Ousted!
A wise man once said, “If you don’t grind, you don’t shine.” And oh is it so true.
Our world record toothbrush collection, as seen on the Universal Record Database and (however briefly) CNN is no longer a world record. We’ve been ousted by brushrats from London, Kentucky:
Most Toothbrushes On Bathroom Counter
Matthew, Joe, Justin and Mawnie Belcher plus their friends Josh and Ronnie each placed two toothbrushes on a bathroom counter for a combined total of 12 toothbrushes, a new world record.
The record was documented on June 27, 2009 in London, Kentucky.
The eye of the dragon is now upon you, London, Kentucky:
And shame on you Matthew, Joe, Justin, Mawnie, Josh, and Ronnie for hurting the dragon’s feelings like that! The least you can do now is send an awesome toothbrush and whatever else you think will make him feel better to

Just kidding on the shame part. Congratulations on your new record and what we imagine must be your many shiny, happy teeth! :)
But wait, this was not a single ousting week, but a double ousting week. For while I’ve been away in New York and Detroit, Jason has been in my room, and he’s been busy checking into The Dragon Drop more times than me on Foursquare.
Medium-long story short, Foursquare is a mobile phone app that lets you check in from places around the city, sharing your location with your friends and giving you points and badges for going places. The person who checks in the most from a certain place becomes the Mayor of that place.
Well, until mere moments ago I was the Mayor of The Dragon Drop. And then I get this email:
You’ve just been ousted as the mayor of The Dragon Drop!
Hey there -
Sorry for the bad news, but Jason K. has just replaced you as mayor of The Dragon Drop!

Don’t take it too hard - a few more checkins and you could be back on top…

Dang you to the depths, Jason! Guess who’s rent just went up! :p Even as I sleep your grinning visage will taunt me:
hehe Fair play and game on! You are all invited to check in early to The Dragon Drop, and to check in often. It remains, after all, The Most Photographed Dragon Statue In San Francisco. Keep grinding and shining, you crazy diamonds.
