Dave Hopping is a funny guy. He was a campus comedian and my pal, so I made him a comic. He used to do songs, like a song about AIM to the tune of Jewel's "You Were Meant for Me" and a reverse-contrafaction style Christmas song from "The Hannukah Song" by Adam Sandler. He also used to take his shirt off and draw on his stomach. We was most famous, however, for his purple hat. I don't think he wears it anymore.
