KLANK's KORNER


Welcome to Klank's Korner, a column that deserves to be a regular feature but will probably only appear in this issue. That is unless if we acquire more information about Klank. So if you have any stories about Klank, poetry you've written about Klank, pictures of Klank, thoughts on how Klank makes you feel, etc., then let us know and maybe we can have future editions of Klank's Korner.

Jeff's Korner

In this section I decided to see how Klank-like Jeff from Port Angeles, Washington rock gods Ninety Pound Wuss was. I think that the affection he shares with Klank for the colour black could lead to several theories that the two are in fact the same person. Perhaps this has something to do with Brandon Ebel, owner of Tooth & Nail Records which is the home of both bands, wanting to save money and therefore just hiring one artist to record all of the albums released on the label. Of course this artist, besides being a talented musician, is also a master of disguise and therefore able to easily take on the appearance of a multitude of fictional characters, each one somehow linked to the style of music that is on the album in question. Keep in mind of course that this is just a theory, a very probable theory when one examines the facts, but none the less just a theory. Has any one ever seen Jeff and Klank in the same place at the same time?

Reflections on Klank

In our attempts to further enhance our understanding of Klank we posed a question about Klank to attendees of the 1997 Tom Festival. Those kind people who did not look at us funny and then run away provided some very interesting viewpoints into the man known as Klank.

What would you consider more cuddly, a bunny rabbit or Klank? And why?

"My most recent experience with a bunny involved it pooping on my shoe and I don't think Klank has ever done that to me, so I'd consider Klank more cuddly."
Aaron "Woody" Woods
Age: 24
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: A lemon candy thing from the store that had a piece of plastic in it that shouldn't have been there.

"A bunny rabbit because when I was a little kid I had a bunny rabbit and I had a stuffed bunny rabbit too."
Jason Bond
Age: 24
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: Pasta Salad

"A bunny rabbit because it is warm, soft and fluffy and you can pet it. Although Klank is warm, soft and fluffy and although it might be pleasant stroking his hair or something I'd feel a little uncomfortable."
Jon Brotherton
Age: 32
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: I don't think I've eaten anything today.

"What does Klank feel like? Is Klank as cuddly as the sound of Klank? Probably Klank because bunny rabbits have those back legs they kick you with and scratch with. And I also couldn't hug a rabbit with out thinking of my dead rabbit."
Dan Rowe
Age: 19
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: I ate the vomit out of the sink at the Texaco across the road, it tasted like chicken!

"I'd rather cuddle with a moose. But if I had to pick between a bunny and Klank it would probably be Klank."
Danielle Cornell
Age: 21
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: Live ants or the chicken strips across the way because they were really greasy.

"I'd rather cuddle with a bunny rabbit."
Kelly Harrington
Age: 19
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: I took a bite out of a fish I found in the river.

"A bunny rabbit because a bunny rabbit has a cuter sounding name."
Kat
Age: 16
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: An Oreo that had been burned with lighter fluid.

"Probably a bunny because they're soft and fuzzy and not scary."
Naomi Sider
Age: 24
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: Grass that fell in my coffee.

"In realistic terms I consider a bunny rabbit much cuddlier. I had a pink bunny rabbit when I was a kid and it was cute and it was cuddly."
Angie Lof
Age: 35 (and I come from Nova Scotia)
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: Crack, but I don't eat my crack, I smoke it. Chef-Boy-R-D Spiderman pasta that is tomato and cheese flavored that my friend Leslie has.


"I'd have to go with a bunny rabbit because it's really, really soft and it has a cute little nose that twitches. And a bunny rabbit looks a little less scary then Klank."
Anya Josephine Robinson
Age: 21 in November
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: Grass that was in my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"A bunny rabbit because all I know about Klank is that everything he sells is black. Bunnies have a lot more color and are a lot fuzzier."
Terry Cogans
Age: 26 (I think? I lost track at 22)
Weirdest Thing You Ate Today: A couple bowls of Cheerios.
