Below is an email I received from Guinness. I am excited to get this underway. I talked to Cyruss and Luke over the weekend about this project. They had some ideas as well. I am a total slacker so I am going to need some help to get this under way! Thank you to all who are down for the cause and wanna help.
Cheers!
Dear Claimant,
Thank you very much for your record application.
Please use our website to make your application. All you need to do is to go to guinnessworldrecords.com. Please note that our website has recently changed. You need to click on the red banner “Break a World Record”. Then register as a new user, by clicking on “Register here”, or log in if you are already a registered user of the new website. If you have a Membership Number and Password obtained in the old website, please click on “Already have a membership number and password?” to retrieve your details and complete the registration for the new website. Once you are a registered user, you can log in the website and choose “Make a Record Attempt” to submit your application.
If you do not have direct access to the internet, we suggest that you ask a friend or a relative who does to make the application for you. The new internet based system enables us to provide a fair and quick service to the thousands of customers who contact us.
The process consists of various stages which include:
· Providing details about yourself and about the record you want to break or set
· Answering a number of questions regarding your record proposal/attempt
· Waiting to receive a copy of the Agreement Regarding Record Attempt (ARRA) via email (usually about 1 working day after the application) and, after printing and signing it, sending it to us by FAX or POST (this must be done immediately). Until we receive this signed form we will not be able to evaluate your claim
Once we’ve received your agreement form, your application will be reviewed by one of our specialist researchers. If it is accepted as a new category (or an existing one) we’ll contact you with the corresponding rules and regulations that must strictly adhered to. If we reject your idea, we’ll reply to you detailing why it was not acceptable.
If you are interested to find out the current status of a record, we now offer an exciting new service – if you’ve got a record query, text us your question on your mobile phone at any time of the day or night. Just write " GWR " plus your question and text it to 82275 – you’ll receive your first answer FREE! (normal charge £1; questions sent to 82275 cost normal text rate). This service is only live in the UK so far.
Finally please understand that due to the high number of claims we receive every week, we are unable to keep any of the correspondence you have sent to us and that any material you sent without having previously signed an agreement form will be destroyed.
We thank you for your understanding and look forward to receiving your application online.
Yours sincerely
Guinness World Records

Today I sent off a letter to Guiness asking them if this is a record and if so how can we break it. I also asked them how we go about making our own recordif one does not exisit. More reasearch to do and so much more to find out.
Project PBR for Peace: Mission Statement
So this is the concept that starts here and now. I would like to get as many people as I can from the city of Portland to shot gun Pabst Blue Ribbon in honor of world peace. I would like to get the Guiness Book of World Records involved with this fun and maybe even Pabst as well. I would like to hold work shops on "How to Shot Gun". Eventualy, I would like to make this a nationwide event, but for starters, we will try it in Portland, Oregon. So, here is where the idea has been formed and the research will begin. I need a date, time, to obtain tons of PBR's, to find out about Guiness records in shot gunning, and to find a venue.
SO World Peace, don't you worry! We will be shot gunnin' some PBR's in your honor!
