Smiley Jim Clawson was one of the first idiot brothers in the Order after it's original 20 were appointed.  His response set the standard for strangers wanting to be FOIB members.  A story, a dedication to PropTalk, and the ability to weave tales like no other.  I list Clawson's Tales as a version of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.  He has promised to continue to send his list of rugby stories spanning 2 decades (from 18 to now, where he is in his 30s.)

Rarely do we mention significant others on PropTalk, but Jim's wife, (email is Mrsclaws - ha) took a large interest in one of the past PropTalk series "PropWorld."  Seems Jim's character (in name only) was spending a bit of time hooking up with random chicks in Aspen.  The story was fictional, but it drew the attention of his wife/girlfriend at the time.  I assure Mrs. Claws, that it was only fictional and in Jim's own words he has settled down from those wild days of 18-28.  Settled down maybe, but still an Idiot Brother.

Below are the first of several stories from Smiley.  Enjoy.
