The record for fastest throwing of Chicken’s feet at circus
clowns was set by Canadian Pierre Kalynuk in March 1975. He threw 50 chicken’s
feet in 1 min 12 seconds when the touring Crispin Circus visited his hometown
of Buddirok. He said, “I’ve always hated clowns, but loved chickens. I feel
that in setting this record I’ve expressed myself in a way I couldn’t have done
otherwise.”

| In this photograph, Kalynuk can be seen, entering the Crispin Circus from the North entrance, silhouetted in the door with a hat on. He purchased the chicken's feet from Todd Plinth, a food vendor outside. Plinth told the Buddirok Chronicle later, "Of course I was suspicious. I mean, some fella buying 9 packets of chicken feet ain't normal. Still, I thought, just how much damage can he do? Turns out that boy was fixing to do something wonderful with those feet."
