"Gnomon Copies? It's over there." (Pointing)
Then Kevin realizes that the woman asking him where Gnomon Copies is is blind and can not see where he is pointing. Classy Kevin, very classy. Ryan and I were trying not to laugh.

Becca765: i hate real life turned into key words and power point

"I look over and see some guy rolling down the hill and I'm like, 'What the hell is that?' and [Newbury Comics woman] looks and says,'That's your ride.' I knew things were going to be interesting." - Uni Greg on DONNIE BALLGAME weekend.

"Syracuse, bring it up and you'll get a reaction. There's gonna be an opinion. A strong one, and that's what we've alwys been about. A passionate response. Syracuse in a way is a litmus test, a gauge, a wedge that you tumble down - one side of the other.

Probably the smallest town with the biggest reputation. The illusion has always overshadowed the reality since day one (1989). If you've been around, I'm sure you've partaken in the talk at least once. The background is there and the tales have grown longer (and in my opinion, better)with time and distance. What we end up with is legacy and infamy. Lets embrace it. Hell, what is history anyway but a fable that's been agreed upon. I don't want this to become a history lesson anyway, just a volume of struggle, honor, and glory. Afterall, it's our fuckin' story.

So, what's all the hype about? If you've read this far, you're most likely interested and you probably already know some of the folklore. You've heard it, vegan stronghold - straightedge Mecca - superhardcorefunworldcompletewithrollercoaster. All right, let's not go overboard. At times, we have been some of these things. But as with most great ideas, we've never really reached our potential. I'm chalking that one up to human falilbility abd oversized ideals. Not lack of desire. Let's face it, the world we want and the goals we aim for are way larger than us or our lifespans. I think that's what has always held us apart, though. We thrive on the idea. It's not the goal, but the work put in that gives us satisfaction. The romance of battling the undefeatable. The fact that we may be the last ones who believe. Defending the faith. Never giving up on the dream. In essence, remaining young in spirit, though maybe jaded. Adapting, recreating, but always on the same indestructable foundation. Just being stubborn and refusing to quit. Facing the opposition day after day. We've always heard their mockeries and never taken heed. Outlasting our detractors - this is a victory unto itself. Baby steps my friend.

Why do we care about all this shit anyway? WHy not give up...blend in, nest and forget? Because we can't. We never could. I don't know what it is that divides "us" from "them" but fuck, I can feel it. The wheat seperates from the chaff and in the end, we do what we do to make ourselves happy. Selfishness is a sad cold fact. Hopefully what makes us happy is a sense of justice and responsibility to something large than ourselves. I'll let you pick your own. Be it family, community, country or god. I'll choose all of the above. Creation of a greater good starts with us...and then more of us. This will be our destiny. From our town to yours. On these streets. In these homes. In these hearts, we have started something. We create the future...you should do the same." - DJ Rose on Syracuse Hardcore

Wisdom from a boy back home called Jimbo...

"Its funny to think that all around us, there exists a world we dont even know about. This is, of course, the land of the invisible scary monkey skeletons."

"I think there should be something in science called the "reindeer effect." I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect."

"If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone."

"For a while, I was thinking that I should join the Procrastinator's Club...but then I realized that I would probably never go to any of the meetings. O well...so much for that idea"

"If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice." "To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."'
