Smollop: Oofty Goofty
The episode is about Leonard Borchardt, a sideshow performer. He was born in Berlin and made his way to the US as a stowaway at the age of 14. He drifted from state to state until signing up for the US cavalry. But deserted after learning that he would be fighting Native Americans (not because he had a soul but because they might scalp him.) In San Francisco at the age of 22 two men offered him a job in a "Museum show" and accepted without knowing what the job was. His job was to be the "Wildman of Borneo." He was covered in tar and horse hair and stuck in a cage and ate raw meat. The act only lasted about a week when two Irish men came in and began poking him in the ribs. He yelled something in English and "that was that." The show folded and the men left with the money. He was left covered in tar and hair, becoming ill due to it. Doctors finally removed it by using a tar solvent and laying him on the roof. He then became a mascot for a baseball team. If the team won he got 20 dollars but if they lost then the team got to beat him up. He quit because of this. He was arrested for deserting the army, but was later released because he fell some distance. He then got a job to drink 6 beers using a teaspoon in ten minutes while smoking a cigar. He was kicked out and discovered that he felt no pain. He then toured the city and allowed himself to be beaten for those who payed a price, This ended when he got beaten up by John L Sullivan and found that he could feel pain once again. Then because of a bet he attempted to push a wheelbarrow from San Francisco to New York. He failed. He then preformed in a Shakespeare spoof called "Borneo and Juliette." He then allowed himself to be shipped to Sacramento in a box as a joke gift for a young lady. He was invited to Texas and at a party was asked if he could eat 30 quail in a hour. He then went from oil field to oil field and entertained workers by racing to drink beer using a bar spoon and engaging in quail eating competitions. He the became an imitation diamond merchant. He was interviewed by the Houston Daily Post and it is unknown what happened to him after the interview.
