Sometimes it's hard to notice all the little quirks your friends have. When Greg Wood joined Punchline in 2006, he entered our humble community with a fresh perspective. A circle of friends that consisted of basically guys from Belle Vernon, who have been hanging out together since the early nineties. At the time, Belan was slanging' our dise (merchandise) and keeping wonderful company with us on the road. He told stories, sang songs, and helped us out a lot even before he was in the band. That's what friends are for. After a tour or two, Greg picked up on a particularly hilarious characteristic of our beloved Belan- he is a hater. Every so often he would casually (or not so casually) mention the things he hated. Greg started keeping track in his sidekick. PJ and I followed suit and continued the list even after Greg was gone. Belan busted us about a year after we'd started keeping track. Here's the list!

that's so funny. i just mentioned "budgie" to a coworker and she replied "i don't know what that is". funny, no?!
when you say he hates say anything, are you referring to the band or the movie?
I'm so glad this list finally saw print. I can only imagine what was left off..
haha. my friends would kill me if i made an actual list like this.
He also hates when people dont come to shows because its raining.
Great list! I'm inspired to get someone to do one for me. :)
i'm not entirely sure if it's appropriate to state that belan would probably both hate and love me.
does belan hate when people don't call him belan?
He sounds a little like me. There are a lot of things that in the spur of the moment make me go "I hate da-da-da-da-da-da..." If someone were to compile a list of the things I said that about, it'd probably be a good rival for this one lol.
the list is censored. i'm hoping to sell the rights to hbo.
belan hates murder suicides
that was the most interesting thing I've read all day =]
Belan hates bowling shoes...so does everybody else
nice. but who could hate budgying?

Belan, I back you on the movie cheering. There are no REAL people to clap for!! For whom to clap? I hate bad grammar too.
But you should reconsider the "thought of living in Chicago". We'd welcome you with wide open arms sweetie and with this list you'd fit right in!
didn't greg wood join in 2005?
That's a wicked list <3.
He also hates when anyone eats with their mouth open (especially in a movie theater, I'll tell you the story another time), and mother nature.
