1.Really great ska band holding potential legends. Matt Freeman on the bass, him and
Tim Armstrong moved onto Rancid. When Rancid took a break Tim started the Transplants with Skinhead Rob and
Travis Barker (finally left that one gay band). Matt Freeman is temporarily touring with
Social Distortion in which the singer of Rancid shows up at most the shows.
2.Nuclear bomb testing
Example:
"Hey man, i see some wigger, turn up
Bad Town by
Operation Ivy!"
"Dude, Operation Ivy completely owns Rancid!"
"My grandpa was there during Operation Ivy, he got to see bombs
go BOOM!"

best fuckin punk/
ska band ever. broke up after
2 years but played
180= shows, usually at parties or small clubs.
Example:
jesse wrote the best and most meaningful lyrics of any band-ever.
tensions in our lives that are destroying our lives, unite themselves together to make our conciousness blind,
conditioned to self
intrest with emotion locked away, if thats what they call normal then id rather be INSANE. -here we go again

Best damned punk band known to man. Started in '87 ended in
'89. You may have heard of Tim, yea he's in
Rancid. Too bad for the singer, he's now in
Common Rider.
Example:
That song 'Journey to the
end of East Bay' by
Rancid is about Operation Ivy.

A police bust involving few drugs of small aggregate value, which is nonetheless
newsworthy, because the
suspects are students at a
prestigious college.
Example:
"Operation Ivy Leauge netted seven people including upwards of $11,000 in drugs (
street value)." The students. who were near graduation with useful degrees
fighting cancer, etc. are expected to be expelled summarily expelled and barred from advancing their careers in science, so that the NYPD can
shine it's end of year numbers.
