I first noticed my ability
McManaman, 68, a resident of Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, currently holds 340 records including his most recent one: Longest Time To Balance A Surfboard On Chin While Standing, which he did for 51.47 seconds. Gucci outlet, cheap gucci online, gucci 2012 new arrivals for sale.
It's possible McManaman has balanced everything on his head, but the kitchen sink -- except he did that trick back in 2008.
"I first noticed my ability when I was 12," he told HuffPost Weird News. "I was able to balance baseball bats on my finger."
It took former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau to make McManaman take his balancing act seriously.
"I never did anything with my ability until I saw a photo of Trudeau balancing a golf club on his chin," McManaman said. "I did it with a golf ball on top of the club."
From there, he has worked his way through various feats, but says his hardest stunt was the time he balanced four clubs on his chin at once.
"Golf clubs are round and it makes it harder for them to balance on something," he explained.
Although McManaman calls himself the Balance King, not every record he holds involves balancing something.
He also holds offbeat records like Most Grapes Detached From Stem In One Minute (121), Most Nails Picked Up From A Bucket Using A Magnet (65), and Longest Distance To Shoot A Rubber Band Using Only Hands (427 feet).
McManaman says he won't stop until he gets 500 world records under his belt, and often sets many records in a single day using Recordsetter.com, an adjudicating agency that has earned a niche in the competitive Gucci necklaces, gucci designer necklace sale for women world record recording business by allowing people to submit their own wacky world records for consideration.
He has tried getting the attention of Guinness World Records, but says he was confounded by "the red tape and bureaucracy" he says was required to get a record considered.
Very few people own one world record, much less 340, but, amazingly, McManaman's number of world records is only the second most in Recordsetter history.
Juggler Brian Pankey is No. 1 with 2,140, including Most Starbursts Held In One Hand (118) and Most Hats Put On In Fifteen Seconds (17).
"He's been through the judicial system [so much], he probably knows it better than I do," Sarasota Sheriff Tom Knight told the station.

It's yet unclear how long Brewster's 40th stay in jail will be -- he was denied bail at the county jail due to nine counts of probation violation, according to the Herald-Tribune.
It's a frustrating problem for the sheriff, who regularly has to process Brewster -- and spend county money.
"If anybody out there has the answers, we would love to have it," Knight told WTSP. "Because we're frustrated too, with arresting the same people over and over and over again."
The Florida State Attorney's Office told WTSP that it will seek prison time due to the probation violations.
Wrobel battered his way into the Guinness World Records on Shrove Tuesday by stacking a whopping 60 pancakes on top of each other for a stack that ultimately measured 76 cm (2.49 feet), according to Gucci earrings, cheap gucci silver earrings for women 2012.
The world record stack eventually collapsed, but, luckily, not before adjudicators could confirm that it broke the previous record of 74 cm (2.42 feet) set in Croatia in 2008.
