Just wondering wondering what the qualifications for membership are. I mean, I have less hair than Mr. Bigglesworth. I'm not much of a wizard, though.

A hat with Wizzard written on it might help? :)
Having luggage made from sapient pear wood might also help :)
I was invited to become a BWC member after several iterations of the RRRR (Random Runtime Roulette Render) contest. The invitation literally came as a bolt out of the blue, and of course, I hopped on it ("like a chicken on a June bug", as we say here in the South!)
There is an element of secrecy involved, so I am not at liberty to divulge the particulars of the processes and procedures involved. It's more a question of managing to gain the attention of the founding members, and hope for an invitation. After that, there is a "task" that you must perform; not terribly difficult, but potentially embarrassing. (Mine sure was!) That's pretty much how it happened for me.
A good place to start, though, would be to wander into the current RRRR thread (the contest is running now, and runs through the 22nd of June), strut your stuff a bit, and impress the hell out of the current members. (Of course, the RRRR is just @$$-loads of fun, regardless of the ultimate outcome!)
I wish you well in your endeavours.
Thanks. I had never seen anyone actually say anything about it, just little statements in their signatures in their posts. I'll have to give the RRRR a look-see. Now that I'm not working, I may actually have some free time.
And here I thought it was a euphemism for a certain part of anatomy. :coolgrin:

Personally, I'd forgo the hat just for the luggage!
RRRR, I usually avoid contest threads like the plague.
You don't become a member, you are selected/handpicked/chosen, for a lifetime commitment.... which eventually can be a rather short assignment as a wizards day to day business can be very dangerous at times...

Of course a degree awarded by Ridcully, of Unseen University, co-signed by the Uni's librarian would be required :smirk:
Vinny
in other words
they choose you!
HINT, Google will find their Site
http://www.b-w-c.org/ it will not help you though
Hint!
Create a "magical" render featuring a bald wizard, wizardess, wizardette, wizard wannabe, and have fun doing it! Your render can be in the RRRR, PC challenge or monthly challenge, we have eyes everywhere!
I don't know if bribes work, no one's tried yet.
How bout a pizza?

I promise, you will be welcomed with open arms and open hearts! And mostly open minds, as well. Definitely give it a go; trust me, you'll have a blast!
Membership does require a bit of insanity mixed with a lot of zany positive humor. :) The word 'bit' might be understated? Yeah, for sure, that is an understatement.

I actually have one of those. Not co-signed by the Librarian, sadly. :) Yes, honestly I have! Years and years ago C M O T Dibbler (aka Stephen Briggs) ran a UU 'degree by post' exam.

Ook!
It was pretty obvious that you passed on that front so you didn't need to be 'told'. :bug: Spelling? :snake:

Pete,
The difference between English and American spelling is quite simple: Americans spell words sensibly, we English spell them properly.

I don't know that is sensible as much as they spell how they think it sounds, in the same way as they try to pronounce some of the place names and words the way they read them. Have you ever heard an American trying to find his way in the UK, when he wants to go to places like Leicester, Plymouth,Wrotham or Worcester. (to name just a few)

You mean adding the 'o' to the original Latin word, humor?
LOL I love poking the bear. :P
Don't you mean the beaur?
no that is "beauuuuuuuuuur it's cold"

Close. Lestar, Rootam and Wustar is probably closer. Plimuth is about right.
Wustar? Geezus that one I'd be saying Worchester. lol
prolly coz I say whooshtersheer sauce
I pronounce that as, "the sauce with the name I can't say". ;)
It usually comes out as Worsteshire, which by looking at the spelling cannot be right.
Worcester is the city Worcestershire is the County, and also the sauce.
