"I don’t normally post my personal opinions, but I strongly believe that the invention of the parachute was a game changer for the sky diving industry." - Carter Deems

Today is Carter Deems' birthday and so today we celebrate Carter Deems.

If you're not already familiar with the "Young Cat Hoarder," he's an Atlanta-based emcee who's been in the game since the Grind Time era — the type to invite his opponents to a pizza party quicker than to diss them in a battle.

Recently sidelined by medical issues, he's deprived his adoring fans from any new battle footage recently, but he still regularly posts his unique brand of comedy gold on Facebook and Twitter.

So here we present some of Carter's recent musings, paired with artwork from illustrator and battler Random Cushing. If you're interested in buying the original drawings, contact the artist at [email protected]
