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:

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.

You're only a Clark for 25 posts or so.

until your 100th post.

Then Roster Filler until your 250th post.
Then Veteran Role Player until your 500th post.
Then Prime Time Player until your 1,000th post.
Then Should Have Quit 500 Posts Ago until your 2,500th post (I think)
Then Key Member of the Conspiracy

And after that, you get the Silver Arrows and you can rescue Princess Zelda from Ganondorf.

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.

They even sell indulgences to allow you to PWS (Post while sober)

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?
