One morning... Shtev awoke with a huge boner. Closer inspection would reveal this boner to be an ordinary piece of fruit and veg. Most specifically... an orange pepper.
Feeling a hard sense of sexual fruitiness, Shtevla Crotch - as he was now known - decided to seek out like minded (and crotched) persons such as himself. In his clapped-out pimp mobile, he rocked up and down the country seeking sweet music.
He discovered a strange chap one morning, oop north. This fruity bastard, it was discovered, could grow a beard at will, and stranger than that, he had a pepper sprouting from his head. They fell in love.
Heading further south, to the windy city of Portsmouth they found the missing link between man and ape. He was Bengreen Peppersville, a weird yet strangely exciting being. They all took turns banging his rear, and it was then that the band was formed.
How very fruity.
