D.G.I.

Dumb Grunts, Incorporated

 

                Let’s give credit where credit is due. DGI was the precursor of the Knighthood. They shaped our young minds and are ultimately responsible for the madness that followed (Lawyers please note).

                DGI was made up of the Stagecraft class at my High School. This was the fringe. Connected to the Theater Crowd, but an entirely different animal.

                It was from these guys that I picked up a few things:

                Role-playing: Playing “Star Wars” in the Art Court at lunch

                Callsigns: In case you though my Mama named me Outlaw

                Cone-bombs: Not really destructive (maybe some petty theft), but certainly makes an impression

                Writing on your clothes: A fashion statement whose time had come. And has since left…

                The Zoz Moving Company: A tale for another day…

 

                Without these trailblazers, we would not be the men we are today. Gentlemen (& Ladies) we salute you:

                Frost: As mentioned before, his was a casual evil…

                Hanover: F’tang, F’tang

                Spoogy: I can’t begin to imagine how he got the name.

                Hank: Was that really a Callsign? I was never sure

                Sputnik: Never knew her, but she was part of the equation

                Little Big Mouth: (Mind you that’s just a fraction of the name) Don’t let her near Power Tools or Fire. She knows how to use both.

                And others I can’t remember (I know someone will remind me…)
