October 28, 2008: Navel Fluff

Navel fluff... you know, bellybutton lint.
But not just any old fluff/lint, no, you're looking at the world's biggest collection of one person's navel fluff (lint), as certified by Guinness World Records.

After accomplishing this awe inspiring feat, :rolleyes: Graham Barker has created a webite to tell the history of his collection. He gives you the inside scoop on how you too, can get into this fast paced sport.

Anyone posting a recipe will be frowned upon.

I'm.. speechless. And grossed out. So we see what color tee shirts It wore over those periods.:greenface :greenface

That's exactly what I was thinking. Did he have a different coloured fleecy jumper or something for each period? I see that he didn't quite wear out the pink one till some time into the new millenium.

Damn. I honestly thought it was Naval Fluff.
I thought it would be a couple of pics of some sweet young things in uniform...

He also found that a well developed "snail-trail" - hair connecting the pubic hair to the navel - also encourages lint in the belly.

Oh, goody - the visual image did get worse after I read the link!

What does this say for the mentality of someone who saves THAT?

I know a woman who can make me an afghan from that stuff.

It's cool because this is better resolution than the first time these were an IotD... 6 years ago :D

More fluff too. :blush:

First off, ewwww. And second if you are going to create a website around your nasty navel fluff don't use cleaned out pickle jars...bring some class to the table and buy something nice to put your filth in. :headshake

It would seem the contents of the oldest jar have settled a bit since this was last featured on IOTD.

Maybe someone's been eating the contents of the jars?

did anyone notice that navel fluff guy provided a shot of his lint in 3-D on his webpage?

"This is a pile of my 2005-7 fluff displayed as a stereo pair, and can be enjoyed in 3D if viewed using the cross-eye method."

the last thing i needed was to feel like his fluff was leaping out at me. yikes & ick. :eek: :greenface
