Interesting Blink-182 Facts: The guy on the back of Chesire Cat is actually called Brian Prior to joining the band, Travis played in a group called "The Aquabats" At every Blink show, Mark writes a different message on his amp with white duct tape. Anything from "Hi Mom!" to "I have no idea where I am". Once he even wrote a message to his girlfriend after they had been fighting over who loved the other more. He wrote "I love you more". Have you had the volume up loud enough to hear Mark whisper "Here we go motherf*ckers" at the very beginning of The Party Song? Travis has multiple piercings and around 50 tattoos. All together they cost around $7,000. Well, that's pocket money on his wages! Tom is a trekkie. He believes in aliens and alien conspiracies etc. He also believes that he has "been abducted and probed in the anus... on purpose". In the video for 'Dammit' there is a poster for the Italian movie "Farinelli". Its the touching story of a man who had his testicles removed so he could sing soprano. In the Mark Tom and Travis Show (Enema Strikes Back) during Going Away to College, in one verse instead of saying "your so beautiful to me" Mark says "your so beautiful Skye Lee" which is his wife, Skye L. Everly. In the chorus to the Party Song they are actually singing "Vagina Vagina Vagina". If you listen very carefully, toward the end of "Degenerate" you can hear Tom fart and say 'excuse me'. American Pie messed up in the credits from 'American Pie' it says 'Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, Scott Raynor'. Its actually Travis Barker in the movie, not Scott. Listen to the right speaker of your stero at the begining of "Reckless Abandon" - you can hear mark making fun of tom singing. Note:this is not on the edited version ![blink182.jpg](https://blink182brittany.tripod.com//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/bathingsuits.jpg)
In the scene of the video 'All the Small Things' where Mark is doing his Ricky Martin imitation and getting wax poured on his chest, if you look in the background you'll see a couple making out. Its Tom and his wife, Jen. Prior to joining Blink, Tom worked at a fast food joint called "Gary's Chicken and Ribs" in Poway, CA. Mark worked for "Little Cesar's Pizza". Tom paints his fingernails (on his left hand only) black. If you look at the inside of the Enema CD (the part with the eye) and then look at the inside hinge of the cd in white letters it says "Viking Wizard Eyes, Wizard full of Lies". This is because Viking Wizard Lies was supposed to be the name of the album before Enema of the State was thought up. Some other names thought up for 'Enema' were "Turn your head and cough' and 'Blink-182: Electric Boogaloo'. Let's Get Naked! Yes... Blink was actually naked for the making of "What's my Age Again?"! Well... most of it. For some scenes they wore flesh coloured speedos. The different purple coloured songs at the end of 'Cheshire Cat' mean that they are joke songs. The stuff Mark says at the end of Depends is actually a clip from the film AirPLANE In England, blink 182 is usually pronounced "blink one EIGHT two", as opposed to the American way, "blink one EIGHTY two". But does it really matter? No. During the last day of production for Chesire Cat, Mark got locked out of the studio and had to smash open a porta-potty by a construction site with a crowbar Tom's first instrument was a trumpet ![blink182.jpg](https://blink182brittany.tripod.com//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/blinkairport.jpg)
