Pet Peeves: not being organized, when a person leaves their trash or mess for someone else to clean up, disrespect

Least favorite food: Gizzards…the texture is nasty
What makes you laugh? My wife, Tim Hawkins, myself.
What is weird about you? I have some weird OCD tendencies, specifically with my personal library of books. They have to be put on the shelf a certain way and I don’t like to put a book on my bookshelf unless I have read the entire book. And I also make random, weird noises.
