Origin Story:
I met Butler back in Jr. High, at Hosterman Middle School. That must have been in 7th grade, in about 1993-1994. Butler moved and went to Sandburg the next year. When we started High School at Cooper in 1995 we were in the same home room, with good old Ron Chagnon. Anyway, we became friends Freshmen year of High School. High School was the days of snow football in the empty lot across the street from my house after school almost every day with Scott Burdick and Brian Hawks. Ah, memories.
Pissed Me Off When: He was supposed to buy Flogging Molly concert tickets for us the week before the show. The day before the show he tells me he never bought the tickets, but by then it was already sold out. I wan't able to get tickets and missed the show. Thanks a lot Butler! :(
Strangest Physical Feature: Constantly changing hair colors and styles. Oh, and a shout out for that great hat covered in pins!
Odor Factor: Can be high at times...8
Likelyhood to belch and/or fart in your presence(1-10): 7
#1 Activity we've done over the years: Well, I'd have to say playing sports in general is probably number 1 with all those years of football and then all those years of weekly basketball lately. But a close second would probably be board games. Whenever Butler could come over to my house in high school(after the walk across a semi-frozen Twin Lake usually) he'd spend the night and we'd play board games all night. I've got a great photo of us, probably from around 1995, with me in my Jurassic Park pajamas, playing chess in my living room with a large image of Adoph Hitler on the TV in the backround. Classic!

Common Interests: C (we have sports and board games)

I should mention that this is meant to be funny, and not to alienate all of my friends. ;)

So please...don't hate me!
