Happy Birthday Damon

Posted by Picasa


Our friend Damon turned 31 today. Here are 10 things you might not know about Damon:
1. Damon likes to keep his house at a balmy 85 in the summer and a crisp 62 in the winter, much to the chagrin of his wife.
2. Damon has more body hair then a Yeti. His body hair keeps him warm while he swims in the dead of winter.
3. Damon works at St. Jude where is main job is borrowing mices eyeballs to experiment on. According to some of his patient's moms Damon is the George Clooney of St. Jude.
4. According to Damon's Mii age he is only 29. What he is lacking in is stamina, much to the chagrin of his wife.
5. Damon's favorite restaurant is Chipolte. He has even paid for a tee-shirt to walk around giving them free advertising.
6. Damon is not a huge fan of dogs. He jumps and squeals like a school girl when either of our 10 lb dogs jump on his lap or come anywhere near his toes. He once threw his pregnant wife in front of him to protect himself from a dog on walk.
7. Damon doesn't believe in throwing anything away. He still has clothes in his closet from high school.
8. Damon can eat more than anyone I know (except for my brother-in-law Kevin). He regularly eats left over baby food off Isabelle's face and hands. Damon can also eat two entrees from Pei-Wei.
9. His favorite band is Tool. Last year for his birthday I got him this tee shirt. Damon is also a huge fan of Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. He sometimes says that he is Damonlicious.
10. Damon is one of the more liberal people I know. After he finishes his Fellowship, he plans on moving to Minnesota just so he can vote for his hero, Al Franken.

Well Done Jon (and Beth?).
First off, I am very impressed with the list. I will make some points.

1. The house is currently 80 and air conditioning starts July 1st. 62 in the winter only applies near the vents.
2. I’m glad you didn’t have the photos of my first nads experience with Jen de-yeti-ing me. Talk about screaming like a girl! I can’t make the clever links so I guess those interested will have to cut and paste. For Nads info: http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/373.html
3. I work with “experimental models” for the record. And most of my time is dedicated to tiny liquids, not animals. I can’t argue with the “George Clooney” comment – guilty.
4. As for Wii, Jon you’ll be facing off with Josie, a 7yo girl without Wii experience. I give you a 50/50 shot at your first tennis victory.
5. Love Chipotle, one is being delivered next week by Abbie, the wonderful grad student in the lab.
6. Dogs scare me and occasionally eat children’s faces. I think the 2 are related.
7. The true high school link, complete with my class year alumni page:
http://canfield.access-k12.org/chs/alumni/1994/1994.htm
Most interesting to me is that Rose Rocca try as she may hasn’t made her goal of becoming a porn star yet. Who knew it was so difficult (you thought I’d say “hard” there didn’t you?) http://www.fitsights.com/roserocca/home.shtml
8. Love eating mass quantities for dinner. Don’t eat Breakfast and quick lunches. Like a Lion or anaconda large infrequent meals.
9. Love Tool. “I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this s___ blood and c__ on my hands…”
10. I am appalled by the Franken page. The man is genius. You know the republicans are evil-doers. As I age and accumulate responsibility though, I just may side with the corrupt corporatocracy that currently rules the world so that my retirement accounts continue to grow. How sad. “They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot…”

Thanks...I tried to see what t-shirt you'd gotten from tshirthell.com and I immediately got a reprimand from Spectrum Health telling me

"Access to this site has been denied due to content with the following subjects: Sex & Erotica, Discrimination, Hate, & Violence"

If I get fired, I hope Beth can get me a job at St Jude's!
