Yes, ok, you've broken a world record ...

... but why would you bother, really? This is almost as bad as the notorious, Amazing Mister Lifto from Jim Rose's august entertainment.

People will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame, it seems.

Intrigued by Mr. Lifto (I mean, I'd have to be dead not to want to know about that), I followed the link you provided, and my favorite is "At Lollapalooza Lifto would perform the "genital lift" feat after cleverly spraying shaving cream on himself."

Oh, so the clever part of the genital lift was spraying shaving cream on himself?? Well, I suppose you can argue that it is more clever than lifting stuff with your genitals.

I saw him live in action years ago it was pretty gross, no way he'd ever be able to use his dangly bits for what they were designed for, completely split in half! YUCK.

OMG! How did you ever end up going to see him? Was it morbid curiosity, or did someone say come have dinner and see Mr. Lifto destroy his family jewels?

And you know, upon further thought, I think I might even be able to do the clever part of the act, which is to cover my private areas with shaving cream. What do you think that, huh? Pretty impressive, huh?

I went to see the Jim Rose Freak Show years and years ago - in Canberra while they were on tour - got the t-shirt and everything. I was fine until Matt "The Tube" Crowley did his act and someone from the audience actually did drink some of the stuff pumped out of his tum! At that point my sister and I started dry reching in a big way. We did clear a big space around us which was nice, we'd been a bit squeezed in until then!

Oh, and I'm VERY impressed you could perform the shaving cream trick, very impressed indeed.

LOL. Why thank you my dear. I am rather impressed with my abilities, though I say so myself.
