But the hard truth is you probably aren’t prepared or devoted enough to reap the avalanche of media attention a man who really, really, really liked Emmett Otter's Jugband Holocaust a lot would almost certainly get. Before you buy a sleeping bag, night vision goggles and bus tickets to a year’s worth of Dr. Willman's speaking engagements, take this simple quiz.
