    Why on earth does such a record even EXIST for him TO break?

    Well, I hope his parents are still around to share in their son's accomplishment.

    I can just see mom, head rested on her old man's chest, tears streaming down her cheeks - 'We done good, Lloyd Fessler - we done good.'

    'Erma-Leigh, I always knowed our son would do something great. He weren't no good in school, but you just could tell he had the Fessler family cockroachin' gene in him.'

    FYI, our man Travis isn't a low-brow pinhead but a celebrated side-show freak entertainer: http://www.travisfessler.com/

    Hmm, if you just think of an obscure enough insect you could probably set the record by placing just one in your mouth.

    I think you mean I'm not JUST a low-brow pinhead.

    it's a shame jungle john's record got broken. He was the star an assembly at my elementary school where he terrified everyone with a huge snake and crocodile.
