\nJason Walters, UncommonGoods Area Operations Manager\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

My hometown\u2026<\/strong>
\nPeterstown, West Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m passionate about\u2026<\/strong>
\nBooks, movies and TV. I love that they allow us to see the world through someone else’s eyes.<\/p>\n

The best gift I\u2019ve ever received is\u2026<\/strong>
\nA quilt that my grandmother made for me. I’ve moved around a lot on my way to Brooklyn and I can’t say that I have too many of the possessions that I started out with, but the quilt will always be something that I bring along.<\/p>\n

The word or phrase that best describes me\u2026<\/strong>
\nEasygoing.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m probably\u2026<\/strong>
\nWhen the weather is nice, I try to spend as much time outside as possible, so a picnic in the park or drinks outdoors are two of my favorite warm weather activities. Otherwise, you’ll probably find me at BAM<\/a>. I try my best to see all the movies that come through.<\/p>\n

Something that always makes me laugh\u2026<\/strong>
\nBad puns, Popsicle stick jokes<\/a>, general Dad humor<\/a>. In fact, here’s a freebie, where do cantaloupes spend their summer vacations?………..At John Cougar’s Melon Camp!\u00a0You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

The most challenging thing I\u2019ve ever done is\u2026<\/strong>
\nDeciding whether or not to tell you, the internet, the Melon Camp joke. Ultimately, I thought the world a better place with that joke out there. Again, you’re welcome.<\/p>\n

If my 6th grade teacher could see me now, he or she would say\u2026<\/strong>
\n“Oh, hi Jason, I see you finally got the braces off….and is the beard new?”<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI am a Knight of the Golden Horseshoe<\/a>. Every year in West Virginia, students who score well on a test covering history, geography, economy, government, and general state trivia (Did you know that Don Knotts<\/a> and Mary Lou Retton<\/a> are from WV?) get inducted into the Society of the Golden Horseshoe. The end result is a knighting ceremony where each student kneels and then someone would do the thing where they tap a sword on both of your shoulders! I’m not positive that my knighthood is legitimate in any way, but occasionally I will request that people call me by my proper title of Sir Jason. No one ever has….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
