Just curious, what is the orgin/meaning/inside joke of the tagline "You're on the bus" when you open Gizmo?  :P

You had to be there, I guess.

"You're on the bus.  Or you're not."   Ken Kesey said it.

There is a great book about him, called Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

It summed up California in the sixties.

The phrase meant that either you're fully engaged.  Or you aren't.  I think it has more than a little Zen attitude in it.

Today's youth are decisively more dismissive, if yet less eloquent: "Meh."
