Red, White & Screwie

Rutgers University attempted a Guinness World Record a few days ago. A university setting a record? Awesome! It's got to involve beer and projectile vomiting, right? Nope. Then sex, surely? Longest daisy chain?! Guess again. That leave food, huh? Most buffalo wings consumed in an hour, without projectile vomiting? Not even close.

No, Rutgers University decided to get their geek on in the worst way. Eclipsing the last big nerd record -- highest Guitar Hero score -- and looking like a mass breakout from nearby Rahway State Prison, the school went with the squeaky clean "World's Biggest Gathering of Where's Waldos".

They easily beat the record, with over a thousand Waldos showing up. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a projectile vomiting record to attempt.

Organized, no doubt, by whomever has the Where's Waldo hat/shirt/glasses concession.

Bev said...

Where's Waldo is still relevant? That's news to me! Thank you, Rutgers!

The Buffalo wing eating contest sounds like "Screaming Anus A'fire" waiting to happen. Just sayin'.

Frank-That'd be the same guy who previously sold his soul.

Bev-Trust me, it's news to the other 6,771,566,127 of us. And isn't "Screaming Anus A'fire" a new 6 Flags roller coaster-thru-tunnel ride?

Bev ~ Screaming Anus A'fire...fucking love that!

Where's Waldo gathering...what on earth made them want to do that? Hmmmm...I wonder why they didn't give "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" theme a shot. Maybe next year!!!!

Was Rutgers looking for positive media attention after the Imus incident? FAIL.

Harmony: The scariest thing is that there are apparently several groups clamoring for this very record. "We're bigger dicks!" "No, we're bigger dicks!"...

Reverse OJ: The Waldo hat turned it into a "Where's The Nappy Headed Ho?" game.

The video didn't load the first time I visited. Wowsers. There's more douchebags there than at a Hookers For Hygiene convention. (Was that a stretch? It felt unnatural.)

Unknown said...

hhhmmmm, what would have been really cool...is all those waldos drinking beer, eating wings AND projectile vomitting together.

Bet there's no record for that....

garrito said...

JessO: That totally works for me, and definitely more colorful than "more assholes than a proctologist convention".

LocoStacy: No daisy chain?

Samsmama said...

I got nothing. Literally. Video won't load.

But I loved your question to Stacie. And loved reading that you did not dance to Abba last night.

Stupid ass video. That's what you get when you embed a New Jersey video. Maybe I should have embedded it in some wasteland outside Secaucus, Soprano-style. Fugghedaboudit.

How 'bout a little ush-hay on the ancing-day?

Mary said...

sorry- no video for me either...but tell me more about the ancing-day?

garrito said...

My ips-lay are ealed-say. (And, no, it doesn't involve The Go-Go's.)

Samsmama said...

Friday night and the lights are low....

garrito said...

I've got my ear muffs on. La la la la la...
