- Tim Lyons wishes he was Ben Folds.
- Alan Andrus is still just a deacon.
- Daenen showers in swim trunks.
- Jeff Hill carries an umbrella in the sun.
- Matt Coombs uses the "N" word.
- Kieth goes "commando" regularly.
- Dagen thinks he can kill a yak from 200 yards away with mind bullets.
- Kaela believes she was a kaola bear in the pre-existence.
