1986
Matt Schlanger. Lumpy Banger. When I was young my parents gave a costume party. It being the sixties several of their guests conspired to come as hippies. They picketed on our driveway, walking up and down carrying signs with anti-Schlanger slogans. Our neighbors called to ask if they should phone the police. They were assured that "everything was cool." Days later my friends and I were playing in the basement and parts of discarded costumes were still littered around. We were young, maybe 10. One of the hippie signs read "Schlanger is a shlump." My buddy Frankie thought this was funny and began to call me shlumpy schlanger. I guess this didn't please me too much, but instead of dropping it, the name kindly morphed into Lumpy Banger, and later shortened to Lumpy. Now Lumpy Banger was not great either, but from my inner circle I accepted it as a nick-name which was used affectionately. Few knew me by this name, it is extremely infrequent that I hear it now. So the name Lumpy Banger had been with me for a while, it was part of me, and upon finishing this piece I could not resist using it.
Lumpy Banger displays the joy and excitement of penetration...
