there's a storm a brewin' that's for sure. i'm thinking it's going to be cloudy with a chance of meatballs. meatballs being these lunkhead conspiracy kiddies that want to rain on our parade of progress that they call propaganda. these folks ain't getting enough sunshine. of course they don't believe in global warming. they're still living in their parent's basement where it's a lot cooler than a snowball's chance in hell. whether or not these nattering nabobs learn to heed the warnings of a network weatherman or not, i'm not forecasting a downpour of support for their narrative. christ, i haven't seen polar bears or penguins frolicking in my backyard here in colorado for at least 60 years. don't tell me there's no climate change.

Well said brother. What Degree are you by the way? Have you reached 33 yet? Just found a handy guide here.

i admit with all due shame, embarrassment, and anguish that i am not a mason. alas, i was deemed 4-F by the recruiting office. my 4 criteria failures being height, weight, excessive nipple gap, and chewing gum during the interview. but as luck would have it my hat size, I.Q., and sperm count contain the primes for factoring the number 33. which means i was eligible for hire as a janitor at the lodge. which also includes grounds maintenance, valet parking, and supervising the on-site nursery. so naturally i'm privy to a fair amount of masonic knowledge and teachings. no doubt this is why you inquired what degree i am. and i'm confident i passed your test. as only genuine lodge members know masons when conversing with the general public refer to the masonic degrees using the celsius scale whereas masons communicating with other masons will use the fahrenheit scale in referring to their respective degrees. otherwise you would have asked if i had reached the 91.4 degree yet. also, the lodge members fondly refer to me as 'piker' because of my uncanny resemblance to pike himself.

Ah, a proto-Mason. You are indeed privileged. Hope you don't pick up too many of those nasty STDs though...

what, another of your coy ploys? charles foster kane, you sly dog. hipster culturists, (such as moi) are full aware that proto is what the p stands for in LGBTQP. surely you know masonic law forbids proto-sexuality in any but the most dire extreme circumstances. such as business dealings with a mormon. and no, i don't intend to be picking up any nasty Sticky Telescoping Dildos anytime soon.
