This just goes to show that if you're prepared to make the commitment, take the time, make the sacrifices, put in the hours, do it one step at a time, have dream, a purpose, a goal, commit to the vision and take the little and often approach, you too can utterly waste your life.

Lamest hobby ever.

It's true about shoes being the most important aspect of your attire.

I noticed his shoes too then made an instant judgement upon his character and status.

What I thought about his huge ball painting achievement was inconsequential.

'crack' as the bottom half drops off. Oops, game over, you have no lives left.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be cool to slice it in half (lets hope he used different colours of paint)

Finish is a bit shit though, definitely didn't sand between coats, amateurs.

I'm thinking some tragic ending in 2005 when either they were over-come with fumes from an old batch of paint or the thing slipped it's chain and crashed into the living room below and killed them both.

Cut it in half, polish the cut bit and he'd sell it for a 'a lot'.

I'm finding April with her whip slightly more interesting than a man painting his balls on a daily basis - [url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/07/2018-guinness-book-world-records-pictures/jenga-blocks-removed-whip-one-minute-4-achieved-april-choi-usa/ ]Crack![/url]

Reading some more of those, isn't it cheating that the [url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/07/2018-guinness-book-world-records-pictures/guide-dogs-blind-association-presented-certificate-guide-dogs/ ]Guide Dogs for the Blind[/url] association got the record for most guide dogs for the blind trained? I mean, I don't want to belittle their good work, but it's hardly like there was stiff competition, is it? 😀

In that list is 'Ryan's Toy Review', the most viewed YouTube channel starring a 6 year old.

Estimated earnings for the last year is around $20m!

Dont think much of the final surface quality...2 coats a day, every day, year in, year out is all well can good but obviously couldn't be bothered about sanding back between applications.
