Welcome to the Members Section of Team Spin, where we give you some important tidbits of information never seen or heard before  Take heed, some of the facts could be disturbing, not for young children or the faint of heart, take a look and remember, we warned you!

Name: Jim Home state: Iowa Member since: 1997 AKA: King James Formerly President of TEAM SPIN but changed to King because there was too much chance of him being impeached as President.   Jim made his millions inventing Preparation H.   His unique method of testing it on pigs was considered a breakthrough in the scientific community but weird in the farming community.  Nobody knows what happened to Preparation A through G or a couple of frisky pigs.  Jim holds the scepter and most of the power of TEAM SPIN.  All major decisions (like “should we stop at this bar?”) are approved by him!	Name: Donna Home state: Iowa Member since: 1998 AKA: Queen Donna The real power of the Brown family (see King Jim) and of TEAM SPIN.  She appears to be the wife of a farmer/scientific pioneer, she is not.  She is actually in hiding from the authorities as one of the Chicago Mafia’s chief enforcers.  She often uses her unique abilities to get her way with the team. (Ask some of the male team members about certain scars).   Approach with caution and beware of the kiss of death.  She doesn’t know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, she knows where he lives!
Name: Scott Home state: Iowa Member since: 1994 AKA: The Other Brown The other Brown (see history).   After years of appreciating horseflesh, Scott got life long dream of being a jockey (hey, why the long face?).  This career was shortened by the tallness of his body.  He found out that at 6’5” (or 9 ? hands) he was taller than most of his mounts.  He was able to retire early and let his almost famous wife make all the money.  He makes a lot of the decisions for TEAM SPIN.  If Jim is unable to say “let’s go in this bar” Scott will.	Name: Angie Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  As one of the premier entomologists, Angie is an” almost famous” scientist.  As the hostess of cable TV’s “Cooking With Bugs” she is known coast to coast by the 2:00 a.m cooking/insect community.  Her ability to make roaches taste like ricotta is nothing short of amazing.  Many times she has the ingredients of her “crawling casserole” just wandering up and down her arms.  If she’s o.k. with it we (vurp) are too.
Name: Chris Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Is a former member of one of the first “boy’ bands, Menudo.  He coached INSYNC how to lip sync, but claims he had nothing to do with the downfall of Milli Vanilli.  He was asked to leave the “Mickey Mouse Club” show when Justin Timberlake said “there just isn’t enough room on stage for two sexy singers”.	Name: Maxine Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA: Mad Max “Mad Max” is a known terrorist who has a sleeper cell of terrorism in Illinois.  If anyone is ever caught sleeping in one of her cells they will be subject to some of the most cruel and unique torture known to man, DETENTION.  Many of her techniques are used to get information from people in the prison system.  She also uses a technique similar to suicide bombers except she just puts her husband in the middle of a crowd and lets him sing.
Name: Jay Home state: Oklahoma Member since: 1996 AKA:  As chief proctologist for the Iowa state prison system Jay has seen his share of assholes.  He recently transferred in from the Oklahoma state prison system, where he majored in assholes and forged doctoral degrees.  So if he calls you an asshole don’t take it personally, it’s actually a professional opinion.  Jay was the co-winner (or maybe whiner) of the 2007 Darwin award.  He claims it was all Pat’s fault.	Name: Jules Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Don’t be fooled be her cute little girl with the big smile act.  As back up goalie for the Chicago Blackhawk’s she’s one tough broad.  She was also the reality coach for the movie “Slapshot”.  She taught the Hansen brothers everything they know.  She can be a nice girl but if she takes her teeth out you’re done for.
Name: Lee Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Is a potato peeler!   After many attempts at getting the perfect peel he gave up and sought professional help.  He went to Miss Kitty’s, where he found Zippy Bubble Biscuits.  She then showed him a thing or two about peeling.  Most of his potatoes go into the making of Vodka.  Lee wanted to know where all his potatoes go, so he rode with TEAM SPIN one weekend.  That answered that.	Name: Linda Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA: Zippy Bubble Biscuits Has been dancing all across the United States for the last few years.  She has been to some of the sleaziest places from Sargent Bluff to Muscatine or from Rock Rapids to Bellvue.  She finally got some stability in her life when she met Miss Kitty.  Miss Kitty has kept her dancing only in the state of Iowa , which hasn’t made the state of Iowa happy at all.  You may have seen her on stage and didn’t realize it - because her stage name is Zippy Bubble Biscuits.
Name: Pat Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  He may look like a bouncer at a New York City leather bar but he is actually a lot tougher than that.  He is a day care supervisor for kids five and under.  He’s not afraid of going to Hell, he’s been there.  He has been called upon by the office of homeland security to identify possible terrorist plots only to find out it was just a toddler who was pissed off that he didn’t get apple juice before nap time.  There is one thing he is afraid of...Lucy, the four year old who took that chunk out of his nose.  Lucy is seven now and she’s looking for him.	Name: Cyndi Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Pronounced Sin-Die!  She is the proprietor of Miss Kitty’s Dance Hall and All Night Bingo Parlour.  She has taken many a wayward women and put them on the road to dancing.  It’s her way of giving back to the community (and taking fifty per cent of their tips).   It was just a run down shack when she took over, but now with her new headliner, Zippy Bubble Biscuits, she makes almost as much money on the dance hall side as on the bingo side.
Name: Josh Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Josh’s father was one of the original “Speedo” type underwear models.  That was in the late seventies and he was quite famous.  Josh has continued in his father’s footsteps, or rather cheek prints, and has been an underwear model for a few years now.  The problem is that he still models “Speedo” type underwear.  Josh is not very famous.	Name: Michelle Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Believe it or not Michelle lives in a convent.  It’s not a real strict one; she is allowed to go on RAGBRAI every year.  Her name in the sisterhood is Wilma.  As a counselor to the other sisters she is called upon many times a day.  Since there is another sister Wilma, Michelle uses her unique last name, but for the rest of the story, you must have a Top Secret Security clearance.
Name: Daryl Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 Nickname:  After many years as Playgirl Magazine’s photo editor, Daryl got caught “flashing” at the wrong “exposure”.  He then spent some time at the state of Iowa ’s “grey bar motel” where he met TEAM SPIN, not the whole team but most of them.  He has since become Josh’s personal photographer, trying to make Josh America’s premier underwear model.   Daryl does not make a lot of money.	Name: Renee Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  As warden of the Iowa state maximum security penitentiary, Boss Renee (as she was called when I was there) is feared by inmates and guards alike.  She has been a leader in the advancement of capital punishment.  If it wasn’t for the Prison Trainers of America she would have been able to replace solitary confinement nationwide with time out.
Name: Andy Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Has been Brittany Spears personal assistant and parenting adviser for a few years now.  He has taught her everything from what to wear and what not to wear to how to cut her hair.  Before that he worked for Michael Jackson.  He was the one that told him to “Go out on the balcony and show everybody your new baby”.	Name: Jeri Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Is George W. Bush’s speech writer.  She’s the one who told him to include such phrases as “uh”, “well”, “the way I understand it” and “ ya see” into his speeches so he appears to have a better grasp of the situation.  There are a few other phrases that I can’t spell or print because of copy write infringements.
Name: Dale Home state: Illinois Member since: 1996 AKA:  On a team that is obviously musically inclined Dale excels in another direction.  He’s a rap artist.  He says he was influenced by such artists as The Beagle Boys, Esenem and Toupee.  His sessions with Thirtee Cent and Snoop Cat are almost legendary.  He’s quite famous (in Colfax , IL ) and sells most of his CDs to people who are too stoned to watch Angies “Cooking with Bugs”.	Name: Riddle Home state: Illinois Member since: 1997 AKA: Riddler Works on a chicken farm.  After a mother hen has out lived her usefulness Riddle is the one in charge of plucking her.  He also fills in when the automatic neck wringer breaks down he’ll do the job by hand.  He also sometimes has to tenderize some of the tough meat at the process plant.  He’s not real bright but he works like a mule.
Name: Bleau Home state: Kentucky Member since: 1996 AKA:  Is a pornographic horse whisperer.  He claims that sometimes you just have to get dirty with the nags to get your point across.  He was brought in to help the horse in Scott’s last race.  His horse was last seen laughing and then was seen crying but never raced again.	Name: Jason Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA:  Jason is actually Dave Chapelle.  Through the use of a great makeup artist and one of the finest vocal coaches he has been able to put on his comedy central show for the last few years.  When Dave Chapelle disappeared and supposedly went to Africa , he was actually on RAGBRAI.
Name: Truc Home state: Colorado Member since: 2006 AKA: Elvis With his slicked back hair and his southern boy charm, and drawl, Truc has been a natural as an Elvis impersonator.  His performances are known all across the United States , well at least Iowa and Colorado.  Most women almost faint at the sight of him but let him sing his rendition of “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and they quiver like jello.	Name: PJ Home state: California Member since: 2005 AKA:  With his slicked back hair and his southern boy charm, and drawl, P.J. is a natural as a Truc impersonator.  He’s known in a couple of small towns and a few airport lounges.  Most women run from him because they think he actually is Truc.
Name: Chad Home state: Iowa Member since: 2006 AKA:  Chad is the founder of Hair Club For Men.  He’s not only the President he’s a client too.  One day he found some of King Jim’s reject formula along with a couple of hairy pigs and the rest is history (but not one civilized people would want to read).   He actually sells a watered down version of what he uses since he has to shave his head twice a day just to keep up.	Name: Jim W. Home state: Iowa Member since: 1996 AKA: The Other Jim After years of tumbling around with his wife, Jim thought he would hit the road and make it big in Vegas.  The problem was he spoke English and not Russian or French or Latvian or whatever it is they speak in Circ de Solei, so he was quickly rejected.  He did get a job wearing a white tiger suit for some magician for a while.
Name: Jack Home state: Pennsylvania Member since: 2007 AKA: Patrolman Kato Jack is now retired after years of government work.  He now rides his bike around the country in the same carefree and haphazard way he ran the government.  You may have known him.  On capital hill he was known as Senator Blutarsky.
