Wow! I have a new hero. Not only for accomplishing such a magnificent feat, but for doing so in an event I can actually compete. Not only compete, but dominate. 72 hours? Man, I'm just getting warmed up at that mark. Well, OK, not really, but attempting to break that record sounds like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to stay awake for as long as it took to start hallucinating; might as well do it while watching TV. Talk about combining the best of both worlds. Life is good...
