What's that in the water? A fish? Dolphin?

Nope! It's Eric Ducharme — the subject of TLC's My Crazy Obsession. Can you guess what his "crazy obsession" is?

If you guessed "being a mermaid," you'd be right!

This is a variation on a not-completely-uncommon identity disorder or as we like to say “lifestyle,” encompassing such trends as “FURRY FANDOM.”

Frankly I have far fewer qualms about a fellow wanting to be a fish than I do about a political “social” movement of HIV+ sex fiends wanting to bugger my son.

If he can play an instrument, maybe he could join Blue Man Grouper.

He’s been an entrepreneur since the age of 14.

Somebody who’s very lonely and doesn’t get enough fresh seafood.

[Slings and Arrows]

There’s something fishy about that guy.

And his chum.

[Salamander]

My next logical step is to say something that will get me ZOTted.

[Slings and Arrows]

Sooooo...how about that weather?

[Salamander]

Cold.

Very cold.

Like i heard said to him, “boy you got a pretty mouth”. And people like this guy can vote too.

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

I can SEE his LEGS. This is no mermaid (should it not be merMAN... then again, maybe not...).

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

When will mermaids get separate bathrooms? Stop the oppression!

Seriously, how do I get my daughter fixed up with this guy?

[Vermont Lt]

Wow. What the hell does he want to marry?

Years ago this crap was kept in the cellar. No one knew about it.

And we were all happier for it.

Now they stand in line to be in the freak show.

The fantasy:

The reality

Great(ancient?) minds think alike! :p

Hmmm. Interesting link. I think it’s quite peculiar, but he does do creative work. I wonder how many people buy these suits from him.

" A merman he should turn to be,"

Fixed. :)
