{{Karl|I graduated from Nichols School (Buffalo) in '87. Oh gross, that's 10 years ago! It was a dress code preppy school. I was a quiet rebel.}} | {{Karl|I graduated from Nichols School (Buffalo) in '87. Oh gross, that's 10 years ago! It was a dress code preppy school. I was a quiet rebel.}} | ||

{{Karl|I was turned onto the Clash, [[Devo]], Wall of Voodoo, Talking Heads and Bob Marley in 8th grade. By 10th grade it was all about skateboarding, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Minutemen, etc.(Quite radical for Buffalo in 1985!) This is all the fault of Pat Finn(now of The Special Goodness) who was sent to S.F. for 9th grade and came back bearing good things. As far as metal goes, we could not deny "Reign in Blood" by Slayer when it hit in '86. What an insane album. And on Def Jam too! That whole Ratt/Poison/Motley Crüe thing was for "pussies." Due to school/parents, I looked totally ordinary during this time, except whilst skateboarding (Misfits Fiend Club t-shirt, etc...)}} | {{Karl|I was turned onto [[the Clash]], [[Devo]], Wall of Voodoo, Talking Heads and Bob Marley in 8th grade.

{{Karl|I am vegetarian but not really for the healthy, crunchy, PC reasons. I just started getting grossed out by eating dead stuff. I'd never make it as a vegan - I eat tons of cheese...pizza rocks, as do Mexican, Italian, peanut butter on toast, ...you get the idea. Junk food vegetarianism.}} | {{Karl|I am vegetarian but not really for the healthy, crunchy, PC reasons. I just started getting grossed out by eating dead stuff.
