Steve Williamson was born on January 3 1960 in beautiful crime free Memphis TN.
He is world renowned for being the laziest person on earth possibly the universe. He is currently going blind from Diabetes because he refuses to take care of himself and drinks way too much. Steve is still living in Frayser where his home was recently burglarized (again). Apparently Steve installed a window unit and did not secure it any way allowing easy entry into his humble abode. But luckily for Steve, who is currently the front runner in a heated race for the prestigous role of Mayor of Frasier (more on that later), there was nothing left to steal but a ghetto Wal-Mart DVD player.
