The first time we broke this record, the mark to beat was 18. This time is was 61. It was harder this time.

The record was for the most grapes sliced in one minute with a samurai sword while standing on a balance board.

We thought it might be as easy as last time since he’s ambidextrous and I’m super-practiced on a balance board. It wasn’t that easy. After warming up, and two full attempts, we ran out of grapes. We had to come back for another night of attempts and this time we got it. The first time we broke the record we got 57, this time, we got 68 beating the standing record of 61.

It may not have been quite as easy, but that just means it was that much more meaningful. It’s credited as a one-person record, but Hollywood Hannon made the Guinness website in both picture and name, so I’m going to say this one belongs to him as well.

He did make the Guinness website in photo and name, so I feel like this one belongs just as much to him as it does to me.

This was the third of three records broken on Guinness World Record day 2020. It’s nice that we’ve been on the same quaranteam this year.
