Pizark

Just in case you are wondering where the name Pizark comes from... The genesis is in a 1960s/1970s US song called 'The Name Game'. Don't ask me what the purpose was or what the entertainment value was but seemingly the essence was to take any name and go, for example, "Park, park, PIZARK, banan-afana fo-zark, fee fi fozark, park." If you don't believe me, google it! Anyway, a teammate of mine at W&M was called Mark McCain. His license plate was Mizark. My nickname at W&M was Park, hence the Pizark. Convoluted perhaps, but there you go...
