The McCain Clan had its origins during the Major
League Baseball strike, here in North America. Anwar Knight, at the time the
host of 'The Late Show' on CJEZ-FM in Toronto, one night decided to do a 'bit'
about the strike. He said he had a line going directly to the talks and
basically was making fun of the whole thing.
It all started when Blues Jays' second baseman - Roberto Alomar - did a TV spot for McCain Fruit Punch where he says 'Catch the taste!' with a thick accent. Very funny... So Anwar, in the middle of his bit, mentions Alomar and in the the background you can hear 'McCain! McCain!'. Well, Chris Ingram (a.k.a. Chris McCain) and myself (a.k.a. Fred McCain) were working late that night and as we were driving home we heard the 'bit' and started laughing hysterically (don't ask me why...). From there the McCain monster started to grow. At first, people were simply using 'McCain! McCain!' as a substitute for 'hello, how are you?' or 'what's up?', but as time went by, meetings started to take place and the monster hasn't stopped yet. Nowadays, the applications keep on pouring in, as the Clan gets more and more popular. Membership, as in any prestigious organization, has its rewards. However, the strict admission policies make it very difficult to enter The McCain Clan.
