August 24, 2006: Longest fingernails - Page 3

I don't reckon She would make it very far as a jell-o wrestler. And I agree that a hand job would be out of the question. These things could really put your eye out.

She looks like a negative image of Elvira.

I could never go to the hairdresser that gave her that 'do.

Just like the childhood puzzle story about the town with two barbers.

Oh, and PLEASE tell me that she didn't use the fry pan in question for anything else ... like cooking.

"She used to soak them in warm olive oil once a week, but now she no longer has time, and her nails are too long to fit in the fry pan."

As others here have already said, WHY!!!! Woman, you are a waste of skin, slice and dice yourself. But at least she'll never have an itch she can't scratch.

BTW, xoxoxobruce, Guinness are Irish. And another thing - George W Bush and his pursuit of the global American Dream. Kinda makes Brit bashing pointless on your part. Nuff said!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-06-2006, 08:13 PM

Yeah, Irish...I knew that.

But chill out, Tin Man. I'm not bashing anyone. Just a little humour, ok?

Lol! Hi, xoxoxbruce, we do seem to cross our humour swords, don't we? As I said in another thread we were on, I was having a bad day that day and was a touchy old sod. I've got my funny bone back in place now. Even so, I think you miss the humour in my putdowns as well. Or maybe I don't have funny typing fingers. Ah well, we must share a chat and pint of Guinness sometime.

I must say that I took Tin Man's user title seriously and decided not to rise to the bait in case it proved me to be a moron (sorry , xob, I don't think of you that way, y'know ...

). I'll buy you a Guinness while you're over here, too ...

Sundae · 09-08-2006, 01:34 PM

Jumping on a barely perceived bandwagon - I'd buy Bruce a Guinness if he came to the UK too.

In fact I'll buy any Dwellar one. If you come to Leicester I'll throw in an All You Can Eat Curry. Otherwise it's just a drink of your choice.

Undertoad · 09-08-2006, 01:45 PM

Clearly xoB must go, because he'll be off his ass in free beer!

I have this fantasy where I'm rich enough to go around the world meeting all Dwellars who would be interested in a handshake and a beer and a friendly conversation.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-08-2006, 02:56 PM

Well UT, since you've decided to marry the fabulous Jacquelita for love, instead of some wealthy heiress for money, we'll have to find another way.

I'm up for a go at filtering some of that British beer. I'll ask my boss if I can borrow a 747, and we'll take the whole crew.....and we won't have to take our shoes off.

limey · 09-08-2006, 05:25 PM

So, SundaeGirl, I can arrange cheap accommodation (self-catering @ £15/person/night, catered will cost a leetle more) in my neck of the woods, for about 23 Dwellars. Could you match that in your part of the world - can we, and any other UK Dwellars, organise a Cellar tour of the UK, I wonder, with advice on the cheapest/best routes from A to B ... ?

Just happened to see another news story about this woman, and they included an extra tidbit:

Quote:

Redmond said she was once offered more than $100,000 from people in Japan for her nails, but she just couldn't bring herself to part with them.

People will buy the strangest crap.

09-14-2006, 05:36 PM

She better sell... they may poach her ass for an aphrodisiac.

"you want crazy chick nail soup? $400 a thimble? Get yer' yang up!"

Pileup shatters SLC woman's fingernail record

Quote:

The Guinness World Record for longest fingernails was broken Wednesday, so to speak.

The fingernails Salt Lake City resident Lee Redmond has been growing since 1979 were broken off in a four-car pileup Wednesday in Holladay, said Salt Lake County sheriff's spokesman Don Hutson.

Redmond was a passenger in one of the cars in the 1:30 p.m. crash. She and at least two others were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Hutson said. She was ejected from the vehicle, Hutson said.

Redmond's nails were 33 inches long when The Tribune last interviewed her in 2007. She then was 66. In a 1995 article, she said she once turned down $10,000 to trim her nails on Japanese TV.
