My friend Jesse has managed to infiltrate the Masons. He's being initiated in a week. After six months he could get me initiated too, if I dress up as a man. That way, I could learn all their dark secrets. Anyone have any suggestions on costuming a good six o'clock shadow, et cetera? Bwaaa haaaa

There was a book written by a woman who spent quite some time (one year?) pretending to be a man ... but I can't remember the title or the author  She used to stick stubbles on her chin but don't ask me how she did it because I wasn't paying attention ! It was on CNN a few weeks ago ... |

AH ! Found it ... Self-Made Man - Norah Vincent Journey into Manhood  To write her book Self-Made Man: One Woman's Journey into Manhood and Back, she transformed herself into a male alter-ego she named "Ned." To look the part, she got a haircut, added fake stubble to her face and 15 lbs. of muscle to her upper-body. She bound her chest, wore a suit and tie, and inserted a fake penis into her male briefs. Norah Vincent pretended to be man for 18 months. During that time she went to strip clubs, joined a bowling league, attended a men's monastery, and went out on dates -- all the while pretending to be a man named Ned. In the end, Vincent suffered a nervous breakdown, angered some of those she deceived, and learned a lot about the culture of BOTH genders. |

too much free time? what does that mean? isn't free time the goal? he is totally crazy (in a good sane way) and lives outside the box.

Why is it necessary to infiltrate the Masons?

So you can get one of those metal insignia things to put on the back of your car so that you won't get speeding tickets. Duh.
Oh, and to hang out with a bunch of boring old white guys who give a lot of money to charity. You'll sure show them!

it is not neccessary. goodness, you pepes are so critical. it's more about curiosity. jesse and i were both raised mormon, and a lot of mormon temple rituals were adapted from masonic rituals, and so we're both curious to check out some of their wacky occult practices.

When did asking a question become critical? Oops, I did it again!

chrisfan, i'm in a teasy mood.
luke, pondering the "infiltration" of the masons has little to do with "showing them." i don't begrudge them their fraternity. i'm simply curious about it. but alas, my curiosity is curtailed by my sex.

I'd rather sneak into the Loyal Order of Moose (LOOM) so I can get one of these fancy headgear :  |
