### Childhood

Jim did his Aunt Whitney's beer runs when he was 8, because he looked like he was 21. Although, it could be that Jim actually was 21 and Whitney forgot, because she forgets everything. ("Bad Boy's Porn Problem")

When Jim's cousin B.J. was a kid and Jim was 8, Jim hid his blankie, so B.J. roofied him, took him into the woods, and left him there. Jim was gone for two years, and when he finally came back, he'd forgotten how to speak English, instead speaking a weird forest language that sounds like a cross between a cricket and a bear. ("Bad Boy's Porn Problem")

Jim got famous from this, getting the nickname of the Forest Boy of India-nuh. ("Bad Boy's Porn Problem")

When Jim was a teenager, he stripped. His manager said he danced like he was made of wood when he was naked. ("Bad Delivery Boy")
