Yesterday I met up with a good friend and saw the Shriners parade again,

just like the day before. Also just like the day before it was hotter than

Hell out and my original plans of wearing my black robe in the sweltering

sun suddenly seemed like a bad idea. It was something like 35 degrees (cel)

out and there was no way I was going to allow my good ritual robe to get all

wet. I arrived in plain clothing. My friend and I perched ourselves along

an overpass and watched the entire parade from beginning to end.

Some interesting highlights:

The local RCMP started off the Shriners parade with a motorcycle drigade for

10 minutes. You know, driving circles in the streets and stuff. (Not that

I'd ever insinuate that the RCMP have anything to do with the Shriners)

Then near the front of the parade were several cars with the "heads" of each

individual visiting lodge, including the local Vancouver lodge. As each car

pulled up to the platform, where we had a birds eye view, they were greeted

by someone rather dignified looking who lead them to their appropriate seat.

One after another the highest degree Shriners was driven in a bright red

car towards the main stage and then was led in by the escourt and sat down.

Each car had a sign on the door designating the lodge name and their high

degree status. One car had a very interesting sign which got our attention.

It read something like: "Knights Templar order of..." (something

something...) I forget the rest because I was so struck by the Shriners

open admittance in association to the Knights Templar! WOW! Right there in

broad daylight. The head master (rider) was also wearing a white apron with

a large solid gold pyramid with what might have been an eye in the center of

it! However, viewing him from the overpass it was a little difficult to see

the exact detail. What's interesting is that if we had decided to be right

up close on the ground where most of the viewers were seated, we wound't

have noticed his apron and pyramid motif at all. Some of the individual

lodge names were interesting: "Giza" (Vancouver lodge), "Ramses", "Egypt"...

(Many members of the this parade were Vancouver lodge members - and

considering it was a TWO HOUR parade... Just imagine the number in town

here!) So I guess it's just another one of those lovely coincidences that

this whole Egyptian theme permiates the entire Shriners theme from one lodge

to another? Right? Then I ask you - What the Hell does Egyptology have to

do with "Helping children" as their signs boast?

I was rather perturbed that I wasn't in full Reptilian mode because the head

lodge masters had a perfect view of us as they passed right underneith. At

one point I realized that the little cars they were driving didn't have the

Dinosaur coverings that they had on the previous parade. Interesting.

Wonder why only the first day's parade had the blatent Reptilian

references... Near the end of the parade there were several cars stopped

right under us and they all tried to get our attention by yelling up to

those on the over pass. We were only about 30 feet away probably and heard

them very easily - even some of their casual conversations at times...

However I decided to respond differently than the rest of the tiny crowd on

the overpass - Instead of the frantic waving that most people were doing, I

simply held my hand out with the classic "Hail Satan" finger posture. (Also

see: "Rock on, dude" hand sign). ONE Shriner saw me and responded with a

very large extra effort wave and smiled very playfully. Take that any way

you want. I had to laugh.

Oh and by the way, one of the most active and entertaining lodges of the

entire parade yesterday was the "Mocha" lodge, but I forgot where they are

from... Somewhere State-side anyway. Just think about that one a minute:

Most hyper lodge - "Mocha"... Just a coincidence? I think not! (pondering:

I wonder if that Shriner lodge owns Starbucks...) ;) (tongue firmly

planted in cheek)

I wish it was cooler out so I could have worn my robe and Reptilian mask to

this event - we had the most perfect position for some real Masonic culture

jamming. Then the "Hail Satan" sign might have gone over in a more

interesting way. ;)

I still have thoughts going through my mind like scenes from "They Live" - I

imagined the HAARP being switched off and all the spectators suddenly

witnessing the 4th dimension open right up before them, and seeing these

Reptilians phasing in and out right through their bodies in their little

cars and clown outfits. LOL - I know, I know, but it's a laugh after all.

*I* want them to come out of the Lizard closet more than anyone. All I can

add to this thread is the closing scene from "They Live"... "What's the

matter, baby?" ;)

What will YOU do when the world's Shriners come to your town? (giggle)

Love,

Reptoid. (ETI Ambassador Purple Crow, COHRA president)
