Born of a pair of simple fishermen in Alaska in 1972, Suzie Potsniff became the youngest person (not to mention woman) ever to run for Vice President of the United States of America when she ran on the Cubby Ticket in the year 2000. Her early beginnings offer no hint of her future greatness-- many hours of her formative years were spent scaling fish, a task that was to cause the repetitive stress syndrome she still deals with today. As a result of her experience with long hours of labor, Potsniff became an adamant supporter of alternative ways of living and, in, 1992, she founded The Society for the Broad-Based Acceptance of Leisure Time as a Valid Manner of Passing One's Hours on this Planet, or TSBBALTVMPOHP (or T' Baltpohp forshort).

Upon moving to San Francisco in 1996, Suzie confronted the difficulty of trying to practice what she preached. Unable to live off off her meager savings, she was forced to acquire a series of temporary jobs, where she was continually ostracized by her full-time permanent peers for not being able to say "omigod" with the appropriate speed and inflection. Her job dissatisfaction combined with grief over the death of her family, who were drowned in an oil slick that same year. With nothing to loose but her unhappiness, she took to doing forty bong hits in forty seconds every night of the week (and sometimes in the morning, but never at dusk) while watching Nathan's Creek and eating O'lean chips. The gastric consequences of her actions were not enough to propel her further than the toilet (and sometimes not even that far) and thus she began to sink rapidly into an increasing smelly swamp of sloth and disillusion. Little did she know, help, in the form of the universal vibration of music, was on its way. As she is often heard to say "Sometimes when a person can't find the Cubby, the Cubby finds the person".

The Cubby Creatures, distressed to discover her condition, called in MC Andy Peters to raise her from the depths of her depression with a telethon in her honor. Their compassionate gesture and the hunky stylings of that compassionate crooner Peters finally reached into the depths of her haze and sparked her on a spiritual journey that was to lead her to the Cubby Ticket. Shaken out of her death-like stupor, she embraced life once again and began to visit organic farms. Over a row of turnips she met Ronald Bonemaker, the man who had already been chosen by both Mary and Rhoda to lead the Cubby Party. Since the violent death of that visionary leader, Suzie has held up well and continues to sell her famous political speech "Those Motherfuckers" at a reasonable profit. Thus, her life has come full circle and she is at last able to fully embrace the practice of Leisure for Leisure's sake..
