American , eh ?

Will Rogers , American humorist , ( a lecturer annoys , a humorist entertains ) said politicians are always asking what do Americans want. WR claimed it was simple ' all an American needs is a full tank of gas , a 2 piece bathing suit and a hot dog '.
WR missed the part about 3 minutes of TV fame.
Reality bites again. The show is ' Unleashed ' or Guinness Book of Records televised. It seems all competitors are Americans attempting to break world GBR.
To wit , smashing apples w/ your bicep ( one arm only ). A lady comes on and , yes , smunches 8 apples in a minute.
Shooting a bow and arrow w/ your feet while hand-standing. The target 20 ft away and 18 cm across. ( old record 18 ' 1/2 " ). First try and bang hits the balloon.

Oh yeah , some records are not acknowledged , danger or pointlessness ( don't get that criterion ). Such as shooting Roman candles from your ass. But the 30 m bum scoot does count.
OK maybe , I needed something else to occupy my time.

Heck , on holidays , lets just let it go

Weather : cool , blue sky and warming up - over 60 closer to 70 F
