My apologies to all of my co-workers who heard Scott and I yelling at each other at office today. We were arguing over who was more popular in high school, me or him. It is a very important subject to the two of us and really I just needed some closure on it. Tonight, I pulled my 1984 yearbook and what did I find? I was on TWO pages in the yearbook, while Scott was only on ONE. Two pages is obviously double the popularity of one page. Its a little unfair to Scott though, as I was still riding a TIDAL WAVE of popularity from having won the 1983 Madison Senior High School intramural chess championship. To those of you who stand around by the water cooler asking hey do you know if Clark was a nerd in high school? Let me put that little question to rest. Look at the picture - Yeah its glaringly obvious I WASNT a nerd in high school AND from the tux Im wearing, it should pretty obvious that I was Kevin Bacons body double in Footloose. Due to my extreme popularity in high school a lot of people fought over who would get to sign the precious space in my yearbook. Some of the entries: Heidi: Hey dude!! I am so glad I finally got to know you. Its too bad you couldnt get a hold of Rick Springfield for me. (Its a little known fact that I was so damned popular that Rick Springfield used to come to Rexburg to drag Main with me and I probably told Heidi that I could set her up with him.) Todd: Clark, youve been a cool dude. Sorry we jammed your locker for you so often. (Popular people always get their lockers jammed for them.) Cheerleader: Clark, have a great life. (I know she wanted to pour out her heart to me, but there wasnt enough space on the page, so she condensed it down a bit.) Jeff: Clark, its been real and its been fun, but it hasnt been real fun. (Seriously, somebody call Brian Regan and give him that line.) Rachelle: Clark youre a real sweet guy. Chase as many girls as you can! (This translates directly to: Clark - see those girls over there - go chase them. Stay the hell away from me.) Nanette: Clark, wow! I cant believe youre graduating so soon! (I was only a few months from 19 when I graduated. What she meant was I cant believe youre graduating - at all.) Eric: Dearest Clark, you have certainly inspired me to be a rational thinking, hard working, journalism rebel. (Popular people always inspire others to be their best. AND they are ALWAYS on the staff of the school newspaper.) Corey: ...I think P-K4 sucks because it lacks the overall defensive depth of P-Q4. (I couldnt possibly have been a nerd, since nerds dont understand chess language.) Dylan: Clark! Ill have to teach you how to pick up girls this summer. Heaven knows you could use the knowledge! (He was totally kidding about that.)
