Aaron started Montgomery Blair High School in the fall of 1988 as a
goofy looking, hard rock loving, horny freshman. He became involved
with the Poem of the Day while in tenth grade (around early 1990), and
during that year wrote his first poem about snot. Not being very
skillful at writing poems, Aaron was made treasurer and scribe of the
Poem of the Day in May of 1991. While recording the poems, he started
compiling this book, and wrote the first Xmos biography, Who is Rev. Xmos Anyway? for English
class. It received a B. Aaron also wrote Aliens? and a few other Poems of the
Day. He tells us he is influenced by "Weird Al" Yankovic, and by the
funny little creature that lives in the Ode to the Commode statue
(please read Aliens?). As his senior year draws to a
close, and he prepares to depart to Brandeis University in the fall, he
is an extremely handsome, thrash metal loving freshman who is even
hornier than before.

Jeff was born in 1974 in Cheverly,
Maryland. He moved to Derwood in 1980. He has attended Candlewood Elementary School, Lakewood
Elementary School, Redland Middle School, Takoma Park Intermediate
School, and, of course, Montgomery Blair High School. His
interests include hiking, camping, canoeing, scuba diving,
computer programming, playing computer games, and writing. His
writings include A Very Stupid Christmas (published
in Assorted Dementia), The Penguin, the Cat,
and the Water Buffalo (to be published in the 1991-92
Silver Quill), and Eddie Pus Tex (which
got him into college). He has been writing Poems of the Day since
his sophomore year. He credits A. A. Milne, Dr. Suess, Lewis
Caroll, and Shel Silverstien as his poetic influences, and he
thinks that e. e. cummings is "a wuss." He is going to Oberlin
College next year and is currently developing a senior slump. He
welcomes fan mail, and especially welcomes fan female.

Philip is a newcomer to the pen of Xmos, although he has served from
many years as a rhyme-supplier and postfix-producer. He has known the
Creators of Xmos for many years, and would like to say "Thanks." He
likes "Weird Al," Star Trek, PDQ Bach, and anything that turns his
fancy. He is a true embodiment of the saying "Nice guys
don't always finish last, and they
always get more friends and hugs than bad guys."

Sanjaya was born on a small island in the Indian Ocean sometime between
the beginning of time and the end of time. Some historians
believe that he was born several times, and that he can be traced
to Sanjeus Rajuspathus, the uncredited inventor of the handstand
and founder of the original "Hair Club for Men: Roman Edition."
Little is known of Mr. Rajapatirana's schooling, though the
Educational Testing Service claims that he once took the S.A.T.
for a high school student with the same name and address, but he
was never formally charged. Some believe that it was in high
school that he was enlightened to the teachings of Xmos, but
others argue that he first found Xmos while working as a
Chippendale in Madison Square Garden. They contend that one day
when only he was watching, the giant Sony TV began displaying the
compiled works of Xmos, and he saw the light. Further research
shows an anomalous giant turtle count in the adjacent SUNY-main
campus at the same time as the messages were believed to have been
shown.
Though Mr. Rajapatirana has not contributed much to the quantity
of the poems in the archives of Xmos, the quality of his entries
is okay. He is remembered for having a rather sick sense of
humor, and reveling in dismembered happy faces.
Mr. Rajapatirana is currently residing as the dictator for life of
a small island in the Indian Ocean. He enjoys working with his
and other peoples money. His hobbies include staging coups in
neighboring countries, bungee swimming, and galactic conquest.

Kevin is one of the original embodiments of the spirit of Rev. Xmos. In
possibly one of the greatest coincidences in recorded history, he also
happens to be one of the founders of Martinism, the Church of the Great
Bus Driver, Mr. "I'm just doin my job" Martin. It is rumored that the
institutions of both Xmos and Martin were conceived after a wild night
of video cassette rewinding, but that is all a bunch of sour cream yak
dip. (It is actually all part of a greater plan. He is really an
agent from the future sent to protect Arnold Schwarzenegger). He lives
in Derwood, Maryland with his family. He has a brilliant brother named
Jeff who has been unsuccessfully trying to convey instructions (through
permutations of restaurant names) for travelling via lunch box to the
5th dimension.
Kevin's favorite pastimes include reading science fiction, writing
poems and other assorted gawnk, computing, basketball, building
Physics Team floats, and avoiding death on a daily basis. He also
enjoys sleeping and eating, but is trying not to get too dependent
on these since he is a Magnet. He listens to "Weird Al" Yankovic,
Billy Joel, and other voices in his head. He oughta know by now
that the exertion of an extreme amount of effort may increase the
risk of cardiac arrest-est-est-est-est-est. But he's going pre-med
at Brown anyway.
