My oh my the things Canadians do well.

How the hell is it that the record for couch potatoing is only 69 hours, while dancing and bowling are 100? I swear I could 70 hours no sweat, in fact I probably have.

Also, what is a "live" potato?

I imagine that's to differentiate from a bronze potato, considering they're talking about a trophy.

Maybe it's in a pot still growing?

The difference (for me...) is that it would be ridiculously hard to just stay awake if I were sitting on a comfortable sofa, whereas with the bowling and dancing, I'd have adrenaline and movement to keep me going and engaged.

I'd fall asleep after six hours, I'm sure.

Oh, ssleeeep. To me, that qualifies as potatoing but I will defer to Guinness.
