The World Record For Talking Too Much

By Jill Harness in Everything Else, World Records on Jan 24, 2009 at 1:01 pm

My friends sometimes say I have a problem with never shutting up. I bet if they met Lluis Colet, they might change their tune. In 2004, Colet was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for longest speech. His 2004 speech lasted 48 hours. Since then, the record was beaten, so Colet won it again, this time by talking for an amazing 124 hours. In the name of all people who talk too much, my hat is off to you Lluis.

    That’s nice. Come get me when somebody wins the award for talking only when they have something interesting or useful to say. Not just talking to hear the sound of their own voice.

    I love how this is the only post to have “shut up” as a tag.

    He’s a museum guide, so he’s accustomed to talk. Still five days, four nights : wow.

    I came here to say STFU, but Steve Smith expressed my views more eloquently.

    i love the background here=)
    well, im trying to find a record to break and i think talking would be a good subject to work with considering i am very talkative, once my friend told me to write a paper on nothing, and instead of just the front or a paper, i wrote a 4 page essay on me and my life and my friends, i was confused of why that was a problem. I talk way too much, which i think you can see while trying to read this whole long paragraph thats supposed to be a stupis little comment like “cool” or “thats awesome” instead its like i am a machine babbaling on. I think that i am going to go now, looking for records to make/beat=) Ttfn. This is AMAZING. I talk allot.Haha.Bye.
