Uh oh...Possible major snag here Beardo... However, I shall not be crude enough to link some prior threads, regarding Mr. Staton's credibility...
Lets just say, the Bean is yet another "not wanna be member" of the 'Secret Society'...:sorry
Beanie's "credibility" is what's keeping him out. His biggest asset was his daughter, Gwen, who is super cool. She is known as Gweenie Beanie. Seriously.
Can anyone think of any previous line of threads that have managed to "chap SJD's ass" any better than the Secret Society thought line? All the insults I heaped on him throughout the years, and some were very imaginative, never penetrated his slate-like head as deeply as the Secret Society.
Finally, as previously stated, "not wanna be a member," is an automatic rejection from the S.S. Wanting to belong is an absolute requirement. So it looks like OPH, who according to my sources in Fla, had previously earned many of the admission requirements, has decided to disqualify himself by knocking the S.S.
Duckbrain, although I have to wonder about your supposed "comfort" with being excluded. With all your, "...I'm so glad I aint in's...," I think Shakespeare said it best, "Methinks he doth protest too much!"
