Tonight I set a personal record as well as a Guinness World Record. I have been practicing skewering small pieces of food with a toothpick for well over a year and have several Guinness World Record Titles to my name. I have eaten different types of food with a toothpick but tonight’s record stands out. Most of the time when I break a Guinness World Record I have a good showing, but not usually my best for something I practice hundreds of times. I individually ate 108 peas in 1 minute each stabbed with a toothpick. When I broke the 30-second version of the record I got 49 which was also a personal record. When I did corn kernels, I got 80. The record to beat was 86 which I knew was doable but only in the last round of practicing did I realize I had a shot to get up to 100. When I got 108 in a live record attempt I was thrilled. Not only had I exceeded my expectations but proved to myself I could go faster than I thought was possible at the outset. It goes to show that you get better at what you practice and you can get better at anything!

Thanks to all the folks for helping out and Dave and Busters for providing a great atmosphere!
