OUCH!!! That's like dad not being able to make my big game!! I understand the family cabletow, though. Family first always. You're still welcome to stop by with the family and check the scene without being part of the carving village.

Bro, I brought my 80-year-old mom to the Tiki Farm Sale, she got up at 6:30 am and helped us load chairs! She loved it!
Why not bring him to the Deluxe, Number One Greatest Show on Earth -

Amys' not too fond of the chop........especially after I got Babs home at 7 and he was supposed to be home at 4. I think pushing it would warrant building a nice bamboo doghouse.

My mom LOVED the Tikiyaki orchestra; she's a pretty fine pianist, she actually used to do a duelling-pianos act with my Aunt, who later studied with Robert Goulet and could have gone concert-pro. So she absolutely loved sitting 15 feet from that band playing their retro tunes. I bought her the CD for her birthday.
So what ARE you gonna do with your brother-in-law???? We want the whole story!

I think I'm going to take him down to that docked Russian sub and let him scoot around on his butt in there for awhile...fish tacos after...he likes fish tacos.
So Cammo, are you going to carve in one of those special little hats too? Someone take pictures...

Shriners ARE Masons, but this is just a Masonic event. All Shriners are invited to don their Fez and partake of pig. All others are welcome to don a fez, as long as it's not a Shrine Fez. Wearing regalia that you have not earned is a no-no.

What Billy means here is that Thomas is correct - only Shriners wear the Fez!
Shriners are senior Masons, who have gone through all the Masonic grades right to the top, and have basically graduated to being most excellent elder Masons. That's why they goof around a lot - it's a reward for a lifetime of dedication to Masonic ideals. (And showing up at lodge regularly.)
Shriners are also all pretty much great guys. Silent film genius Harold Lloyd was a Shriner, and helped build the Shrine Auditorium for fundraising in L.A. That in turn led to Hollywood being a center of charity events, a tradition very much still with us.....

Cam, you are correct, sir. And it's all for the kids. We have burn units, speech centers, Shrine hospitals, and it's all free for children.
When you see those silly drunk old men in their crooked Fez, they are usually in the middle of a fund-raiser. That's what they do, CONSTANTLY. Keeping hospitals afloat is an expensive deal, man. That's why I get so irate when folks who are not even Masons go around wearing our Fez. It's earned. So, you found it at a thrift store......put it on your shelf. If you want to wear it, spend two years in the Masonic lodge and Scottish Rite, and EARN the right to wear it.

"speach centers"
Actually, Billy means 'speech' centers, but otherwise he's AOK.
