A sweet-souled doofus of the second tier, Simon is invited to attend to top-secret conferences, but not to give opinions, only as an extra body - "room meat."

Maybe you get smacked with the devilish B-/C+ on that paper, or forget your lines at the play tryout and feel like a doofus in front of some stylish actor-types, or worse, lose so bad at pong that you have to take a naked lap through Mather courtyard.Bad news bears, right?
