Rubber band smearBall

I started making this in grade 4 when I first saw one on Peewee's Playhouse. I had hopes and dreams of getting in the Guiness Book of world Records which was my favourite publication at the time. In retrospect, I'm glad it didn't consume my life like this guy . Great pecks though! Mine got up to 8 1/2 lbs of solid elastics. I would have had to move to specialty rubber bands to go any further and that's when I decided not to go pro. All of the possible fame and glory flushed down the toilet. It haunts me in my sleep.
