SoCal man seeks world record in Rose Bowl

[Mr Morningstarr*]

It's a bottom-bruising task, but Jim "Mouth" Purol is determined to set a world record by sitting in all 92,542 seats of Pasadena's Rose Bowl.

The 56-year-old Anaheim resident, wearing a hat to ward off the heat, started his quest Monday morning in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record in the newly created category "Most Seats Sat in 48 Hours."

He has to sit in 40,000 different seats by Wednesday morning to set the record. He says it will take him until Friday to sit in every seat.

Purol already holds 22 Guinness World Records, including stuffing 280 straws into his mouth.

Donations from his Rose Bowl feat will go to Outward Bound Los Angeles, which provides wilderness trips for low-income urban youth.

Well i hope he makes it. But how long does he sit in each seatt?

Jim Purol took a seat at the Rose Bowl, and then another, and then another, until he broke a world record.

The Anaheim man set a Guiness World Record on Wednesday for "Most Seats Sat in 48 Hours" by sitting in 39,250 seats.

He began the task Monday morning, and he's still going, hoping to rest his tush in each of the stadium's 92,542 seats by sometime this week.

The 56-year-old, who already holds several other world records, says he has dreamed of tackling the Rose Bowl seats for 20 years — ever since he sat in all 107,501 chairs at the University of Michigan's football stadium.

The feat has taken a toll on his body and his cleanliness, as soot on the seats rubbed off on his clothes. He says he loves the Rose Bowl but calls the place "filthy."

Yes. But how many seconds or minutes did he sit on each seat?
