Happy (Belated) Birthday, Home Run Joey

On Tuesday, Joey turned 24. Unfortunately, I was too busy drinking frozen drinks and house hunting in Statesboro to construct a birthday post in his honor. Better late than never I guess.

10 good things about Joey:

1:Absolutely flawless hair. There are guys at Ole Miss, Alabama, and Georgia who would kill for what Joey's got going on. With the Ping hat out of the question, Peggy will have to fight off the skanks.

2: He can drink a lot without getting obnoxious. Joey is a cool guy who's fun to hang out with. As he drinks more, he becomes even cooler. Few people have this trait.

3: He runs one hell of a blog. OTIO saw dark days but Joey brought it back, and now it's stronger than ever.

4: There are a lot of funny people who say funny things, and there are a lot of people who write funny things. Joey can do both without saying or writing that much.

5: He has a cool chickenhead in Peggy. He does her thing with her but she doesn't run his life. She's good looking and cool and doesn't bother me so he's got a winner.

6: He appreciates the nightlife and restaurants on Tybee Island.

7: His recap of the infamous Scary Croissant incident is still the funniest thing I've ever heard.

8: Joey appreciates Rick for who he is.

9: He's a smart guy, and he likes sports a lot. He knows a lot about sports. I've yet to hear him tell someone how smart he is or say shit that tries to prove how smart he is. He's the same way with sports.

10: He's just a good guy- one of the guys that you can't see ever changing. 30 years from now he'll be right there with us drinking beers on the beach or eating wings at the Quarter.

Good luck in Augusta, Home Run Joey. You are certainly a big dog and a good friend.

10-6!
