Oh, that tickled my fancy. Hah XD
I think right now you have to try your hand at crafty spins on Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore's name. For instance J*orge, J0rge (that was a zero), J.orge, Jorgey Porgey, etc. It can be fun!! (<--- massive dorkhead)

And there is the main one- J orge. And then "U*tilize" (sorry Damian. Just giving an example of the horrid words that must be changed!) turns into Use. Also, if you type "And*y Ross" it becomes Rusty Ross

Dami en turns into Damian.

Thank you! I have been typing random words to see if they change. I believe that this has been the coolest invention since indoor plumbing.

But I have seen several terrible miss spellings of his name, and I cringe every time I see it.

I find this really amusing. I didn't know about that. I think Tim's name should also be turned into Timothy Charming the next time I type his name. Just like what J0rge does on his Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore thing.

ok I have a question

I know that Damian has a degree on art semiotics, and that Andy is an engineer (like i'm going to be ehehe) but I don't know in what area. About Tim and Dan I just don't know anything. could any of you tell me something about this?

Tim went to DePaul University and has a BFA in Playwriting. I'm still trying to find a play that Tim wrote called "The Clowns Play," if anyone wants to help ME out in that area.

yeah that's such a cool area! So 2 of them have art-related degrees. I've remembered that Andy is related to electronics or computers because in an interview Damian said that he was the best guy in the group to deal with electronics.

what about Dan?

judge5order

I think Andy was like computer engineering... Or something far from that. I don't remember, but they mentioned Andy's info in the UGO interview. Not so sure about Dan though.

oh, I thought it's called "Clowns and Cotton Candy"? anyway, I'm sorry but I can't help you...I heard about it too but I was never able to find out more details about it, sadly...

jeez I have a subject about programing this semester and I'm driving NUTS...
He should give me private lessons on how to program in C language...

Andy majored in Electrical Engineering and minored in Computer Science.

I was at that show! That whole night was teh best night of my life!

Gosh, double post. That should teach me to feverishly push the "post" button a second time when I thought it didn't go through the first.

I will continue to field the questions since no one else has.

I looked up information about Dan a long time ago and came up short. After doing some recent research, thinking I could find more info now that OK Go are better known...I have still come up short.

I don't know what it is, but no one seems to know that much about Dan. I know he's the drummer and all, but dammit, I love the guy and I think we should know more. The few times I have met him I have been too afraid to ask him for more information, for fear of coming across like a stalker.

I know he went to Columbia University, and, if the dates are right (he's 32), graduated in 1997.

If an old-schooler is out there, withholding, I order you to come forward.

P.S. - Whoever DOES know the most about Dan should also make him a Wikipedia page. Everyone has one with the exception of Danny-boy. Oh my darling, Oh my darling....Clementine.

It makes me sad that there isn't much about Dan out there. He's so sweet! Makes me feel so guilty not knowing much. I'll try to get up the nerve to ask him when I see them next.

i think i read somewhere a few years back that he went to Columbia College in Chicago (an arts school) for percussion specifically...not positive though so don't quote me.

but definitely for sure know he went to Columbia COLLEGE not the UNIVERSITY (which is the ivy league school in new york) Just want to make that fact clear

We're going on the 3rd, actually. Bought the tickets the SECOND they went on sale, and still go crappy seats, that's okay though because I love them enough to be far away and still be excited beyond believe. There is going to be another show on January 19th in Anaheim, but we're (when I say we, I mean my partner in crime - Angela87 and me) still not too sure on how to get the tickets. We're still in the process of figuring that out, but if you like when we do find out we could inform you of all the nice details.
