At every Blink show, Mark writes a different message on his speaker 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". Mark wrote "Going away to college" on valentines day after watching Can't
Hardly Wait. Mark has his nipple pierced. Mark's hero of all time is none other than Homer J. Simpson. Mark's
father's name is Tex, his mother's name is Carrie, and his younger sister is Anne. Mark appeared on-stage nude,
at MTV's Castaway Countdown, during the band's performance of What's My Age Again? Mark hates playing any tour
dates in Europe, that sucks! Mark appeared on-stage nude, again, at KROQ's 1999 Weenie Roast. Mark
actually hates the taste of beer, no lie. At a show in Boston, he took an inflatable sheep, shoved a drum stick
up it's ass, and tossed it into the crowd. Mark thinks Disney Movies kick ass! Mark attended Burroughs
High School in Ridgecrest, California. Mark wrote Dammit in just 5 minutes, about a break-up that never actually
happened. In the chorus to the Party Song Mark is actually singing "Vagina Vagina Vagina". Mark
wore sneakers at his wedding. Mark's first band was called "Of All Things" At the very end of the

QUOTES: " Actually we're sick of it now, I used to get naked
back stage just as a joke. And i'd walk into other bands dressing rooms and be like " hey have any of you seen my towel?"
Then we did it for videos and a couple of other events, cause we thought it was funny. But now everyone expects us to
do it. So we're kinda over it now. Maybe we'll ask our audiences to get naked instead."
