterbeans, dumbmitter, BUTTERBEANS!!!!
 
2010-09-05 08:51:21 PM
The world-record thing is just free publicity for the festival. They sell the cooked butterbeans and other food items to fund a lot of local charities for the year. The more folks that come for the world record hoopla means more money for the local charities.

Just because some representative does or does not turn up to witness the so-called record, doesn't mean it actually appears in the book.
