2. George Hopkins is Satan

Surprisingly, no.

Maybe he's not, but I think Jack Rosenberg (aka Werner Ernhart) could be,

and I think he and George were at one time planning the take-over

of the world. :P

Don't make me send Vinny and Guido to your house...don't mess with "La Familia." :sshh:

I was there, I don't think that is the correct ratio.  My guess is maybe 65% straight and 35% homosexual.  That is a guess, mind you.  It didn't bother me since no one asked me to do anything I didn't want to do...no problem, IMO.

Uh, Sam...I was a part of that corps too and, being one of the gay guys in the hornline, can tell you that it was probably a lot closer to 80% straight/20%gay.

Oh, and btw...

To dispell yet another one of those nasty rumors...

NO...Madison, nor Cavaliers EVER had a couples bus.

Well...I'm pretty sure John H. was overestimating when he told me...'course, David's estimate is different from yous, and HE was in the corps, too!

Actually, I was WAITING for you to chime in....what took you so long? David beat you by three days or so!

I've heard the Bob Barker rumor evey year. I think that's something the whole world has been waiting for anyway.

I remember being on tour in 03' and reading a newspaper article about Strom Thurmonds death. I bought the paper to keep as a memento. Not sure why.

I remember that I'd get into an argument with some rookie pretty much every year. They'd mention that they heard Bob Barker was dead. I knew the routine by that point.

During 2002, I called home to talk with my mom. She tells me "Oh, your brother wanted me to tell you that that bassist from the Who died." (John Entwhistle passed away that summer, a couple of months before I was going to see my hero in concert). This bummed me out, so I mentioned it to someone else who liked the Who. He thought I was kidding, of course, and I had to call my mom back and ask her to send me a newspaper article proving it.

I also had a full free day in Chicago.

We've been to Chicago the last two years. The first year it was a full free day, mid-morning to about 9 or 10 at night. This year, after our parades on July 4th, we had 2 performances on Navy Pier later that night; one at the entrance and then one actually on the pier it's self. Aftwrwards we got about 3-4 hours in the city as free time, it kinda sucked not having the full day but performing on the pier for the 4th of July was a total blast - TONS of people stopping to listen.

Yeah, the Mandarin thing doesn't make sense as Korean.  My memory is not serving me well, but I do remember being told by someone that they were with a church.  Of course I was also had bad info on splooie and suta.
