The Brain Bus is coming to Myrtle Beach Friday

I don't think I eligible to retake the test yet.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

LOL - it's just that it is so unlike you.

They were Feisty Bran Flakes, given how old I am.

And, it is all about the poop.

I auditioned for J! in May of 2007 in Atlanta, any ideas about whether I should go to the Brain Bus?

As I understand things, the contestant pool goes for 18 months now, so you may still be in, meaning you probably don't need to go.

How much of a hardship would it be?

If it's no biggy - go and be outrageous - if you are not on their list, get on their list. If you are on their list - remind them of how great you would be on their show.
