Your Chris Weekly December Friend of Chris:
BRETT T!
Birthdate: 3/17/1980
Eye color: Brown ("I had a girl tell me they were hazel once but I don't know what that was about")
Height: 6'4 ... and a half!
Weight: 230 ("To quote Big Black: 'Muscle weighs more than fat, son.'")
Chris's brother and friend spoke to us exclusively about receiving such a distinguished, revered accolade:
CW: So, you've been named December's Friend of Chris. What does this honor mean to you?
Brett: It means ... (long pause to gather my composure and obtain perspective) ... it means a lot.
It's easy to be FOC in a good month. When it's all whiskey, Eamonn's, functional automobiles and triumphant football games, its high-five city. But this has been a month filled with adversity. With the loss of his favorite Redskin, he lost a 'mayjah' source of his hope and joy. With the loss of his automobile, he lost the ability to get his ass around. And in both cases, I feel I stepped up.
Because I share his love for Sean Taylor, I was able to get through the tough times with Chris, as I could relate to his sorrow. Who else cries at the loss of a guy he has never met but who's athleticism he admires? Brett does, that's who. As far as the car thing goes ... well, I've got one so that means Chris has one. My willingness to help he and his [caring, devoted, patient] old lady get around was huge. And why not be such a good friend to Chris? He has after all been with me since the beginning.
CW: Tell us about some of your hobbies.
Brett: Geology, baseball, breathing, avoiding small talk, analyzing levels of human discomfort, avoiding confrontation, gettin' "Boggsed out"
CW: What's the last thing you listened to on your iPod?
Brett: "Beautiful Struggle" by Talib Kweli. I keeps it real.
CW: What's your favorite movie?
Brett: Godfather II. That crazy look in Michael's eye when Kay tells him that she had an abortion?!
CW: Favorite restaurant?
Brett: South Austin Grill. Again, I keeps it real.
CW: Any info/suggestions for the ladies?
Brett: Take care of your feet. You can tell a lot about a girl by the condition of her feet. If she keeps her feet pretty, it's a good bet everything else is in good shape.
Congratulations, Brett, from all of us here at Chris Weekly, and keep up the good work!

I didn't think it could get any better but it has. First I was the mom of Chris and now I have the honor of being the mom of a FOC. This is a double honor month.
