How about you actually try some something challenging:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;1) Drink 5 gallons of bleach&lt;BR/&gt;2) Eat 3 dozen light bulbs&lt;BR/&gt;3) Stick an alligator up your ass&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I hadn't thought of the possibility of him pulling a Kaufman.  That seems to be the only thing that makes anything he does make any sense.  The above suggestions would of course disqualify that possibility.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18841103/114719309468816217/comments/default/114728031063354673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18841103/114719309468816217/comments/default/114728031063354673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chicovstheworld.blogspot.com/2006/05/dear-david-blaine-stop-please-stop.html?showComment=1147280280000#c114728031063354673' title=''/><author><name>Chico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10235365905299790495</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01816582806044256991'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://chicovstheworld.blogspot.com/2006/05/dear-david-blaine-stop-please-stop.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841103.post-114719309468816217' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18841103/posts/default/114719309468816217' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841103.post-114727139162696866</id><published>2006-05-10T07:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-10T07:29:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A two hour special to watch some wanker hold his b...</title><content type='html'>A two hour special to watch some wanker hold his breath?  This passes for entertainment?  There wasn't even an element of danger because he was hooked up to monitoring gadgetry and had his own rescue team on standby (including a Yale Medical Professor).  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This is the same guy that was suspended above the Thames in an acrylic box for 40-odd days, "buried alive" (i.e. laying in a dark and stinky stinky place) for 7 days), spending 61 hours in ice (hey, didn't Mancow do that?), and standing on a dinner plate 90 feet in the air.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Given his distinguished body of work, I propose the following as possibilities for stunts:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;1)  Standing in a corner "in timeout" for 24 hours &lt;BR/&gt;2)  Going for two months without saying the word "celery" (while handcuffed!)&lt;BR/&gt;3)  Going to bed without dinner every night for an entire month&lt;BR/&gt;4)  Crossing the street without looking both ways (safety team on standby of course)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Maybe this is all an "Andy Kaufman style" joke that only he's in on.  Now, that would be cool.  Either that, or he's an attention starved jackass.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18841103/114719309468816217/comments/default/114727139162696866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18841103/114719309468816217/comments/default/114727139162696866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chicovstheworld.blogspot.com/2006/05/dear-david-blaine-stop-please-stop.html?showComment=1147271340000#c114727139162696866' title=''/><author><name>monkeyboy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13484885248005014234</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://chicovstheworld.blogspot.com/2006/05/dear-david-blaine-stop-please-stop.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841103.post-114719309468816217' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18841103/posts/default/114719309468816217' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
