Out of curiosity...
...from whence originates the "Clam-boy" moniker for Tom Cruise that I've seen around here?

1. I can only guess that it has something to do with
his love and devotion to Scientology. There was a thread in the Lounge earlier today and someone referenced a Scientology debunking website that had clambake in its name.

2. L. Ron Hubbard claimed
that humans evolved from clams.

3. Oh, and don't forget the aliens in the volcanoes!
That's my favorite part.

No, actually, my favorite part is that people pay thousands of dollars to find out about the aliens in the volcanoes.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

4. Heh -- yeah, the volcano aliens
You've got to hand it to old L. Ron. His little bar bet cult certainly made him a lot of dough, but I've got to think it also drove him barking mad in the last decade or two of his life.

5. "Drove him barking mad?" Well, YOU just try selling people
the idea of aliens in volcanoes, and keeping a straight face while you're doing it, and see how long it is before you go nuts.

I wouldn't last a week.
