January-July 1999Since Tedd's too busy scooping poop and writing three-chord songs and such, Brain and Tim write some good songs, form a separate band (Crap Salad and the Croutons), Dispise punk moreso, see the need for a new drummer and another guitarist, kick Tedd out, learn better songs, delve into musical theory, stop playing horrible punk (that's redundant) songs, scrapped some of the crappy ideas that were thought up when there were "more people", cut off ties with that guy... uhh... what was his name?... search for new band members, found replacment drummer, discovered the Em7sus4 chord (EADGBE), and got much cooler.

September 1999Brian and Tim learn Corrosion of Conformity songs. "We rock even more than before," Tim said recently, "Hey, that rhymes... you whore!"
