15 Facts About David Dirks as Written by Steve Wylie

1. Dave has an intense love for lightning, but an immobilizing fear of thunder. So much so that he was forced at a young age to give up on his first career choice of being an Oklahoma storm chaser.

2. Dave's middle initial J stands for Julio.

3. This middle name comes from his mother's obsession with the music of Paul Simon.

4. Dave doesn't know what the state bird of California is, but he would tell you that he knew if you were asking and he were in the position to be an authority on the subject. It's the California Quail David!

5. Dave's favorite sport is basketball. His least favorite is public execution.

6. Dave is baffled by the science behind the creamsickle, and I support him in this. How in the hell are orange and vanilla two great tastes that go great together?

7. Dave believes the rickshaw is an underrated mode of transportation. He's wrong, it's adequately rated.

8. When trying to pick up ladies Dave likes to drop a packet of sugar on the floor and tell them that they dropped their name tag.

9. Because of number 8 Dave has a difficult time meeting diabetics.

10. If Dave could pick his last meal before his death, it would be In-N-Out Burger and Fresca.

11. When asked who his favorite Ninja Turtle was, David said Slimer.

12. The complete ingredients to making the cocktail known as the "Dave Dirks" are a secret, but I'm pretty sure one of them must be pool water.

13. Dave once said that if he could be the drummer for any band, that band would be the White Stripes.

14. Dave likes books, but he doesn't like-like books. I mean, he and books can hang out or talk on the phone sometimes, but don't be asking him to be in a book club or anything.

15. The first words Dave ever said to me were, "Dude, are you gonna chug that maple syrup or what?" To be fair though, we were both lumberjacks at the time.
