Originally appeared in APeX Attack #2 (August 1998) Bits &
Pieces
At one of the events we performed at in Arlington, VA a few
of the Washington Redskins were speaking there as well. When
it came time to pass clubs around someone from the audience during
the “Faith Commercial” Gene rushed over and grabbed
one of the reluctant Redskins to join APeX on stage. (The Redskin’s
name is being withheld because he is a very big man who scares
us a lot.) While Brad was explaining the fact that the clubs
were going to be flying around the football player’s head,
he stopped Brad, flexed and said, “I just wanted to show
you that.” Now professional football players are some of
the toughest people on the planet. Our volunteer was on defense
and many times has very large men running full speed at him.
On the field his natural reaction is to try and hit this guy
as hard as he can. This would lead you to believe that he would
not fear anything. Well, anything but 20 oz. plastic juggling
clubs. Our volunteer was so scared that he was visibly shaking.
Don’t worry, we won’t tell Coach Turner.
The story mentioned above was at an event called “The
Thing at the Tent”, and guess what, it was in a tent. It
was a good thing the event was in a tent because it rained hard
all day. When we went on stage a thunderstorm was raging. Brad
was explaining the game “Bang! Pow! Boom!” to the audience.
The way it works is when a certain ball, for example the red
ball, is caught one third of the audience is supposed to scream
one of the key words, “Bang!” “Pow!” or “Boom!”
Brad explained to the red group that every time he caught the
red ball they were to yell “Bang!” To get them to practice
Brad threw the red ball up, and right when it hit his hand there
was an enormous clap of thunder (or as we like to think, God
yelled “Bang!”).
When asked if we could quote him and if he'd like to be immortalized
in our newsletter, Ben Peredez, Age 9, Dallas, TX said, "I
think I'm too young. I'd rather grow up a little first."
"I just don't know... I just kept crackin' up 'cause
your so silly." - Joseph Paul Fasig, Age 5, Ogden, UT, when
asked what his thoughts were on just seeing an APeX presentation.
"We better hurry up and get home before this car fills
up with blood." - JPF after taking a rather nasty tumble
on the way to the car from an APeX show and scraping his knee.
After the last statement, and because his knee was scraped,
Gene recommended we amputate the leg. Brad then told him how
great it would be to get a wooden leg and be a pirate. We then
tried to teach the young boy to say, "Arr! Walk the plank
you scurvy sea-dog!" After getting on the subject of pirates,
Joseph said, "Do you know what gold's made out of?... Yellow
shiny stuff."
"Sounds like a serial killer, but he's not." - John
Duricy Logan, UT about Brad Farmer. |
