- "I haven't grown up at all since I was a freshmen in high school, and neither has my penis."
- "Do I look feminine when I stand like this?"
- "We take our music very seriously."
- "Humor has become so cliché and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable."
- After asked about getting spit on in concert he told someone - "Usually I'm too drunk to really care about it. Sometimes I'll look at my shirt and see a bunch of loogies and get all grossed out, but it's all in the name of fun."
- "For me, sex with a girl is a race to orgasm, and I am undefeated."
- "Some people say that we're idiots or perverts. Don't argue, we're both!"
- "We don't want to act like adults. Anybody who can stay in a state of adolescence will be much better off later on. Look at people who are working nine-to-five jobs out of college, and look at professional skateboarders or guys in punk bands," he says. "See who's having more fun."
- "I came up with a little formula; If you write songs about girls you get girls at show. We write a lot of songs about girls."
- "This type of music has a limited time span so we have to evolve and do the best we can now."
- "Our take on punk is really just fun: it's fun to offend people and do what we want to. But it isn't that offensive. We make music for ourselves and everybody else who gets it. It's a lifestyle scene. If you don't get it, you don't have to listen."
- " I don't know why I am in this band, I am the only guy that likes girls. I am the only one that believes that guys and girls should be together and that babies should be made the penis vagina way. The old way. These guys are trying to create some weird wacky, maybe the penis in the butt will get a kid, I don't know. I don't think that works" Mark: "What?" Tom: "No, don't come here and try to act like your heterosexual!"
- "And as for signing to a bigger label .... well I'd like to make a lot of money and fuck credibility. If I did it doesn't make me any different. Just richer."
- "I've masturbated like 5 times in the last 24 hours... it hurts... it's going to fall off."
- "This is a scene and the bands that have been in it a long time deserve the breaks. Doesn't mean they've changed. We haven't. We're still writing songs about girls."
- "I study that stuff, man," he says. "UFOs ... I'll tell you that I think in the next year the US government is going to come out and admit that aliens have visited Earth. The reason I think that is that I listen to this radio show at home which deals with all this stuff."
- "Now which one of you said I suck? Which one of you called me an ugly disgusting bastard? Was it you? How old are you? How old are you? You know I once said that I would never stick anything in my butt larger than a lamp light! Anyway........you guys wanna hear a song?"
- "Hey.. How old are you? 15? OH MY GOD!!! Put those things away."
- "I'm probably the sexiest and the best in bed, even if I'm by myself in bed. I love to masturbate. I love to give myself orgasms. I love to deliver orgasms to the masses." The Urethra Chronicles
- "So we're in Wisconsin. I LOVE CHEESE!!" Mark - "You know, I really don't get the point of putting something in the fridge, let it mold, and then take it out and spread it on a cracker!!"
- Mark: "Hey Tom, tell these people about the Philippines! "
Tom: "We hear that in the Philippines, when a baby's crying, you have to suck on it's penis to make it stop crying. So I guess that makes me philippino. It works on me to, if I'm crying, you suck on my penis." Mark: "Okay! Shut the fuck up!" Tom: "Ok!" The Urethra Chronicles
- "Travis has a lot of tattoos. I hope basically means I hope I can get laid by a guy. Can I say for can I say I'm gay. And the bird, represents a man swooshing through the clouds and coming down and sleeping with him."
- "It's so obvious that I have the most masculine attributes. If femininity were a sport, the other two guys would have a gold medal. All I hear is, "When can I wear a dress? Can I paint my house pink?" That kind of stuff. By far, I'm the only one that resembles something like a Conan-type character. You can call me Conan."
- "The only reason I bought a computer was to look up UFO sites and learn how to get probed. Anally. Wait, are you laughing at me?"
- "I really enjoy, uh, getting make-up and my butt worked on. What I do normally before a show is I get my butt spackled, shaved, waxed, massaged, and buffed..."
- "Mark's penis only turns in a 90 degree angle."
- "Well, uh, that one back there says hope, I hope I can get laid by a guy. The one on the front says Can I Say I'm gay, basically, can I say I'm gay. Like, if you look on his ghettoblaster that ghettoblaster is always playing homosexual music like Morrisey, Erasure. Uh... the bird on his right arm that you see there symbols ... a man... swooshing through the sky coming down and... sleeping with him."
- "You mean the shit people claim 'You're not punk anymore!' I think they're a bunch of little hypocrites. Punk has nothing to do with the label you're on. We still get that kind of crap, but for every hypocritical punk kid, there are hundreds out there who just like the music. It's all about music and fun anyway and I can't see anything wrong with that. All the selling out talk is really overrated, the funny thing is it hardly ever comes from bands, it comes from some kid who think they're so punk because they have a purple mohawk. And it's the one that has the biggest... ehhh ... mohawk is the most punk! Ha ha!"
