Title: Random Goo Facts
Post by RogueUK on Feb 8^th, 2005, 10:14pm

Haha, I just found out a bunch of stuff I never knew before...

From the Dizzy up the Goos site:

http://dizzyupthegoos.freeservers.com/about.html

John

John lived - On the East Side of Buffalo on the Corner of Clark and Kent Streets (Which he and his sisters called "Superman Corner").

LMAO and I thought it was just me being a geek when I instantly thought 'Superman!" afer reading those street names...

Full Name - John Joseph Theodore Rzeznik

Theodore? THEODORE?

Mike and Robby should change their middle names to Alvin and Simon, respectively �;)

Height - 5' 9" - I thought John would be taller than that. He looks taller. I thought he'd be around the 6ft mark...

I also didn't know John had cats. I somehow thought he'd have dogs. He seems to really like dogs. Maybe it's too much hassle getting someone to take care of them when he goes off touring...? �???

Robby

Height - 5' 4"

Dude, I knew you were short...but THAT short?!

Well I guess GOOd things come in small packages!

And he's still taller than ME. Most people are...

Medaille College of Buffalo (degree in Communications)

So Robby's the only Goo with a degree? I can't figure this out...it lists Universities for all three but only mentions an actual DEGREE on Robby's bio...

I read somewhere that John dropped out of University...is that true?

Robby and John like to Skydive?!

You utter maniacs �:P I would never do that...I could get run over by a bus tomorrow! Why do I wanna increase my chances of untimely death by hurtling myself at the ground from a great height?!

Mike

Place Of Birth - Washington DC

So Mike isn't from Buffalo....I always wondered...I really should find out more stuff about Mike, 'cause he rocks and he's way underappreciated. All I know is that he's quiet and likes sports. And is rather tall!

Do share anymore random Goo facts...I like finding this stuff out. Because I'm a geek. No, I'm what would happen if a geek and a stalker got together and had an illegitimate child... :P

You've never seen that before? I think I ran across it a long time ago, but forgot about it.
I think Johnny looks taller because he's always next to robby. I still didn't think that John was 5' 9", I figured aroud 6 ft also. GOOd things DO come in small packages you are right!!!!
I also wanted to thank you for sending me silent night, I'm glad I heard it, but it was REALLY creepy!! I am getting ahold of the take me out to the ball game next week, and you said you wanted to hear it, so I'll let you know when I get it, and then you'll have to walk me through emailing it to you.

I'm sorry to inform you that Mike's middle name is also Theodore...

nm, I totally forgot that!!! Didn't he say that it was just a rumor that got started, and it wasn't true?
Hmmmm, totally forgot that.

Yeah, the rumor was "Gene". I'll take Theodore over Gene any day

My apologies to anyone named Gene

I think I'm pretty convinced that some of that info isn't true. As you already pointed out, Mike's middle name isn't Gene, isn't Theodore. It also says he graduated HS in 1980...?? When he was 13?? It must have been '85, when he was 18, unless he was a boy genius! Also, I read on Malininswoman's site that he had 2 sisters, one bro. Oh, one thing is right. Although all three did attend college, Robby IS the only one with a degree. That seems weird, kinda, doesn't it? I think Robby and Johnny probably went sky diving once, but I wouldn't classify doing something once as a hobby.

i believe the skydiving was done after their plane crash to help them get over their fear of flying.

I'm taller than Robby! ;D

Did you guys know that in the apartment John and Robby shared, they could drop a bowling ball anywhere in the house and it would always roll into the bathroom. Now theres a random fact!!!
Can't remember where I read that.
Also, Theodore, seems to me like a pretty uncommon name, yet John and Mike both have it.
Coincidence?

LMAO!! I like the bowling ball trivia! I wonder if they ever broke any stuff in the bathroom from doing that?? :P

Heh, for some reason I've always thought of John as being fairly middling in height - but then I think I knew Mike was 6' or so, so I guessed John must be a bit shorter from their photos...

LOL, wierd that both Mike and John are called Theodore...is it a popular middle name in the States? Maybe from President Roosevelt..?? :ponders: Ah, I dunno. :P Funky facts though!!

Johnny is Catholic. Theodore is propabally his confirmation name. Joseph would be his middle name. (When you are a Catholic you go through a confirmation in about 5th or 6th grade. You renew you dedication to the faith and take another name.)

I always wondered that! That explains a whole bunch of stuff. Mainly the lyrics to 'Slide'. Certain lines in 'Broadway' too ("You pray to statues when you sober up for fun...") It always seemed like personal anger when John made references to religion, and that led me to conclude that he probably was raised in a strict religious environment but I never had that confirmed till now.

Ah darn it, nmf016...that spoils my chipmunk-related fun then!

Well monessarae, I guessed Robby's height at about 5ft 6, and I guessed there was about half a foot between him and John, so that's why I had John at about 6ft...I thought Mike was taller than 6ft 2.

Haha, I told ya Silent Night sounded creepy...and yes, I would love to hear 'Take me out to the Ballgame' when you get it. Thanks very much. �;D

As far as the bowling ball thing goes...um...right...boys, do you generally make a habit of dropping bowling balls around the place to see where they roll to?! Bet their downstairs neighbours loved THAT! �:hahaha:
