I refuse to be a part of any organization that would have me as a member, and considering how easy it is to join, I can be sure the chabbernaggle would be filled to capacity with all my annoying jerk-ass neighbors discussing "fantasy football" and how "Dual Action Cleanse really improved their bowel movements." Besides, I was born a snake-handler, I'll die a snake-handler (probably sooner rather than later, now that I think about it.) Bah!
