Anyone from Pacifica High '84 like Dexter?

[Golf pro]

I was a classmate of Bryans (Dexters) at PHS class of '84. I didn't even know Dexter was Bryan until last week. I was totally surprised to say the least. And I dig The Offspring. Bryan, sorry I mean Dexter, I heard you were taking golf lessons down in Huntington. I am a PGA pro in the Inland Empire at Goose Creek. Would love to see ya. Nice job on your career dude. You too Greg! Taker er easy fellas,
Jerry Crowell

[DeAtHsTaR]

Haha were Dex and Greg cool? And you do know that Noodles was Janitor Kevin Wassermann at that school too right?

[thecavedog]

I would love to see the conversation between Dex and you... hmm

[Golf pro]

Bryan (Dexter) was a nice guy, well liked by everyone. To be doing what he's doing now is just unimaginable! Very cool though. We didn't hang too much but we were school freinds. Greg and Kevin were before my time a little. I must be the only dummy from '84 who didn't know he was Dexter Holland until just last freakin' week!!!

[Dexter_H]

that's crazy.. How may were in your year?

do you realise golf pro, that greg is an avid golfer?

[Tijs]

I'm not sure if we should believe you. You're somewhere around 40 years old and you picked the username 'Golf Pro' and your style of talking kinda comes across like you're about the age of 17.
Also, we've had a lot of fake I-used-to-know-Dexter/Noodles/Greg threads.

But I kinda have the feeling you're not lying, so: Dexter hardly ever comes to these forums to have a talk with someone, so you're chances are kinda low that he'll read this. You could try sending an email to the Offspring's management: info@offspring.com. Or maybe you could try to send a letter (http://www.offspring.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Offspring.woa/wa/faq) to the Offspring:
Or try contacting Nitro Records (http://nitrorecords.com/contact.php) , Dexter is the owner of the Record Label.

Best luck with it!

You didn't know. Do you live under the cave? You haven't seen them on TV or heard from radio even once? I think you should have recognized him by this time, heh heh. I bet his voice hasn't changed that much that you would have not recognized him nor would he look totally different from the time you "knew" him.

But if you're serious with this stuff, that's great. I pretty much doubt it though.

[Tijs]

Zee, you can edit your post you know ;-)

[Zee]

Oh, I can? ;)

I hate the edit thing that comes at the end, it's much better to delete the post and write it again, heh.

Kevin was the janitor at that school from 1984 till 1994.

.

A few months ago a boy came to me and told me "You are Belen? From the high school bla bla bla bla...?" He told me exactly where I used to sit, who were my close friends, everything. And I'm still thinking who that boy is... So, it may be possible

I would hate to be a janitor. But whatever, if that was the only job out there, I would take it.

[DICKON]

what the hell is a janitor? i hear it in loads of american sit coms/ shows n on here. we dont have them in england, whats the english version? are they just caretakers?

[Tijs]

A janitor:

I think that says enough.

I don't think being a janitor would be so bad. I know some people who are, and they don't mind it. It's just another job to get some money. Of course, as a career, it'd be bad.

Custodian...

With that kind of knowledge, you must be huge with the ladies.

[Golf pro]

Ya guys I just found out that Greg was an avid golfer through a interview on the web site. I guess it may be hard to believe but yes it's true, I was in the same graduating class as Holland. Thanks for the info on how to best contact him. I will hit that. I guess I do write like a 17 year old huh? I'm 40 (be 41 on 8-19). As far as not knowing that Bryan was now Dexter I guess I feel pretty stupid. Never put 2 and 2 together. I will let you guys know if I make contact. If Dexter doesn't care. Thanks again

[Tijs]

Glad to help you. And it will be awesome if you let us know some if you'd make contact. I've never met him, but everyone who did say he's a really nice guy, so I don't think he just wouldn't care.

You really didn't know what a janitor was? It must just be England that has to be different as usual.
*contacting
That was annoying me as well :p

Even I know what a janitor is. Well, after I'd read the word here on the forums a couple of months ago I looked it up. Hooray for online dictionaries! (Booh for dictionaries from 1970)

[Emily_offspring_fan]

Look at this! (http://www.google.com.ar/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=es&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-14,GGLG:es&q=Jerry+Crowell)
I think he's not lying.

[Golf pro]

I didn't think I was gonna start getting my name Googled. Offspring is so big and they have such a large worldwide fanbase, but to me it's just Bryan Holland from High School. Trust me, he was no where NEAR the Punk/Rock star he is today (obviously) and showed no signs of going that way. We thought he just went home after school and studied all the rest of the day, that is, other than running around the track and down the street with the track team.. But I totally respect the guy for what he's done. I guess we all break out after high school and he did. No one would think I was gonna play golf professionally! I have e-mailed him and hope to hear from him when he has time. He only lives 45 minutes from me. Thanks ya'll for the help again.

[Apathy]

That doesn't actually prove anything.

I can say that my name is Carson Palmer and I play professional Football. You could google it, and guess what? Football would come up. Not because I actually am Carson Palmer, but because someone named Carson Palmer does play football.

See Where I'm going? It would have been easy just to pick any Golf Pro From California and say you're him.

Hell, there's no proof that Jerry Crowell attended Pacifica High, and even if there was, the guy hasn't proved that he's him.

He might be lying. He might not be. Only way for him to prove it is for him to post a picture of himself with a sign saying Offspring BBS, some form of identification (Library Card Maybe) and his Pacifica High School Yearbook.

...and if you wanted to get really technical, the above method wouldn't necessarily prove anything because their are other Jerry Crowells in the World. For instance, Musician Jerry Crowell from this shitty Bluegrass band - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=25781206

Honestly though, there really isn't any good reason for him to lie. Because A.) It won't mean anything to anybody except himself and possibly Dexter and B.) He won't gain anything out of it because most of the respected people on this board either won't believe him or won't care.

HA! Well, that picture was taked during the So-Cal v.s No-Cal PGA Cup Matches. Sorry to bore you with golf but you Googled it and brought out the picture. Anyhow, this is about The Offspring and I really hope to tee it up with the guys soon. What a killer band. I 've always liked them like I said and listen to them on my IPOD when I practice. Still kinda in disbelief that it's Bryan Holland. That kinda makes it better. Now quit doubting me! The women is Wisconsin are a bunch of cows (I don't really mean that).

[Punk-Freak]

Wow'wow'wow!

Did I missout on something, is Dexters real name Bryan :confused:
Why would he change name?

Golf pro - I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time trying to believe you, but all of this just doesn't make sense to me.

i support that. but i don't see a reason why he would waste his time proving that he's not lying...
or we just should search for his biography in the internet..

[Tisiacs]

wow, didn't ya know that "dexter" is just an artistic name?? his real name is bryan!! or do u think some1 would actually be called "dexter"??

[Demon_of_Debauchery]

There is someone called Dexter he's a film critic

[Punk-Freak]

wow, didn't ya know that "dexter" is just an artistic name?? his real name is bryan!!

No, I didn't know it was his artistic name.
Why didn't he pick something that sounded less like a real name?

...Is there anything else I should know about their names?
Is Gregs K.s name an artistic name to?

[DeAtHsTaR]

No, I didn't know it was his artistic name.

Haha no shit, his real name is Greg Kriesel.

News flash, Noodles isn't the guitarist's real name!

[Mr. Orange]

Dexter’s birth name is Bryan Keith Holland. He was the valedictorian at his high school, president of the math club, and is a PHD candidate in microbiology. Because the name Dexter is affiliated with nerds, he got it as a nickname. He didn't just choose it at random.

[Punk-Freak]

News flash, Noodles isn't the guitarist's real name!

What :eek:
I thought it was. I also thought he was the one who invented the noodles I had for dinner and named them after him self...

What a weird band, they are totally fake.

Wow, nerds becomes singers in punk bands.
Now there's no hope for me, to become just like Dex. :(

I knew about the microbiology, but not the math club - interesting.

[Golf pro]

I can't believe he is "Dexter" Holland. There is no way you would think he would be doing this if you knew him in high school. He used to be called Poindexter. That means a real brainiac smart dude. It was all done in fun though, no hard feelings. Like I said before Bryan was a good guy and I guess he still is. Sorry if that ruins you wanting to be like him. You definately still should try though. Especially now that you know!

actually he is not the only smart dude in punk scene....we have for example the guy from descendents..and bad religion...they have PhDs in genetics and zoology i think ..so... it is really great when you realize how biology is so associated with punk ehehehe :cool:

incase u didnt figure it out, it was OUR language first. (bloody jocks :p )!!

That doesn't actually prove anything.

I can say that my name is Carson Palmer and I play professional Football.

that wouldn't be anything to brag about. and its carLton :D

[XYlophonetreeZ]

Ha! No no no, CarSon Palmer is an American football player. Fuckin' Britfags.

[Call it an Obsession]

Fuckin' Britfags.
Scottish aren't as bad as English :p

[DICKON]
