It's All About the Daves
A website that celebrates everything Dave.

This is a website that celebrates everything Dave — the name, the legends, the lore, and the stolen office drink that started it all.

In 2009, a Dave came back to the office fridge to find one of his drinks missing. In a moment that was, admittedly, very un-Dave-like, he stretched a piece of blue tape across the remaining bottles and the empty space where the stolen one had been, and wrote four simple words: "Is your name Dave?" It was his way of saying these are mine. As luck would have it, the person who took the bottle was also a Dave. He left a sticky note that said it all: "Yes! My name is Dave! Thanks for the free drink! Daves 4 Life!!!" Joe from Van Nuys, CA posted the photo to passiveaggressivenotes.com, the internet lost its mind, and the Daves4Life! nation was born.
