Dime IV (born J. Fourth Dimension Terry, January 11, 1968) is a contributor to Uncyclopedia, a faux-knowledge aggregation website. He is also an author, professional goat herder, avant garde film maker, and musician. He is most notable as the lead guitarist and keyboardist with the prog country power trio, The Fertilized Deviled Eggs, and as a touring orchestra member with the ice-skating theater production, "Oscar Wilde's 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' On Ice!"
Early life[edit | edit source]
IV was conceived in Columbia, Tennessee, in the spring of 1967 and was born at 3:23 a.m. (EST), Thursday, January 11, 1968, at Orange Memorial Hospital, in Orlando, Florida, where he was immediately arrested for conspiracy to foment feelings of bitterness and regret within the Greater Orange County Florida Statistical Metropolitan Area.
Hitchhiking north by northwest in the summer of 1969, IV considered returning to Columbia, not unlike a salmon returning to its spawning grounds; however, he continued toward Nashville.
Childhood[edit | edit source]
It was in Nashville where IV's hardwired brain kicked in with the language, the walking, and the general revelry of being a kid. Soon, he was knocking about the groves of primary and secondary academe. Around this time, IV vacillated between becoming a musician and a fried chicken magnate; unfortunately, the insufferable cod-sniff Harland Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken and inventor of the spork, beat IV to it by some forty-plus years; consequently, IV buckled down and focused solely on his music.
Secondary and collegiate career[edit | edit source]
From 1982 to 1986, IV attended McGavock Comprehensive High School in the Nashville suburb of Donelson, where he was a quiet, unassuming student. IV, however, had his moments of notoriety, such as running amok in the halls with his pants folded neatly over his arm; engaging in spirited political, theological and philosophical debates with himself using “puppet-talking” hands; laughing maniacally and throwing smoke bombs before making his daily getaway from algebra class; and literally undressing A/V club coeds after developing a debilitating block while mentally undressing them.
After apathetic stints at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where he learned the finer points of supply-side economics by scalping his student allotment of Volunteers football tickets and at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, where he learned the finer points of skipping class, smoking cigarettes, and caring about little else, IV received a B.S. in Journalism at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.
Post-salad days[edit | edit source]
IV worked his way up the wicked corporate ladder to the "NOT A STEP" rung, where he became a senior vice president with a Nashville-based international distributor of Christian apocalyptic tracts.
