Roark1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well you really cant call it a showdown when we have already won.... If its in the papers you know its true... :P I'm not sure what any of this has to do with Oktoberfest, as the article is about St. Patrick's Day and the U.S.S. Kittyhawk. I call B.S. The Tremendous Blast STILL rules the universe (and the Oktoberfest Parade).! Tremendous, Tremendous, Oh, Oh, Tremendous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mayer Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) ### Blasters Invited to sacred ceremony Sioux Falls, SD (January 10, 2004) - Tremendous Blast was invited to attend a first for the world, and responded with the typical Blasters response - "Heck Yes!" Taking the drive to South Dakota was a serious effort, but the cause was just, the motives true, and the need for the Blast was higher than ever. In the first ceremony of it's kind, German Wire Haired Terriers from around the world convened in this sedate city to be the first Terriers ever to be baptized. The ceremony itself was a sight to behold with hundreds of the hounds taking the full immersion ceremony with merely a yip. These animals could definitely feel the honor in being the first to go through the procedure and Tremendous Blast was proud to be there to assist. Corps Press Liaison Ben "Crappin" Findley was first to point out the obvious, "This little ceremony, this little happening is about the most Tremendous thing I've ever known, aside from our Corps itself. The tears, well, they welled up from within and were soon pouring out with no apparent end. It was truly beautiful. Tremendous learned a few new polkas for the ceremony including the "She Too Mangy Polka", the "First-Aide Barrel Polka", and a couple of Wagner Opera themes to set the tone for the entrance and exit of the Terriers. Many thanks to the folks in the International Wire Haired Terrier Organization for letting the Greatest Drum and Bugle Corps Ever take part in this sacred event. You can't make this stuff up. Why don't some you clowns get a job. Amen! Oh ya Todd, I forgot to tape this over some stupid news artical.

John Mayer Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Dearest Original Todd <**> I know you are at home, work or the library, trying to figure out the true meaning of the words that best describe your involvement with that LaCrosse group thing. Words like "lame", "stupid", "childish", "wasteoftime"and "bozo-like" which are usually saved for your beloved Packers, are now dancing through your little head, and you are now left cold, alone, and crying because of it. Well, I am (once again) here to help you ^OO^ , so by the power of the Tremendous, lets travel back to a day, when you wore the kilt of a younger man , and see why being Tremendous is all you need to know. (....and cue the way back machine music.....3...2...1....silent point) ### Tremendous Bassline Puts on Clinic in Vegas Las Vegas, Nev (June 24, 2003) - The mightiest of all, the Tremendous Bassline traveled to Las Vegas for an instructional clinic held at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. The eight piece section loaded up their drums and made a one day trip to feature in the Great American Bass Drum Learn-it or Lose-it Convention. Focusing throughout their three hour presentation on the skills that they have honed through the years at Tremendous Blast, they reaction from the crowd was outstanding. Experience levels of the pupils ranged from neophyte bass drummers to some of the most well known and influential drummers in the world. None less than the likes of Allison Miller, Ringo Starr, Bill Berry, Neil Peart, Brendan Hill, and several suspected Blue Men were in attendance for the groundbreaking clinic. "These men have forever changed the way I'll view my bottom," said Starr. Peart is reportedly working on revamping his touring set with 7 additional basses to try to utilize what he learned from the Blasters. Blast instructor Mighty P was at the Clinic to assist in the delivery. "These young men have come so far in such a short time, to rise above the rest of the drum world, and yet be willing to give, give, give. I've never been so proud of my pupils. We just want to give thanks to all the people of this wonderful city for welcoming us with open arms, and of course, helpin' a brother out when he was in need." ### Remember TOT (the original Todd) only you can control you, and you can still be Tremendous.
