Uh oh… fighting words here:

“A spokeswoman for the Madam Tussaud’s event explained that an event has to be sanctioned by Guinness before it can break the record. So it’s not enough simply to be a world record in spirit, it must be a Guinness world record.”

HOLY. MOTHER. OF. FUN!

I’m moving to Austin (fingers crossed) in January and have been a little anxious about it. But now I am ::thrilled:: to know I’ll be living in a place where people do this. poshdeluxe has eased my woes.
