Tell me about the Clampers.

This may get moved, but I couldn’t think of where else to put it.

I’ve been invited by my sisterin laws boyfriend to join him in the brotherhood of E Clampus Vitus. Clampers, in other words.

All I’ve been able to dig up is that they are a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving western history and such.

So, any advice? Warnings? Any other brothers on here?

Apparently their arch-enemy is Angle-Grinder Man.

Well, come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed…
Oh, Clampers.

Nevermind!

So, nothing to do with this wise guy?

I got that E Clampus Vitus thing once in my computer. Had a devil of a time getting rid of it.

You know, dudes- in GQ, it is polite to wait until the actual question has been answered before the joke answers.

Anyway- here is their homepage:

My humor waits for no man!

Actually, most of us are still waiting.

Heehhee…

E. Clampus Vitus was formed in the Gold Rush era as a charitable society, “to succor orphans and comfort widows. Especially to comfort the widows”, per oral tradition not necessarily reliable.

Pfft. E clampus vitus is Latin for “Pull me over, I’m drunk.”
