February 25, 2012 World Sword Swallower Day

Everyone is supposed to swallow a sword at 2:25:12.

A guy will be doing it outside Ripley’s in Times Square NYC! Believe it or Not!

Yum yum. I can’t wait. What time zone, Billy?

Ripley’s which is sponsoring this refers to “simultaneous swallows” yet notes further down that the event will take place at local times at their various locations.

I suppose the famous Indigo Montoya quote applies here.

Still, it’s a cool thing and I salute sword swallowers everywhere on this, their special day.

You could at least get-a my name right.

Is everyone ready?

(This is for professionals only!)

Crap, sorry dude, a serious typo that was. Damn glad I have but 5 fingers on my right hand.

I just gagged – a little – in my mouth.

I’ll leave the sword-swallowing to people who’ve made a treaty with their gag reflex. :slight_smile:

When’s World Blockhead Day?

I’d have been in London for the days events, had my pesky insurance company not screwed it up for me.

Just after World Get Run Over By A Steamroller Day.

Not many in attendance though. Rollers these days are more often powered by propane or Diesel.
