And thus the band was formed
But not without torment

"It all sort of came together in the shop, Lardass and Tankass as they were known then dragged this wierd guy in and said that he was now a part of the band. Well I was furious, I wanted in and here was a guy about to steal my thunder, so the dirty games started."Mr. Granger, one time manager of the All onion store, now resident of death row.....

"Damn you. I may not know much, but I can play the gitarr better than any monkey you know. I'm Watching You, Tankass..."A famous Lardass quote, taken from a slanging match, in public view while at the height of the Dirty Games Scandal


They had the core of a band. To them it was enough, for they were still working to the idea that they were going to write the symphonic variations of pickled onions in Motor Scooter. Two factors changed this...

The first was a simple dissagreement with Notforustwo who could see no merit in a motor scooter song about preserved vegetables. The idea here was sort of disguarded in that he agreed to join the band provided he be allowed to write the lyrics. Lardass was not happy, because to him this was still his band and this newcomer was about to destroy the whole basis behind it. Lardass however could see no way around it, and he nudged the agreement so that Notforustwo could write some lyrics while he wrote the others. Provided he drop the pickled onion slant, or at least write it so that it was ambiguous. Said Lardass of the deal recently

"Yeah in the early days I was a bit odd and The singer then saw this and tried to make me see my ways. I was a bit blind but got the deal provided I was subtle. I didn`t even know what these words meant...."

The second was a lot more sinister. Mr Granger, the owner of the supermarket where Lardass and Tankass worked was as aforementioned, in league with the devil, in fact the team was doing quite well. Anyway, knowing the prince of Darkness had it`s own little plusses and minusses, one major downfall was that few people could stand the smell of sulphur, which Mr Granger Reeked of. Still the big plus was that you could essentially do what you want.
Mr Granger wanted in with the band, after all he had introduced them to the new singer, yet he had foolishly ruled out the position he himself was hoping to attain. This angered him so he thought up a way of ruining the band. It would have worked too....

Mr Granger offered to be the manager of the band, showing little sign of the resentment he had for Notforustwo and that which was even now growing towards Tankass and Lardass. They accepted him after a long and exceptionally unconvincing, but twisty speach. Unable to follow it but not wanting to show this the three members accepted his offer. Within a week the relationships were already showing strain.
The main problem was with the instrument situation, their minds were still set on the motor scooter thing (except Notforustwo) and were constantly arguing over who was to play lead scooter. Notforustwo saved the situation, with possibly the only real bit of help from Mt Granger, help which he will come to regret in about two days(19/02/1999) when he is stoned and then electricuted while horses slowly pull him to bits.
They suggested different instruments. Notforusetwo found an old record which he suggested they listen to and learn from. Mr Granger dug out an old record player and Tankass and Lardass were forced to endure music as it once used to be. Guitars were now a part of Lardass and Tankass`s life.
In a way it still didn`t help much, because they both got guitars and started to teach themselves. The arguments were then about who would play lead. Still this is too far.

Shortly after Mr Granger was accepted as the manager he had a word with Satan who was working out on the local football field. Now satan was fairly reasonable and didn`t really want to do anything, after all the two people weren`t bad, just dumb. Mr Granger wanted his revenge though and he promised a small boy`s soul if satan would do the deed, satan took the soul reluctantly and started the business.

And then the games started


Makes you wonder why you're here really, does it not?
