Frequently Asked Questions | ||||
WHAT IS TOOTHLESS GEORGE'S REAL NAME?: George Somethin' or Other? What are you-a bill collector? HOW OLD IS GEORGE?: His birthday is June-06-75. WHERE

briefly lived in Berkeley, CA back in '95, and has lived in South Philadelphia
ever since. WHO
IS THAT GIRL ON THE BONUS TRACK OF THE "LIVE IN NYC" AND "LONE
WOLF" CDS?: We really can't say! We promissed!
I'VE
BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR AN OUT OF PRINT RECORD THAT GEORGE DID, AND CAN'T
FIND IT. DOES HE HAVE ANY HE WOULD
WANT TO SELL ME?: George only has one personal
copy of each record he's done. Some of the records he doesn't own at all! Your
best bet is to check out Ebay! WHY
DOES GEORGE SKATE WITH HIS TRUCKS SO DAMN LOOSE, AND WHY ARE HIS WHEELS SO SMALL?:
When George was 17, he went to Woodward Skate Camp for a week in the summer. As
a practical joke, one of the other campers loosened his front truck all the way,
so that while he was skating the nut fell off. He knew it was a "prank"
but refused to let anyone know it even phased him. He just kept skating with them
the way they were. He found that it was easier to carve in the pools with loose
trucks. When he got home, he cut his bushings in half so he could still ride loose,
with the nut safely on the kingpin. The reason his wheels are so small is because
his trucks are so loose that if the wheels were any bigger, he'd get "wheel
bite" all the time. The pranksters also smeared the liner of his helmet with
globs of Vaseline. That didn't bother him either. Now he puts grease in his hair
on purpose! HOW
DID GEORGE LOSE HIS TEETH?: In October
2001, George was skateboarding at F.D.R. Skatepark in Philly. He fell eleven feet
face-first! In addition to losing his two front teeth, he is also lost part of
his upper jaw bone, susstained an ACL Separation in his shoulder, dislocated his
elbow, broke eight bones in his hand, and suffered internal hemhoraging in his
head which caused him to lose peripheral vision in the left eye. (He was back
on his skateboard three weeks later!) WHAT
DOES GEORGE WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?: To get drunk! ARE THE BEDROCKERS EVER GOING TO GET BACK TOGETHER?: Bedrockers might play a show here and there, but will probably never be a full time band again. Ed (George's brother) is now married with two kids. Brian is Married with a kid on the way, and Matt Fester is engaged. That doesn'tleave too much time for rocknroll! ARE THE HALFLINGS EVER GOING TO GET BACK TOGETHER?: I know that George & Donnie have talked about doing a 10 year reunion show, but nothing is set in stone. Matt Drastic is very busy with his new band, Bullets To Broadway, and it has been agreed that it wouldn't happen without him, so who knows? HOW
MANY INSTRUMENTS CAN GEORGE ACTUALLY PLAY?:
seven (7) instruments, but not ALL at
the same time (Guitar, Bass Guitar, Upright Bass, Harmonica, Kazoo, Piano, and
drums.) I'M IN A BAND. WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO FILL IN ON (BASS, GUITAR, DRUMS, etc.) DO YOU THINK GEORGE WILL WANT TO DO IT?: Send him a CD or MP3. Let him know what skills you need from him. If he's into it, he probably will, unless he's busy. FAVORITE COLOR?: Black, dark black. So dark, that you can't even see it.
