Clark II, mini-Clark, Clark-redux, Return of Clark.

I wish.

Maybe neo-Clark?

Not the Anti-Clark. That would be: (insert image of Paul Manata - I can't find it.)

Just so you Clark guys don't feel left out, I have this uploaded to the smilies directory but haven't associated a text alias to it:

The link to it is: "http://www.puritanboard.com/forum/images/smilies/clark.gif"

Wait a manata minute. Wasn't it Van Till and Clark that mapped out the country? No wait, my mistake that was C. S. Lewis, not Van Till. It was Lewis and Clark, now I remember. It was Colombo who discovered it, right? He could figure anything out on the least of clues. Anyways, it just ain't right not to have their images in our icon section.

Hold it. That sounds like we've returned to the old Roman Catholic Church. Maybe even the Eastern Orthodox. We threw out the icons long ago, didn't we?

Do these things transubstantiate our identities? Or do they consbustantiate our identities?

I mean, if Clark goes, then they all have to go. Organs too. May as well, my touchpad just now started to go haywire. I think somebody spilled coffee on it. If keyboards have to go, then so do touchpads. And we might as well throw out those IBM compatible mousepads too, if anyone still has them.

I'd better stop before these things add up to ninety-five, and get nailed up on some church doors.
