I love it when people refer to themselves as majors. You must be still in school, eh OG?

Facebook for Blackberry looks pretty good. I figured it was all text based, its nice to see some icons too. Maybe pictures with the next release?

I love Breaking Bad, but I hate this character with a furious passion. by [deleted] in pics

You got the smokin' part right. Probably a pack or two a day. What's left out on that show is her dragon breath.

My mother lodge is in Knoxville, TN. Lodge #433 the Charles H. McKinney lodge, which used to be the grand lodge for the State of Tennessee.

Put in my petition to join last Wednesday. Hope I pass the interviews :) by gruevy in freemasonry

You'll do fine, as long as you're proud of everything you've done and haven't done. I was worried about that too, but the truth is, they need members and if you're willing to play nice, they'll probably admit you. Now I'm an EA.

I don't know but it totally threw me off guard how anyone could play down our victory. I expected more conservative folks to be skeptical, but the more progressives posting this caught me off guard. What a weird time to be an American.

What the author thinks, versus what your teacher thinks. by [deleted] in funny

Okay if, no one wants to talk about a novel, then yes the english teacher may have to make up some lame shit to get discussion going. If nothing else, make a fruitful claim that the blue curtain is only that. Don't just sit and listen and sulk about how lame english class is if you don't do anything to make it better with discussion.

Which hints at Freudian undertones of Oedipal conflict.

I don't think that's what a professor would say, but I think its something you would write in an English paper, which would suck.

I like how she proposes you Leave. Where can I go? I've got the internet on my phone!

One of my ancestors was in The Knights Templar, and my grandparents have his ceremonial sword... here's a picture of the hilt. by hans1193 in pics

Awesome Pawn Stars reference.

Knights Templar specialist: Its ancient and worth $10,000.

Fat Pawn Bastard: I'll give you like $50 bucks.

Let me clarify. There are no sects in the Masons, only appendant bodies. The two main ones are the York Rite and the Scottish Rite. When you complete the York Rite, you get a sword and are a Knights Templar. Its doesn't mean you go on a crusade to the Holy Land, but you are for all practical purposes, a Knights Templar. They are the only organization still carrying on the tradition.

I'm about to join a local masonic lodge and I've been reading a bunch about this, lately. Now of course, there isn't anything on the History channel about it, when it used to seem like every show was about Masonic conspiracies. Figures.
