So what do you do when you get really bored over the summer? Maddison decided (with a joking prod) to go for the worlds record boondoggle. Yea that's right, the worlds record boondoggle. So what is the current world record for boondoggle? Well apparently there isn't one. So that makes it all the easier. First: buy two 100 yard rolls of the stuff and start doggling as fast as you can go.
current length is about 10 inches or so, but hey she is just getting started, and there is still a lot of summer ahead of us.
So go for it Maddison. I am cheering for you.
And where on earth did the word boondoggle come from?

Boondoggle is a North American arts and crafts activity in which you use flat strings. Originally the term was boon doogle referring to a bone or metal ring used to secure the scarf of a Boy Scout (also called a woggle). American Scoutmaster Robert H. Link (died 1959) is credited with coining the term. From this, the term came to refer to the lanyards worn on the uniform of a scout, or to similar small decorative objects.
Thank you, Wikipedia
Go Maddie! I love that she is doing this.
Ok so can I take some credit for that joking prod of world record boondoggle? I mean it was me who looked it up on the Guiness site?! Hee hee :)
Keep on the boondoggle girl. Maybe someday you'll make one that can go around the world, we can call it the boondoggle of world peace!
