Bento,
I warned TLA a short time back that references to Clams will bring scientologists out of the woodwork (see http://www.xenu.net). Judging by the humour deficit of the original poster i suspect my prediction may have just come to pass.

“not serious?”
When satire is indistinguishable from reality…
But have at it. Gotta get your amusement somehow on an ANZAC weekend. I must say it’s the first time I’ve been called a scientologist *snorfle*

I take the boy out into the country for a little horse riding, a bit of quad bike riding, relaxing with old friends over a brace of chilled “Clammies” and some Howling Wolves and come back to this. I’ve always been pleasantly surprised that this level is the nastiest it ever gets on TWOP.
I’ve always found my news to be the opposite of hoax. So true it attacks the stomach lining. However I did find it surprising that this;
Edith Cowan “May have been man” . A researcher has poured doubt on the claims that Cowan was WA’s first female parliamentarian. DNA from…
was believed by several people.
But was not surprised that this;
No news bad news? A dishevelled & babbling Peter Holland was ejected from the ABC building seemingly unaware he had resigned decades earlier…
Was taken as gospel – by people that know PH well.

Now, now Bento, let’s not get too abstract.
A satirical news outlet, a blog that runs fake news feed, people making references to clam baking. It’s all getting a bit Hunter S, for mine.
