Mama's House

So in honor of EJ's 22nd I was thinking maybe I'd list 22 reasons why EJ makes for a good cousin but then realized I couldn't even think of 5 reasons thought it would better if everyone contributed. I'll start us all off,

1. He went to a decent college, meaning at least he didn't go to USC.
   
2. He has good taste in music.
   
3. Unlike Austin, he likes family, or at least he doesn't say he doesn't like Austin does.
   
4. He's not Roland.*

So can we come up with 18 more reasons in the comments as to why we like EJ as a cousin? And EJ, try not to cheat.

*If Roland reads this, I'm only kidding and if not, it's so funny because it's so true.

*Disclaimer: All of this is historical fact. Alright, so somewhere along the 8th item on this list I got a bit lazy looking stuff up to put on the list. Quite frankly, not all that much happened of historical significance on this date. Faye was born on probably the most historically insignificant/boring day ever.
