Oh, and as one conspricist told me, you get $100k for EA, $500K for FC and once raised to MM you get a cool 1 million. Must be something new. Never saw any of that money myself.

What? OMG! These *******, they totally kept my money! I could've paid out my mortgage! And I would've gotten a Ferrari! I could've afforded Megan Fox as my Yoga instructor!

I'm gonna talk to our Worshipful Master right away. This is bull.


(Jason, thanks for pictures, I'm gonna totally re-post them on our lodge's forum. I don't get the one that says: "Masons wife giving away the secret". Sorry its late night, and i've just came from the lodge, we were doing restoration work, so tired as hell... I might be missing something obvious...)

I never really minded all the goat jokes to the candidate before the initiations, but I have a real problem with the smart ***es and their goat noises during the degree. Way too childish.

Wow, if that happened in our Lodge during a Degree working, the Brother in question would be ejected from the Lodge and probably face censure. We did have a JW who made discreet frog (and other) noises but this was before the meeting was opened.

I second that. In our lodge DURING a degree, nobody dares to open their mouth unless its and officer and its his turn to speak whatever needs to be said.

Our lodge have huge number of young brothers, and a lot of them are officers already. So it might be tempting as hell i guess for some, but to be honest i cannot imagine it really crossing anybody's mind, at least in my lodge, even despite so much young element.

That's of course while Lodge is in official meeting or degree nite.

Even in prep Sr.MofC was cracking jokes about freshly sacrificed virgin, and i was furious and called him stupid: "Who the hell sacrifices a virgin BEFORE the orgy dum-dum?!"

But once my foot was in the lodge = zero extra mouth-flappin'. Like Marines - everything is executed on highest form of professionalism and dedication.

I imagine WM would rip somebody a new buttcrack for goat noises during a Degree.

And afterwards is back to beer, goats, virgins and of course world domination - and all is well.

But my WM told me he was invited to a lodge once to give EA lecture... They planned to do a degree outside almost literally wearing hula-shirts and slippers. Guy never showed... But i guess they would've went on with it if he did. So sometimes you see totally weird things like that - so goat's "b-u-u-w-w-w-e-e-e-e-e" during a degree is not as crazy as i think.

But I'm still fresh behind the ears when it comes to FM-sry - I'm still new.

Side note- I had heard about the goat joke before I joined. There was no kidding about it from my lodge, however my buddy who was being initiated in another Lodge had some fun...

He brought carrots to the Lodge, and during the "divestation" preparations he pulled them out of his pocket. He was asked by his conductors; "what are those for?"

He calmy replied "for the goat of course!". The room adjoining the Lodge exploded with laughter. I can only imagine what the WM was thinking....
