[Simon of the Playa]

DUH!

not that there's anything wrong with it...


let's just be honest, finally.

it's a rite of passage.

[ygmir]

is there something wrong with Mason's?

[Roberto Dobbisano]

absolutely not.

my great grandfather was a noble at mecca #1 NYC.

Mormon rites are based on those used by Masons.

How paranoid should I be? Is Larry hiding his polygamist family in his RV? Did he say, "This must be the place" when he first saw the Black Rock playa?

(really, it isn't "this is the place" that's a misquote)

[H.G.Crosby]

nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of...




i got great Gramps funny hat too...

if you're lucky, i'll post a photo of me wearing the fez.

it is an interesting side note that Captain William Morgan (google him) who was abducted in Batavia NY in the 1820's, His Wife became One of Joseph Smith's wives, and one of the first people "Baptized" by the Morman Church after death was Capt. Morgan.

the "Bee-Hive" is indeed, a Masonic Symbol.

No, but eplaya is!

[Trishntek]

I knew there was some reason I kept feeling like wearing a fig leaf is appropriate!!!

NOW I KNOW!!!!

Thanks Simon! We must have fig leafs for everyone!!!! Now it is incumbent upon us Fornicalians to bring an abundance of fig leafs since we are The State where FIGS are GROWN! We must provide!

I thought it was a pagan ritual. I won't give credit to Nicholas Cage and the Wicker Man, since it was a horrible movie.....and the original wasn't much better...but, seems more pagan than Masonic.

I'm not going to be satisfied with anything less than footage of you driving his car.

The Wicker Man was an actual ritual, the movies, on the other hand, were kinda silly. Larry denies ever seeing the movies, but I'm fascinated how this little bonfire came full circle.

hmmm. judging by the number of fraterinty brothers out there you might be right...

then again...

what would be the point of having a secret ritual... that is completely public.... and not a secret...

maybe one of those best place to hide is right under your nose. but why would they have to hide?

[Simon of the Playa]

there are certain similarities between some Canadian rituals on the playa, and, secret rituals of the Illuminati.

I opened up the plan B envelope upon seeing this image and all that was in it was a microscope and a tiny note. As I placed the note under the scope I could hear a crescendo of old funny hatted men, (yes i could hear their hats), reverbarating from deep within my eustachian tube.

Anyway. After I regained my composure from that unexpected tone I was able to peer into the eyepice of the microscope and I read the following:

"There's always been a them and us and that will probably never change/but goddliness is part of us and odd enough they seem the same."

[Simon of the Playa]

well then, i guess it's time we all started thinking good thoughts, saying good words and doing good deeds then, huh....


oh wait, that's Zorasterianism, and they worship fire and the Light....Ahura-Mazda.


oh fuck....


Maybe it's a Pharisee Thing in the Desert.

Interesting thing about the Mason's is their secret handshake. I was fortunate to have learned it from JK, though I do find it rather repetitive, yet comforting.
