The Showman's

From front to back, Sam, Ben, and Moe.

We live near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on a farm called Homer's Happy Hog Farm.
We do have parents, so it's not like we are running completely wild or anything (except for Moe), but they are only minor players. Moe and Larry are homeschooled, and Sam is attending Iowa State.

Sam

       I like basketball, working on the farm, running track, and building stuff.  I rule my brothers with an iron fist despite the constant mutiny.  With the aid of Ben (and sometimes Moe, if I threaten him) I have built two tree houses, an under ground fort (kind of), eight R/C airplanes, countless implements for the lawn mower, and hundreds of other little projects I can't remember.  I am currently attending Iowa State University to study aerospace engineering.  I want to build a real airplane someday regardless of what my mom says.

Sam also has his private pilot's licence, and has accumulated about 80-hours of flight-time.  Sam is 20 years old.

Ben

         Ben (also known as Larry) likes to drive cars, airplanes, tractors, anything that has wheels or wings.  He has made it clear that his main goal in life is to own a BD-5J.  I keep trying to talk him out of it but he will not listen.  Ben is fearless when it comes to flying R/C airplanes.  He isn't afraid of reducing his airplanes or anyone else's for that matter into rubble.  I would hate to see what would happen if Larry got his grubby little hands on a BD-5.  Ben has a private pilot's license, with an accumulated flight-time of around 40-hours.  Ben also mows the lawn and is the webmaster for this site.  Larry is 17 years old.

Moe

      Moe is the opposite of Ben and me; he likes turtles, slimy things, and offering advise on subjects he knows nothing about.  This is why he is the best candidate for riding in the weed wacker plane. Moe is about 8 or maybe 15 years old (+/- 7 years).
