RexTalionis: It's called a Fez.


The Fez

/One of my favorites from Steely Dan

No one messes with The Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and lives to tell the tale!

I know the guy that did this! I can't think of his name, but I can picture his fez plain as day.

xanadian: Well, he's a bit older than 80 years.....

Figured that would be the 1st comment, dammitsomuch.

Hmmm, stolen go-carts. Have they looked on Craigslist yet?

MAROON Fez's... Shriners wear Fez that are Maroon. the cheap knockoff ones are red.

You have to be a 33rd degree Mason... They'll get all Illuminati on your ass.

Meh, the Illuminati have nothing on the Stonecutters

Yes the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine is a funny name and the Red Fez is a funny hat and they drive those funny little cars in parades but these are old dudes that fund hospitals for children!

Hospitals for children!

You can't make fun of that. Its hard to think of a better example of Pure Good (tm) than running hospitals for children.

Heeeeey!

looks more like go-carts in the picture
/still have my 1983 Honda 3 wheeler and it runs like a dream

I'm guessing it was Noble Coy Lumpkin.

Embarrassed the whole Hahira Delegation.

No picture of Abe Simpson and Jasper in their fezzes and little cars?

Exactly. And tell the police to go take a look up on the high-dive for that ATV.

You used to laugh at me when I drove a Shriner's car... (new window)

They intend to be silly. A number of brothers in my lodge are Shriners. Some are clowns.

It's a great organization, but I'm about 20 years too young to really get much out of membership.

The Black Light patrol might be more your style. Only the Prince Hall lodges can do a 3rd degree better.

Join, being a member of the Grotto (Black Fez) and working hard to get brethren our age to join, there was a time when these groups were made of mostly young men...

Right now I'm fairly involved with Scottish Rite and the Royal Arch. Only so many hours in the day :)

I foresee joining the Shriners at some point in the not too distant future, but between being a line officer in blue lodge and my commitments in the appendant bodies I'm tied up.

Is this in reference to the Masons?

Yes. Shriners are Masons.

Okay, wasn't sure.

It can be confusing sometimes. I didn't realize until I joined the Masons that Masonic membership was a prerequisite for the Shrine.

Since we're at it, we might as well out ourselves.

We should look at having a Masonic meetup somewhere. What say you Brothers?

I could get behind that.

The median age of new Shriners is 32. Don't be too sure that you are too young to get much out of it. Check this (new window) out, if you are interested.
