James

James is one of the original cast members. He has stayed true to his slackness and helped us with all of our videos. --"Slack-Ass Raymond Rodriguez"

I was also a member of the Lunch Bunch, which pre-dates geetism by 4 or 5 years, and, along with the illustrious Raymond Rodriguez 50% of the "Slack Crew."

It all started on the first day of 7th grade. Having barely survived one grueling year at the second most Geetish elementary school in the nation (right behind Flat Shoals, which is single-handedly responsible for turning Mittens into the Geet-destroying machine that he is today), Chesnut (they even spelled their own fucking name wrong! Barons!), I showed up with a big, fat, naive smile on my face, excited about beggining a school where I hoped Geetism would be subdued (on a side note: I feel compelled to mention that while I was aided in my survival of Chesnut by one Jim Westingword, whom I have known almost since birth, I could count on no such support from one Anthalaxes Jones. It appears that in a fit of rage, the baronous Anthalaxes threw a pumpkin through someone's window and was taken to juvenile for much of the year. Not much else is known because Greg wouldn't open that fat mouth of his to tell me anymore). One look at the contents of my homeroom vanquished that hope. I recognized a few faces. Becky Katzman, Daniel Kim, and some clearly-agitated kid who demanded to be called "Optimus." So I choose to sit by the least geetish of the three: Optimus. Thus we began our fledgling pursuit to banquish all Geets. Together with Raymond Rodriguez and Jim Westingword, Optimus "Mittens" Jones and I would devise plots to end then world of Geetism (starting with that Michael Jackson kid who was barely saved from my horrible wrath by the aforementioned, more soft-hearted Geet-Bashers. Pussies.). Together, we four survived such Geetish onslaughts as Sr. Abadia, Ms. James, Simba, Ms. Biggerstaff (a.k.a. "Mellisa Derrick Senior"), Alien, and "Olympic Day" to become the collegiate (except for Anthony, who despite countless drug-rehabilitation programs and donations of free styrofoam coolers STILL remains homeless ((he does however have a VERY comfortable couch on top of his car))) Geet fighters we are today.

And then came high school and with it, a whole new group on which to base our misanthropic tendencies. You see, a good majority of the Geets were strained out by the filter of Peachtree Junior High School. The either got jailed (like Anthony), shot, or failed enough classes to get a special permanent Igit Hat (the one modeled by Greg in the first Physics video is only a temporary model). Therefore, not enough Geets made it to Dunwoody for us to focus on them alone. Besides, it had gotten too easy. So we came up with the concept of "Barons." Geets and Barons are very closely related, yet the subtle differences are obvious to those of us with a trained eye. For example, Anthony's boy who was kayaking down the side of a frozen mountain in a magazine picture we found is much more baronous than geetish. And Fester from Faulk's lab is a definite Geet, while Faulk is much more of a Baron. With the advent of Baronism came a whole new crop of incidences such as the guy who stuck the alluminum gum wrapper into the power outlet (who was a huge Geet, but at that moment happened to be displaying unparalleled quantities of baronism) and Greg's employment at the Owenadome, which won him several "Employee of the Month" awards.
