I Heart Roger Clark

This is war. Apparently, the "other" Roger Clark blog is getting some press and IHRC - due to its creator's lack of tech savvy and failure to get this puppy onto Google, etc. - is not. So, if you're reading this (and Mom, you know who you are) pass it along to all your friends and tell them just how rip-roaringly hilarious, informative, colorful, did I mention hilarious? IHRC is. And if you need a slogan (because who doesn't need a slogan?), here's one: "I Heart Roger Clark: We're Just Better."

Now, on to the Roger Reports. Yesterday saw Clark in Harlem chatting with the locals about the recent election and the changing of the guard. There was a whole lot of rain and everyone looked kind of depressed, but happy at the same time. Kind of like when you finish off a bottle of liquor on your own. Roger, ever the optimist, brought his blue sky with him under his MoMa umbrella which actually has a blue sky sown into the interior. (Note: IHRC notices these kinds of details).

And then there was today's Report brought to you by Roger's hand. I say this because that's really the only part of Roger we saw throughout the entire segment. Lucky for him he was wearing his wedding ring this time. Clark was on the scene at a City Harvest fundraising event which involves making structures out of canned food. A very cool event for an extremely awesome cause. But it wouldn't be a Roger Report without a Roger v. Pat K. moment. This one featured Pat asking Roger about what he was going to do with his cans. Roger went quiet for a second. Maybe he thought Pat was asking him what he was going to do with his "can." Now, it isn't every day that one gets asked such a personal and probing question so Roger's visible confusion is kind of understandable. I guess. But Roger saved the day with a little trip down memory lane when he waxed sentimental for Pat about his days in college when he'd stack cans outside of dorm rooms. I'm assuming the idea here was to get the folks on the other side of the doors to a) believe they were trapped on a grocery store shelf with no way out b) get hit with falling cans when he/she emerged suddenly from the door c) remember they were rooming next to Roger Clark. All of the above had the same result, apparently, which was to get Roger punched in the face. At one point, he even had to miss the Penn State game because of his antics. Naughty Roger! Pat, as usual seemed less than impressed, Roger shut his can (Note: IHRC makes great puns) and....Curtain.
