memorable sayings

I had planned to try to do this in some sort of chronological order, but the memories fade so I'll just start throwing things out there.

These are some of my favorite quotes from the TSOT days.

Lethbridge, Alberta was the scene of a rather dismal week as I recall. We didn't go over all that well, except with a small crowd of alternative freaks. One night a girl says to Tom, "I'd like to see you naked." Tom's response, "You're not missing anything."

Edmonton, Alberta. We didn't have much to do there except wander up and down Whyte Ave. There were a few buskers and a number of kids just pan handling. One guys asks us for some change and Brian said, "Come on, do something! Sing, dance, pee your pants!"

location unknown(help me Tom): Tom and I went in to do a radio interview. There was also a reggae guy there from Jamaica. Tom told a story about sneaking into the hot springs in Banff and the police showing up. Reggae guy says, (insert accent here)"Beware of the police in truth, mon."

    I remember the quote "Beware of the police in truth, mon" but I couldn't tell you where or when.
    Here's one I used today as a matter of fact. Banff Alberta. I had rigged up some wiring that made our fog machine able to be controlled from the light board. Unfortunately the fog machine was out of commission and the wires were just hanging there not being used. Quite often we'd get people who would go up to the sound (Ron) or lighting (Brian) techs and quiz them on they're equipment. "What's that knob do?", "What's that button for?. This time is was Brian's turn. This rather attractive girl, maybe 20 came up and asked him "What are those wires for?" she inquired. Brian, without any hesitation responded "I don't know but if you put them in your mouth they taste like blueberries". So she did...
