History
It was a Friday. Poopy Pants Jenkins, the slimmest of the slim, the skeleton in your closet (if you were of a certain age and place,) was waggling his shoulder blades and droning, "Guys, I sense a band break-up here."
If you were there, he was the biggest person in the world, only you would not know it. You would know only bones, carpet, and beads. The carpet would be around you, loyal and attentive, offering you lint and dust it had caught for your pleasure while you were working. The bones would be your sense of the man, not knowing he was big and full of meat. The beads would be the eyes, sewn firmly atop his cheeks which would jut and point patiently the way for their riders' intent. They would be coming for you, those beads, galloping across the intervening space on those faithful cheeks with their legs like jawbones firmly shaping those nasal tones, "band break-up."
The rest, is history.

Lore
- Mike Hays was in the band for a time towards the end. He played guitar. A certain tension existed between Poopy Pants Jenkins and he that made the band, somehow, sexy. They would call each other names while smiling.
- Fun Fact: The lost song, "Mean Person," was written about Mike Hays pre-his-membership-in-the-band.
