When my time on earth is up, I’d like to think that I will be remembered for something special I did while I was here. But what? I’ve pondered and considered one idea after the other. Oh the places my thoughts have taken me. Then it hit me. I could try to make a world record. Ooh… So I’ve looked through what some folks did to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records, and I found some fun ideas. Not all of them were for me, but it still helped to look through them.

Most body piercings. But I don’t even have my ears pierced. The mere thought gives me the willies.

Longest fingernails. The current record holder took 30 years to grow out her nails. I’m pretty sure I won’t live long enough to try for this one.

Largest collection of rubber ducks. I don’t have any rubber ducks, but maybe I can collect something else. Hmmm… Toenail clippings or belly button lint perhaps.

Most wins for making a face. I’d consider this one, but what if my face freezes like one of the expressions?

Longest legs (51.9 inches). Let’s see. I’m 4’ 11”, so I would have to figure out how to stretch my legs up to my armpits.

Farthest distance walking on Lego bricks. Yikes! Do I even need to explain why this one was a no?

Longest distance being pulled on a horse while on fire (1640.42 feet). Wait. Pulled by a horse? On fire? Why?

Longest journey swimming (3273.38 miles). I’m so afraid of the water that I cringe at driving over bridges, I don’t take baths, and I don’t even let water run down my face in the shower, so it’s a no on this one.

Remove 70 socks from other people’s feet in one minute while blindfolded. Ew. Can I wear socks on my hands while doing it? Then again, I don’t even like touching my own feet, so I think I’ll pass.

Some of these are just too much work, not to mention a little too strange. Besides, I don’t have to break someone else’s record. I can simply make my own, which would make me even more unforgettable. So I’m considering some easier ideas, and I’ve narrowed down my list to the following:

1. Eat the most deep-fried turtle brains.
2. Longest time hanging a spoon on my nose.
3. Walk down Main Street wearing the most pairs of underwear outside my pants.

It’s hard for me to decide which record I should go for so I can be remembered for doing something special with my life. Which one should I choose?
