Boom climbed to the mountain top and looked down at his tired, lost people. He shouted down to them,
"I had a vision. I will be in the keyboard player in the biggest rock group ever. I will give you great music."
And so it was. And the people were happy.
In his early days young Gaspar was planning to be in the Major Leagues. While practicing one day he hit a ball clear out of the park. So hard the ball reached the speed of sound. He heard a loud BOOM crack across the sky. He heard that and thought, that would be a cool name. From that point on he knew he would be a rock star.
Did I tell you about the time Boom and I went drinking? We pulled into an empty lot. Eventually, people came and had a bar constructed around us. We were served the finest brandy by some of the hottest bartenders in the world. They made those in London and Vegas look like threes.
Eventually, we go to leave.
On our way out, Boom lights a match and burns the place down. I ask why. Over the roar of the flames, he says: "always leave stuff the way you found it!"

Boom Gaspar punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming down the road.
Eventually, we go to leave.
