Iā€™m back! Miss me? > [@Draelin](#): > > So, how does one go about becoming a Doper Brat? Is there an application form? Some sort of practical test? Do I need someone to sponsor me for membership?

Okay, I saw this before I left Friday, and thought of a thousand innuendoes and quips with which to answer it, but I said to myselfā€¦ ā€œSelf, demonstrate some restraint. One of the other Bratpackers will surely pick up on this plaintive plea for membership.ā€ If you want things done right, you hafta do it yourself, I sā€™pose. šŸ˜‰ So, without innuendo : If ya need a sponsor, Iā€™m behind you all the way.
