Help! I have pissed off the Masons...

I wish I was kidding, but I'm not.

Without spilling the beans too much,I crossed a couple of men who are pretty high up in the "association". Now,I am concerned.New Year's Eve, I was spending time with the landlord of my building, having a drink. He began explaining that he was "from a Scottish lineage", and his son's are named Mason and Mark ( Mason being the first born...).

Then I saw the ring...

Rex's stiupid move of the new year; Rex gives landlord the "secret handshake" as it was taught to him. He returned it...

Anyhow, anybody know if I'm in trouble? Ya think? I pissed off 2 of them,live in the apartment owned by one, and gave him the "shake,wink,nudge,nudge" that a non-member isn't supposed to know, in order to pass myself off as one...

Hmmm....stooopid.

Any advice?

Unless he was one of the secret, stealthy, ninja masons who can kill with one well-practised handshake, you'll be OK. Can you not now milk this mason-impersonating skill for personal benefit? Eddie Izzard's very good at it.

Ha ha ha! I don't think you're in trouble. I should think he knows damn well you're not a mason, he was having a little joke with you.

If he hasn't realised, or wants to extend the joke, he may e.g. ask you what lodge you belong to -- just 'fess up and say you didn't mean to take the mickey.

You know, if you become friends, you may get a guided tour of his lodge building, though obviously, not while anything's going on.

They're not what you think.

You pissed off 3 masons?

Rex,

As long as they don't own you they hold very little power over you. Remember that.

Hey Chrome, thanks.

I guess I should carify. I was in a business arrangement with the first two mentioned. We were very close, and that is how I gained the knowledge of the handshake. Too bad it ended...with a lawsuit.They were going to nominate me...

The hand shake, as I investigated a little more, turned out to be the real deal.

the handshake turned out to be real eh?

or was it a famous mason disinformation-fuck-with-the-non-masons handshake?

I know a mason, he's a little strange but OK, he also has a massive sense of humour. Admittedly a little scary but I reckon they're fucking with you... masons have this weird radar and some of them are very lame. Nice suits though.

If they start hassling you just shout "will no-one help the widows son?" that should confuse them long enough for you to make your escape.

Just try and convince 'em that you've reached a secret higher degree they don't know about in a lodge they don't belong to..

..mutter bizarre conspiratorial phrases to them and stare in a serious manner, and they'll get all uptight and wonder whether they've forgotten some of their Masonic lore and try to hide the fact that they don't know what the hell you're talking about by saying "er..yes, of course" and "um, I suppose so, yes".

Start carrying around one of those little sledgehammers that real stonemasons use to snap bricks. If anyone gives you any trouble, whack em in the knee. Then, when you are arraigned, you can blame it on your landlord.

You don't seriously think yr in trouble, do you?

Do you?

All the masons I know are quiet, weedy men. I mean, I might be worried if they teamed up and bullyrammed me, but.....

Don't worry Rex, if the Masons get you we'll organize a round table of magick users to psychically battle the fiends and collapse their ancient organization.

Or at least help the cops find the body.

"They were going to nominate me"

But would you join a club that would have you as a member?

Present company excluded, of course.

Call me Hiram Rex

The non member confusion handshake? Hmm, I guess it's possible.

Does that "widow's son" actually work? I was going to use that in court to confuse them...but decided against it. Second option: "THE PYRAMID AWAITS THE MASTER BUILDER"...

Thanks all.

well,
i read from hell.
so i know all about the widows son.

but all the other malarkey?

who's a member?

is it wise to join, or is it a bit hard to leave? would i be endangering myself to consider it?

REX! izzatchu?

quote Marx attem:

"I'd join ya club to beat ya over the head with it... come to think of it, I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member!"

that should really piss 'em off.
If not... tell 'em 33rd degreee is an "administrative office".

seriously... a now dead relative was a member - never taught me the handshake... PM me!

Perhaps I should go for the 33rd Degree Anti-Mason of the invisibles...
