About a month ago I set the initial world record for the most mousetraps set on the tongue in under one minute.
Watch and be appalled. (Mild language and content warning) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ynUqo9vER4k Gwyd |

That's not what they meant by building a better mousetrap.
Great by the way. |

Gwyd, Wonderful - and the most entertaining setting of a world record I ever saw (though Miss Candy Apples was pretty impressive). I expected just a line of traps and a tongue - not a show, a context, characters and an act - that was great - got a sore gut laughing when Sylver pulled that trap off your tongue. And I can't believe you held character while snapping mouse traps on your tongue. Destiny |

Funny...My father says that to me all of the time...
Seriously, I could not have done it without Sylver. Apart from her whip work and the yanking off of the trap (In my opinion the best parts of the act...), she's got my back no matter what stupid thing I want to try next. Gotta love that in a girl. Thanks all! Gwyd |

It's probably just me, but that might be the dumbest, least entertaining thing I've ever seen...

Meow! Must say I enjoyed the band's reactions quite a bit.
Congrats on a fun show and you new world record. John

Cat got your tongue?! Well almost.
But congratulations on the accomplishment. GlenD

That was great...although I cringed with every click! I hate to ask this out loud, but were those real? Is your tongue bruised as all get out when you're done?
You remind me of watching Dennis Hopper. If you had spoke slightly faster and peppered your dialog with "man" I would have thought I was watching Apocalypse Now! |

Yes, the traps are real- Single Spring Victor mousetraps right out of the package. The Victor Mousetrap Company sent me about 250 for my W.E.A.R. promotional event last October, so after the event I had a lot of mousetraps sitting around and that spawned this idea.
Yes...My tongue was bruised black by the end of the act, and that really was the best I could talk in the end segment. My tongue was seriously swollen for about two hours and then started to go back down. Two days later, I was completely fine (Except for the permenant dents in the edges of my tongue that were already there from almost daily mousetrapping) No other body parts will be subjected to this abuse. I won't be doing it again for a while...For now, I found my limit. Dang it was fun though. As a kid, I always wanted a world record. I read all of the record books and wanted to see my name in one. Now I can. Gwyd |
