.....the only thing you remember about Band Camp is the ride home

.....the sheep in your dreams are doing something other than jumping  
over fences

.....you serve "Rock Lobster" at your wedding reception

.....you get horrified looks from people around you when you sing along  
with "All My Lovings" or "I'm being followed by a Moonshadow" on the  
radio in public

.....your "Breakfast of Champions" consists of warm beer and cigars

.....you receive numerous honors at the Band Awards Banquet for what you  
consider to be "normal" behavior

.....a bathroom stop for you on a road trip involves simply lowering a  
bus window

.....all you need for a good time is a can of Fluffo and a game of  
Twister

.....you attempt the "six-man lift" more than once

.....you take "Gail warnings" seriously

.....you find numerous empty beer bottles in your house for months after  
the Band had partied there

You know you're a Marching Lumberjack when...


1.  you refer to anyone from the other side of Garberville as a 
Southern Californian.

2.  you've stopped spitting and now consider chaw one of the essential 
food groups.

3.  you cannot comprehend that the best time on the North Coast is 
still beaten by the worst at Chico.

4.  you keep pointing to "that big bright ball" at an away game until
someone reminds you it's the sun.

5.  you assume Summer is two weeks long all over the world.

6.  you were once enthralled by nature, but have secretly come to 
agree with Ronald Reagan "if you've seen one Redwood, you've seen them 
all".

7.  playing your instrument as you walk down the street in broad 
daylight no longer has musical implications.

8.  blowing your instrument leads to severe neck and back injuries.

9.  you're the source of over half that floating pond scum in the hot 
tub.

10. the question is not whether to lose brain cells, but by what 
method.

11. joining the Arcata Coop is the last thing you haven't done in an 
altered state.

12. breakfast at the Samoa Cookhouse is close enough to a South Seas 
adventure for you.

13. your parents encouraged band membership as an alternative to 
higher education or trade school.

14. you're only dimly aware that the Marching Lumberjacks offer 
university course work as an extracurricular activity.

15. the insipid name of your band is really no worse than your high 
school's, and, besides, "it's kinda cool".

16. you've come to seriously wonder why Princess Cruises doesn't make 
port-of-call in Humboldt Bay.
