Well, he's a friend of mine I've known since elementary school. He's an architect student at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, Florida, where we're from. And we played this show in town, it was a battle of the bands and we won, and we got to play at the great opening of this record store, and this guy wrote in his work office at the Architect School, "Less Than Jake are sellouts". And as for the name Johnny Quest, that was his moniker, his nickname, he never heard us before or anything. He just wrote it just because. So we just shrugged our shoulders and decided to write a silly song about it." -Chris *"Big" originally appeared on Better Class Of Losers CS and Making Fun of Things You Don't Understand 10" *"Shotgun" originally appeared on Better Class Of Losers CS and Making Fun Of Things You Don't Understand 10" (rerecorded) *"Black Coffee" originally appeared on Unglued 7".
