“So what the heck does Gorilla 76 mean?”
While in Kindergarten at St. Elizabeth School, Jon is asked to write a paper about the political implications of mid-1970’s South American guerilla warfare and its effect on global food supply and the great space race. Being a research extraordinaire but a spelling amateur (rest assured know longer the case), Jon builds a time machine from duct tape and sticks, all elements he finds in the backyard. Well actually the duct tape he finds in the garage next to some old paint cans and fishing lures, but that’s in close proximity to the backyard so the earlier description still works. Anyway, back to the whole spelling thing, Jon time-searches the words “Gorilla Warfare Year 1976.” What ensued was quite the unpleasant experience.
Okay, that’s a lie. We actually drew our name from the guerilla marketing that first inspired our creativity. Simply using guerilla was way too boring, plus there was something interesting about the strong nature of the savage Gorilla. The number, well, we started in the 7th month of 2006.
