Kalam with a wig on its head and a bin-bag skirt on is still Kalam.

But sexy. In a desperate, trying-too-hard way.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If it doesn't come directly from closeted puppy-kicker WLC, it's already got some bonus points in my book.

There's nothing "obvious" about it. It's just how your ape brain happens to perceive time. You have no way of knowing whether time - or any point in time -  is "eternal", or not. Trying to "prove" anything based on such assumptions is a fool's errand.

Yeah, there can be only one WLC, and clearly it's me. Tongue

You aren't doing it right.  You have to say, "There can be only one WLC," then wait a couple days, and then say, "As I already showed, I'm WLC."
