Title: Meet Eric, 22, who lives life as a MERMAN .....

When Eric Ducharme slips into his handmade fin to explore the crystal clear waters of Florida’s natural springs as a merman, he says he’s mentally transported as well.
So is the unique, eye-catching life of this Florida man who says he eats, sleeps and breathes mermaids while physically looking and acting like one as often as time allows.
'It's a lifestyle. It's a path in life that I have chosen,' says the 22-year-old from Crystal River who’s one of the latest characters to appear on TLC's My Crazy Obsession.

Acceptance: No matter how you see it, he describes the tails as 'a fun and exciting physical activity' that his family and even boyfriend have accepted

I assume he doesn't work anywhere, and is on the social security disability gravy-train.

Oops, I guess I was wrong, despite it being a quite reasonable assumption.

He owns a business manufacturing fish tails.

He came out as a Merman.

His aunt Ethel would be so proud of him...

If he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, he would be a Mormon Merman!

Look at what a pouf he looks like.  Weirdo.  I don't think I'll be watching that show.

Wasn't there a club somewhere that had mermaids swimming in a tank?

Crystal River. Weak. I've scuba dived at Ginnie Springs. Try living out your "merman" fantasies in the Everglades, *****.

Aquaman likes it like that!

Under the sea, under the sea.
Darling, it's better down where it's wetter.
Take it from me!

Stories like this really arouse my anchor.  At first I thought "abalone," but then I realized the guy needs kelp.

When I read that story I knew he was gay the first paragraph but I kinda think it's cute in a weird way.  He gets solace being alone out there acting like a mermaid.  As long as he doesn't force me to accept his mermaidness I am cool.  And you know he won't be showing up for marches....  :-)

No, just Ginnie. They have a cave, but a lot of it is barred due to deaths in the past.

Kings Spring and Manatee Springs are caves. Had to go into them at night and turn out the light to get Advanced Open Water certification and the beginning of Cave Diving certification. WHY? I don't know. I hate caves that have only air in them.

I wonder if he would date UGP's gay male panther part? They are practically a match made in Aesop.
