So as our long time readers know, it is a dream of mine to always talk about becoming a Guinness World Record holder, without actually ever doing it. And not to brag, nobody talks more about it with less action than me! A lesson for the kids out there.
Anyway, I’ve had this guy, David Rush, pop up on a lot of blogs we’ve written about this topic. Most recently, we blogged about his record for consuming 1 liter of pure lemon juice in 17 seconds:
Apparently, this guy’s ‘thing’ is to break a ton of Guinness records. I can’t tell if I love him or hate him. I feel like he’s my rival? The only problem being that he has broken a ton of records, and I haven’t even attempted to break one. Also I know who he is, he’s never heard of me. Other than that though, it could be one of the great fake rivalries of all time.
I think on the pure lemon juice blog, I ventured a guess that it was breakable, if I could just get my mind past the taste. If I could train myself to just drink any liter of liquid in under 17 seconds, and I could put the lemon flavor out of my mind, I think I could do it.
This one? I dunno. 5,341 frisbee tosses without a drop in an hour seems like a daunting task. So many variables and chances to screw it up with one mental lapse. And if we’re being honest, doing ANYTHING for an hour straight is a pretty tough ask for my ADD brain.
In conclusion, I still think the lemon juice is the most ‘gettable.’ Tune in next time for ‘I think I could maybe break this record but I’ll likely never even try.’ Same bat place, same bat channel.
PS: A few weeks ago I was talking on the air (play a song!) about the world record for consuming an entire box of prepared Kraft Mac & Cheese. It was 31.5 seconds. THAT seems like one I could practice and beat. We all know it’s not a challenge to eat an entire box of mac & cheese, I just have to find the proper shoveling device to get it into my gob.
Double PS: I’ll tell you who might be able to break this Frisbee toss record:
