Tim H.!
If you don't know Tim Hays, well...he'd like to change that. This affable, fresh-faced hipster and former HSQB has the distinction of knowing Chris the longest of the Friend-of-Chris candidates, coming in about a year or so before Lauren Madigan [whose FOC candidacy at this time is in question]. He enjoys music, movies, internationals and spirits [libations, not ghosts], architecture, toiletries and merriment. He'd give you, but preferably Chris, the snug tee off his back if you needed it.
Tim had this say upon learning of the FOC nomination:
"I must say I think I have one up on friendship longevity with Chris, considering he and I were freshmen back in 1995 [at Virginia Tech] together. Even though there was a time in between that was rather dormant, it just goes to show that no matter how long someone is away, you just don't seem to skip a beat with Chris. That says a lot for Chris's character, and mine as well. But this isn't about me."
He continued, "I feel the reason why there's such a solid friendship between Chris and I is because we both like the simple necessities in life: exceptional food, a tasty drink, the beautiful outdoors, lively music, good comedy, friendly animals, exciting sporting events, neat electronics, mechanical gadgets, power tools and home repair. I mean, the list is endless. Those kinds of things keep conversation endless between Chris and me. We are both 'Jacks of all Trades.' In the event of humans dying in the distant future, Chris and I have the ability to be totally self-sufficient. I understand that this is just a nomination, and that's what counts. Chris knows I will always be there for him."
CW replies: We could skip lunch off that slice of humble pie. But we won't. Tim, in a perfect world, your loyalty and earnest prose would be enough for us here at CW to honor you with the award. But alas, your fate lies in the hands of our readership. For an award is meaningless if the people themselves do not bestow it.

Not to find flaw with another candidate's "treatise", but I have to question the other Tim's thoughts on self sufficiency. I'm sorry, but I highly doubt Chris would be able to survive on his own, since he is not even capable of mixing his own bourbon-and-coke, and is, in fact, heavily dependent upon the editor-in-chief for such tasks.
Too true!
