Lazlo BooBrick

Now children, gather around and I will tell you the story of one cool dude.  Born in the distant future, he fell to earth in the year 1975. 

It was a rather warm and humid evening, and all the Spuds were out on the local Pitch and Putt course waiting to tee off.  The links were heavy with local gentry, and the old geezer who was in charge wanted to move things along.  He looks and sees that the first group is on the green, and tells the above Spud to go ahead and tee off.  He whacks the little pill, and would you guess it, for the first time in weeks he hits a perfect drive. It soars high up and straight as an arrow, and smack into the hand of the lady golfer standing on the green.  Well needless to say she has had enough.  It had taken her 5 shots to reach the green and she was just a little out of sorts.  She and her entire family storm off the course, vowing to never return. 

The Spuds play on.  When the exciting match is over, and they return to the geezer shack, Pops ask, " Which one of you fellows hit the lady in the hand."  Up steps our hero and says, "I did.  See my name is right here on the sign in sheet."  He points to the middle of the page where it says,  Lazlo BooBrick, 708 Saturn Circle, New Jupiter.   Gramps looks at it, circles it with a pen, and says, "We might have to get in touch with you if there is any problem."  No problem, says Lazlo.  From that point on the Spuds realized that a new dimension had been added to the band.

Lazlo was the anchor for the early Spuds.  He was also the Spuds chief auto mechanic. That is as long as you owned a VW, and if you were a girl that would not put out.   Not that he wouldn't have minded them putting out a little.  But his greatest auto achievement, was the purchase of the 1965 Deuce & 1/4.  Later to explode at Dick Smoothie's house.  But that's  another story.

The writing team of Lazlo and TBO produced all the early Spud songs.  Many of them too filthy to play out live.  Later BooBrick would collaborate with Stinky.   Mostly late night at the bar.

When Stinky and the Spuds crashed and burned Lazlo disappeared in the wreckage.  There have been possible BooBrick sightings since then, but they have all turned out to be Elvis instead. 

Without Lazlo BooBrick, the Spuds would never have had a thing to say.  Without Lazlo Boobrick the Stinky and the Spuds would have not had been as much fun.  Without Lazlo BooBrick, Spudland has been a lonelier place.
