The really weird thing is, the other day I saw a list of some of the updated records in the Guinness World Records, and it was such an entertaining piece of craziness that, for a few minutes, I got completely distracted from those more urgent things that I should have been doing. Like a breath of Calgon, I was carried away in a drift of abandonment from everything else that had far more significance. Not to mention a higher priority. I can only imagine that the only thing better than a PRINTED LIST of this nonsense would be PHOTOS of these record holders. And while I’m certain there are pictures out there on the internet, I fortunately snapped out of it and came to my senses—I did not take the time to go find pictures of these record holders. Actually most of the things on this list I wouldn’t want to see because they would be hard to unsee, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I’ll let you go search for pictures if you want; just don’t forward them to me. I’m good with not seeing pictures.
