I was comfortable as a clark.
Where did "clark" come from? (Chevy Chase, vaction movie)
Who do I talk to about being a "clarkie" for life?

You need to read up in the Funk and Wagner (http://www.orangewhoopass.com/forums/index.php?board=17.0):

Clark: 1) (also Clarkish, Clarkworthy, Dave, etc.) descriptive, sarcastic term coined by TZ legend Andyzipp in a now-famous take which serves to strongly emphasize any extraordinary, fantastic or above average feat. (ex. "Biggio stealing third in that situation was absolutely Clark.") Sarcastic reference is to the horrible 1998 performance of ex-Astros OF/PH Dave Clark.

...which might lead you to the 1998 Hall of Fame (http://www.orangewhoopass.com/forums/index.php?topic=325.msg325#msg325).

Boy, ain't THAT the truth?  I keep thinking I'm gonna pop in here one day and find a Barry Bonds-like * by my Prime Time Player designation, only to find "....but still disturbingly Clark-like,"  at the bottom of the page.

That's great!  I've been thinking that same thing for a long time.  To the powers that be, "Thanks for cutting me some slack."

I've been considering suggesting they move the goal posts, particularly the pope title.

I'll never be a pope, not even with a zillion posts.

They'll let you be a vicar for a small fee.

Does that mandate an internship in the confessional booth, or will another small fee "CLEP" one out of THAT?

I have some lovely fingers from various saints, and the skull of a former Pope (not one of the French ones)for sale if you'd like to be "promoted" to Illuminati.

Had been advised previously that supreme parochial power was derived by a mandate from the masses and not some farcical aquatic skullfingering ceremony.....or am I mixing my metaphors, again?

skullfingering ceremony

You don't really want to know.  It's been rumored that Astro Glide is involved.

Oh, that's ok. I was afraid it might involve Florence Henderson, Wesson oil, and Damp-Rid.
