Fargo group flips over pancake record

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FARGO, N.D. -- This feast was for the record books, and it only took 34,818 pancakes to get there.
Thousands of people, including an official with Guinness World Records, escaped the bone-chilling winter weather on Saturday for the 50th anniversary of The Kiwanis Club's Pancake Karnival fundraiser.
Grillers flipped flapjacks and served them with sausages and orange juice for most of the day until they more than surpassed the 30,724 pancakes served in 2002 by the Lubbock, Texas, Lions Club.
"We're officially the largest pancake feed in the world," Matt Sullivan, president of The Kiwanis Club, said Sunday.
The group had brought in Kris Teufel, a records manager from London, to certify the feed, Sullivan said. The cost of the feast was being tallied, but organizers felt it was worth it for the event's silver anniversary, he said.

Just thought you all should know.

Thank you.

I love how they call it a "Feed". Like people are being slopped like cattle. At what point does it go from a pancake breakfast to a feed? 10,000 pancakes? 20,000? 30,000?

No internal bleeding. Mom's heart rate is still very low, so they're keeping her monitored, but she should be ok.

I am so bloody exhausted. I feel like I could sleep for a month.

{{hugs}} Dp, get some rest.
More good vibes and thoughts going to your Mom (and you my dear)

NA, you can still find punk clothes in SF, not as swanky as London, but some fine shops in the Haight.
