Happy Ivey Day

5 years ago on this day, a cymbal clock was promised to one man by three roommates as a celebratory offering for his day of birth.

Sadly, that clock never came to be. Probably because of laziness and drinking. What can we say, it was college.

But today I would like to offer a metaphorical clock of my own.

We should all take a second to wish the founder of OSS and resident politicite/drummer/tall man/chocolatier Mike Ivey a happy 27th birthday today.

While Mike's coming to this world trumps all other, here's a quick rundown of events taking place on Dec. 5th:

• Walt Disney was born (1901)


• National Prohibition came to an end (1933)


• The first US fraternity was organized (1776)


• 8th President, and founder of the Van Buren Boys, Martin Van Buren was born (1782)

Happy Birthday Buddy, you're a true master of karate and friendship for everyone.
