  • The three hits that count into the final movement of "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine".
  • When the "Cowboy Dan" refrain comes back much angrier and more frantically than before, leading into "CAN'T DO IT, NOT EVEN IF SOBER! CAN'T GET THAT ENGINE TURNED OVER!"
  • The defiant refrain of "Education," recited in a Tom Waits-esque growl: "I don't do what you do!"
  • The amazing, near-unpredictable drum entrance on "Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice on Ice, Alright".
  • Many fans were not prepared for the sheer head-banging awesomeness of "Lampshades On Fire" when it was released
  • When inclement weather forced the venue for an outdoor concert in Columbia, Missouri to move the events into the smaller music venue nearby, the band and promoter agreed to do two shows that night. Fans who bought tickets to the original concert could redeem them for one of the shows.
    • Further more, the setlists for these shows were not carbon copies of each other. Other than a few anchor songs, they were different.
