Bottles: "Sorry Mister Whiteman, you're just not odd enough to join the Odd Fellows."
Rufus_T_Firetween: ottles: My dad was a mason and a shriner << What's the difference?

Rufus_T_Firetween: *Bottles
Rufus_T_Firetween: from what I've read, you have to be a Master Mason to be involved with the Scottish Rite
Cease: Late August. I had just spent the night with my girlfriend in Regina, Sask. As we walked downtown, we saw a parade of Shriners driving by. They pointed at be because I hads long hair. They were wearing Fezes. Very surreal.

Merlyn: Ride side
Elayne: Oh dear, Cat. Maybe I'll have something else to do next Thursday :)
Bottles: Remember when radio stations used those 12" reels of tape?

Bottles: Once the operations director knocked on the studio window and pointed to a reel of tape that was all snarled up. Oops.
Cease: I do, Bottles
Elayne: Oy gevalt, Cat...
