My 81 year old mom told me; "You'll put yer damn eye out with thing!" and
then she took my sanding block away! - That's what they were giving out
twelve years ago when Iwas so honored. I then - knotheadedly - joined !
Oh well, Ya lives/ya learn...

Is anyone actually still a member of that thing? I expected it to be bogus,
but figured what the hell. After a couple years, they sent me a check,
with some fine print about how if I cashed this ~$16 check I would owe them
~$300 to become a "lifetime member" or some stupid shit like that.
I told them to shove it in no uncertain terms, because I don't do business
with people who resort to such trickery. To my amazement, they haven't
even bothered to try to get me to join again.
Now if only MCI would stop calling. MCI hires the most obnoxious
telemarketers in the country. One of them even said, and I quote, "Yo
mothafuckah, you *is* gon switch to MCI."
Yeah, the hell I "is."

Hey, Chuck is just a prospective member - he hasn't joined yet and
can't be held strictly to the by-laws. Jim on the other hand is
blatantly offering to sell his membership. I say we gather on the next
full-moon, break out all the sanding pads and administer the
traditional punishment while JOAT offers appropriate sacrifices to the
woodworking gods.

Do a Google Groups search to see what people have said about it here in the
past. It's cussed and discussed fairly often.

I've never heard of that club. Is it worth joining? Is it hard to get
in? I'd be interested in joining if it's worthwhile. Sounds like fun.

Ok, now I see, just another rip off "club" after google searching it..
I should've known better ha ha ha.
Well, if you'd read the information that came with your drill guage, it said
that you had to keep your membership status secret and that you wouldn't
disclose any proprietary information about the Handy Man Club. Now, we'll
have to kill you. Be on the look-out for large, black sedans.....
hehhehehe....

I took the drill guage, threw it somewhere on my bench and threw the rest
away.
