It's kind of amazing to see so many single people in one place.

Rebecca Oatley, of Jokers' Masquerade, said: "Smurf Guinness World Record holder has become an illustrious title."
I've been to Swansea. Believe me, other than their claim to fame being the Home Town of Catherine Zeta-Jones there is not that much going on.

Ok, the blue body paint I could find, the little white overalls, check, but where did they find those HATS? Somebody MAKES those? In adult sizes?

"So according to your resume' it says you were formerly employed by the Guiness corporation at their records division. Could you explain to me what duties were involved with your position of Cerulean Tabulation Engineer?"

What color does a smurf turn if you choke it?
Posted by: gp | June 09, 2009 at 11:23 AM
same color as if it freezes...
i think i saw more than one female smurf, so it can't be accurate!

Do they advertise these events as Blue Balls?

Looks like a Blue Klux Klan rally. Blue people wake up!

The event was organised by UK fancy dress costume seller Jokers' Masquerade and was not verified until 1am as every "Smurf" had to be checked to make sure no natural skin was showing.
So if part of their skin was naturally blue, it didn't count?

Kev, I think they were required to dye their varicose veins pink.

I've never been told that I'm
psychopsychic, but I have the strangest premonition that the new blog advertised on the sidebar, "maybeyoushouldntbuythat.com," is going to feature prominently in future posts here...Posted by: frodolives | June 09, 2009 at 02:55 PM
