Fish Eyeballs & Manly Men...

Bridger idolizes his Uncle Brian. It has been an on-going story in our family ever since my brother, Keith, had his wedding dinner, so I guess the story actually starts about 9 years ago... So here goes... At Keith's wedding dinner, we went to a wonderful Vietnamese Restaurant for dinner. My brother-in-law, Brian, had served his mission to Hawaii & was in heaven with all these seafood delicacies. One of the courses that was brought out had a big old fish on it, head & all! Well, Brian decides to show off to everyone & SUCKS THE EYEBALL RIGHT OUT OF THE FISH HEAD! You should have seen all the dry-heaving & laughing! Absolutely disgusting, absolutely hilarious, absolutely a cool story for a 9 year old boy!
Well the day before Thanksgiving, 2007, Bridger, his daddy, & his sister, Brikenna, went fishing & caught some fish. That night, Brian & his family got to our house & Bridger thought it was the perfect opportunity for Brian to PROVE once & for all he actually DID suck an eyeball out of a fish! Tony grabbed the video camera, Brian grabs hold of a dead RAW fish, & sucks that eyeball right out! You should've heard all the gagging in the background! My sisters, Jen & Karmen both ran straight for the bathroom because they were seriously gonna barf! Since it was a bit crowded in there, I just stood with my fingers in my ears, eyes closed, mumbling over & over again, "Oh, my heck! Oh, my heck!" Sure enough, Brian proved his manliness - even swallowed it - then had to begin taunting Bridger & his cousin, Justin, for them to prove their manliness! Are you a "Manly- Man? Huh Huh?!!?" I tried to download the video to both this site & to YouTube to make a link, but both of them said the file was too big, dang it all! Anywhoo~ thru-out the video, you can see Bridger laughing, sucking, laughing, gagging, sucking, & trying his dangest to get an eyeball out! Uncle Brian even decides he should scoop the eyeball out first to make it easier on Bridger, but that just made the gagging worse! Justin got his nerve up, did a huge suck, & then proceeds to stick out his tongue & SHOW us the eyeball sitting on his tongue! Oh, freak! I was gagging like no other, & Jen & Karmen both ran upstairs so they couldn't hear the noises anymore. Finally after 10 disgusting minutes of hilarious video, Bridger gets the stupid eyeball sucked out! While everyone is cheering on his "Manly-Man"-ness, he runs to the sink & throws it up! Oh, welcome to the Ruuds house for Thanksgiving!
