Growing up with Adam was obviously a unique experience. It's not like our childhood would have been normal without Adam's... charms. But he certainly added some flavor to my life over the past 28 years of mine. So for his birthday, I'll recall 16 of my favorite "Adam Stories." (note: these are not all of Adam's favorite 'adam and molly' stories. I don't like the ones where he grossed me out or hurt me.)
16) There was the time I introduced Danny to Adam. Within hours, Adam was in full-on "adventure" mode. Part of which involved moving a burning fire log around with his hands. Another part involved Adam munipulating hipsters into the river. And there was also the series of wrestling matches (adam v. everyone else, one by one.)
15) Once we were at Pink Godzilla. Adam got up during dinner to go make a phone call. An hour later he showed up wet, claiming he'd been at the vacuum store?
14) It was an interesting family dinner when Adam flipped the dinner table, yelled "I wasn't SMIRKING!" and disappeared for a couple of days.
13) Turns out: Drugs? They don't pay.
12) Once we went out downtown. We stopped at a gas station on the way home so that Adam could take several pictures of the bathroom mirror.
11) There was also that weird night at Santa Cruz Diner when Adam made napkin people for all of Jenny's college friends.
10) I also liked the story of when my family went on a family vacation without Adam- and somehow thought that my college-aged cousins would be suitable chaperones? Adam totally wound up with stitches and a shady story.
9) Ha! Adam remember the time you asked the waitress for a bandaid, because your toilet-paper-wrapped-in-plastic-wrap was failing? And she brought you a side of mayo??
8) Adam once told his college friends that the words to "The Weight" were not, in fact, "Take a load off Annie," but, "Take a load off FANNY." They didn't believe him, so naturally he was able to produce official sheet music?!?
7) There was also the DDD day. Don't really know where to start there- but I do like the part when Adam offered to pay a guy $5 to carry a couch 5 blocks- only for the guy to get hurt (when effing Jamar jumped on it...) and leave without the money. But the five blocks also included jumping an 8 foot wall. With a couch?
6) The conversation between Adam and my father-in-law about Star Trek had to be the funniest/most disturbing five minutes ever.
5) How whenever Adam hears you mention him being an eighth of an octave off, he'll politely remind you that it's really a fifth.
4) The video of Matt as THE-GREAT-ZY-GONE-DEE-TUR and Adam as a powerful, magical, evil talking Horse? Greatest movie of all time.

2) The day in 1996 when Adam stood up in front of our high school and sang the guitar solo from "The Joker"
1) Wait. Whatever happened to sukh's tent?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!
