Like, really love The Simpsons? Then maybe — just maybe — you could actually break the current Guinness World Record for the longest continuous television viewing: 86 hours, 6 minutes and 41 seconds. That’s a lot of TV.

Via: news.charlesayoub.com

The "Ultimate Fan Challenge" will take place in Los Angeles starting tomorrow and as soon as it his 5:30pm, 500 continuous episodes of the show will play. It only takes just over 86 hours to win the new record and if you do win the title you'll also walk away with a $10,500 prize. Worth it? And BuzzFeeders, if any of you decide to partake in the challenge, please do let us know how it turns out.

More information on the event can be found here.

Just, um, don't let it drive you crazy like the time Homer went without his two favorite things: TV and beer.
