The story behind Randy Cumpacker
Randy was a good man; until the last years of his life he was a good man. He fell into drug addiction after a life of success.
He started out as a graphic designer in the mid-seventies and then was a professional BMX racer.
Talented. Oh boy was he talented. He could create art with a pencil that would amaze. He could win races at will against the worlds best on his little bike.
But that’s not we he wanted. He wanted fame. So he became a trick ferret on the twenty and got real good. He once pulled a hundred perverted decades in a row. But when the clapping stopped, he turned to vice.
Eventually he passed on. In a squalid home, made from cardboard at the back of a lot, on the outskirts of town.
Bert has lived many lives and is concurrently living many more. All of the ‘Bert Ernie’ lives out there are lived by complete and utter lunatics like Randy Cumpacker.
