Chap 6: Lumpy Tapioca
Lumpy Tapioca --the most recent of a long line of berated Sheik gutbucketeers--- was born a poor pudding to a family of Belgian waffle makers. As a young jazz washtubber, Lumpy was involved in a fire at his uncle Django's plastic guitar factory where he sustained disfiguring scars and the loss of three toes (hence his poor posture-- which contributes to his lumpiness).
Lumpy spent much of his early years between Liverpool and Jamaica fronting the skiffle band The Snack Pack which recorded the under-heard yet over-played miss entitled "Makin' Pudding a Party!" After several assassination attempts by rival skifflers (known by jazz historians as "the Great Caribbean Debacle"), Lumpy turned from music to love with his much-written-about tryst with jazz chanteuse JEL'LO. Unfortunately the relationship was too vanilla for her liking or his licking, and she dumped the Lumpy One. Rumor has it that she was both afflicted and affected by Uncle Ben's rice pudding-- although no marriage licence has been bought.
Whilst tending a JUST DESSERTS ANONYMOUS meeting, Lumpy met the Sheiks and the rest is histrionics..
