Forget that previously posted handshaking record; in Wisconsin, a record 191,712 brats were sold at Madison's Brat Fest over the weekend. (That beats the 2004 record of 189,432 brats.) Jim Kleckner bought brat number 189,433 at the latest fest, but didn't eat it. He put it in his freezer where another special brat already sits -- the record-setting brat from 2004.

Sounds like a record breaking toilet usage record about to be broken also

Our family accounted for six of these. Twas a good time.

Seems like cheating to buy a brat knowing you're not gonna eat it. Not to mention this veggie-brat nonsense...

No kidding Jaxx, they should've monitored toilet flushes as well. Could've broken two records in one weekend!

Again, there needs to be a record for the most boogers picked in a 24 hr. period.
So the boogers don't go to waste, use them in a booger-eating challenge.

LETS HOPE THEY MOVE OUT AS FAST AS THEY WENT IN.

Or have a naked latte challenge....see who can sell the most lattes naked in a 36 hr period. Whoever wins gets spanked!

veggie brats?! Oh, how humanity has fallen.
It's like this cake I make: one tub cool whip, one box vanilla ice cream, one package oreo cookies--bashed to bits. Blend all ingredients, spread into a pan and refreeze. Delicious. Had a guest ask if it could be made fat-free. Sure it could, but why?

While I imagine the participants in this event had fun I really get tired of these ridiculous records and record-breaking attempts. Who cares how many weiners you sold?? And the guy with the frost-bitten weiners should give it up too, its just strange!

Reno, a guy with a frost-bitten weiner can't give it up. :0)

I'll attest, the Veggie Brats are disgusting. You can make a decent Veggie Burger, but the Brat defies attempts at synthesis.
But I'd rather eat that than cool whip, which is effectively a mix of corn syrup, wax and condom lube.

A whole new market for Cool Whip just opened up....
Posted by: Reno | Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 11:14 AM
John A., guess I'll pass on the Cool Whip too from now on.
Posted by: kevy | Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 11:14 AM
put some cool whip on top of the lattes in the naked latte challenge.
Posted by: twerp | Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 11:32 AM
all right, haters. you know you can make your own 'cool whip.' I'm just lazy.

News Flash:
Next year’s Brat Fest has been canceled. A heavy, odorous, green gas was detected by EPA investigators in record amounts hovering over Willow Island during the past 4 days.
According to field investigators, a green haze remains over the island. All those with young children & the elderly are advised to steer clear of the island.

It's refreshing to read a decent story from Wisconsin where apparently all participants had a good time. And even the whole country goes broke...
"Proceeds from the event go to charities as chosen by volunteer servers, Metcalfe said. He estimated that more than $100,000 will be available for those charities after this year's record-setting sales."
