Hey, gang,
I believe that I posted this thread about a million years ago on the Dark Shadows Forums (actually, perhaps ten years ago), and since DS fans are currently discussing the Adam storyline, I thought that it might be fun to reprise it:
Throughout the 20th century and beyond, Americans have enjoyed outstanding, and I venture to say, legendary comedy teams, such as Laurel & Hardy, Hope & Crosby, Abbott & Costello, and Nichols & May to name but a few.
Today, a bright new duo enters this pantheon of comedy team greats. Of course, I am referring to Collinsport's two favorite sons, those new Kings of Comedy:
Lang & Clark!!! [ghost_smiley] [ghost_wacko]
Yes, Eric Lang, master of the malaprop, the non sequitur, and proud possessor of that winsomely crooked smile, a great straight man in the tradition of the-one-and-only Mr. Bud Abbott! [ghost_wink] [ghost_cheesy]
And the younger half of this sensational new team, the irrepressible Jeff Clark, whose skillfull use of the pratfall and the phony limb; and whose unparalleled utilization of humorous histrionics make him a comedic talent to reckoned with for years to come. [ghost_cool] [ghost_rolleyes]
So, be forewarned dear viewer, for you will soon be exposed (or possibly even subjected) to almost unrelenting, side-splitting zaniness. Understandably, the residents of Collinsport are extremely proud of their two local boys who have made good. Think of them as Collinsport's answer to Cheech & Chong! [ghost_blink] [ghost_wub]
I therefore submit for your consideration, and obvious enjoyment, Dr. Eric Lang and Mr. Jeff Clark, these masters of mirth and mayhem. Let the laughter begin!!! [ghost_grin] [ghost_cheesy] [ghost_tongue2]

Lang and Clark! I'm seeing shades of the Skipper and Gilligan.
Come sit right back you you'll hear a tale, At tale of a spooky house,
With a crazed doctor doing an experiment, With help of an annoying mouse...

A Lang & Clark and the Skipper & Gilligan parallel, that IS truly inspired!!! [ghost_cheesy] [ghost_grin]
No doubt, Dark Shadows' late, great limerick practitioner, Mr. Dennis Patrick, would have wholeheartedly approved of your witty parody of the theme song of the crew of the Minnow! [ghost_smiley] [ghost_cheesy] [ghost_grin]
However, on a "serious" note, aren't you insulting the Skipper and his "little buddy" by comparing them with the likes of Dark Shadows' own "Dr. Vinnie Boombotz" and the good doctor's "laconic" lab assistant, "Ed Grimley"? [ghost_huh] [ghost_undecided] [ghost_rolleyes]
