59/365 Eugene Jr

In a claw-foot bathtub at his favorite saloon, EJ (wearing our father’s fishing waders) tried and failed to break the world’s record for sitting in catsup. Tomato acid burned several tiny holes in the waders which Dad discovered later - standing in a cold river.

I love this story--and not only because I fly fish. Note to self:

Well I look at it this way. He was attempting to break the record, which at least means someone in my family wasn't the FIRST person to think, hey I've got some time this weekend, I think I'll spend it sitting in catsup.

I think the record is near twenty hours.

uh-hum....
I DID break previous the record held by "The Human French Frie" of Lafayette LA. which was 21 hours flat, by 9 hours and 31 minutes. I fell short of my overly optimistic goal of doubling it however. Alas, the record has since been broken...
