This is part of the process which cannot be discussed. Suffice it to say that it is an eye opening experience.

I wonder if this can be taken literally.

We could always vote on a Grand Poobah of the Elks Lodge.

Why did the dead baby cross the road? To vote for the Poobah!

Are women allowed to be a Freemason?

If so, what is the approximate male:female ratio in the Freemasons?

If it's overwhelmingly male orientated, why might that be?

Maybe you must have a hammer in order to join Odin One-eye's exclusive little club.

'Freemason' seems like a contradiction in terms. I mean, rocks and stones should be free, right? I find 'em all the time on the beach.

Why most 'gemstones' have an exponentially inflated price rate:

I was married once. My ex-husband had bought me a 1-carat diamond ring for about $6,000. The same stone, uncut, costs about $50. The cost of cutting and setting the stone was about $5,950. The jeweler insisted that it was the fairest price she could offer. "How much profit can you make?" she asked me.

Apparently a LOT. I took the ring to several pawn shops to discover its street value, and was offered $100, as the highest offer.

So, to sum up:

pre-marriage ring: $6,000.00
post-marriage pawn: $ 100.00

I see a sharp decline in any holdings in DeBeers - in fact, I just heard the diamond market bottom out like a lowered '79 Lincoln Continental.

How's THAT for 'forever,' Mr. DeBeers?

Rocks and stones can also be used as effective tools for smashing the instruments of authority and returning the power to the prolitariate! You gotta love those things!

Don't worry I haven't turned communist on you by most accounts

Do they suggest you to take either the red pill or the blue pill?

What did PLATO just write? Or, maybe you don't consider his lodge a serious thing? Which one are you a member of?

PLATO, thanks for the info.

[Lonestar]

PLATO is correct.

Incidently, it has been my experience that Freemason Lodges(Texasfied, yeeha!) run more towards BBQ's instead of fully stocked bars.

A rather large number of masonic symbols appear to be on the cars here on the Naval Base, I wonder how many are Masons.

[st_swithin]

So who are the retailmasons? Assuming freemasons exist, that is.

Jacques de Molay will be avenged.
