Lost in the "In-Between", a Midwestern Anglo-Saxon descendent searches for commonality and a sense of place in this post-modern, post-politically-correct, post-American dream, post-EVERYTHING Brave New World of a high-tech surveillance police state polarizing the ignorant masses into hypnotic apathy or zealous outrage as lobbyists and politicians trade away the remnant freedoms of America's citizens.

Blanco Brethren have 1st Annual 3-day Camp-Shin-ding-Thing
Blanco Brethren (formerly known as the "Ancient Society of Sacred Assholes") has concluded their 1st Annual Camping celebration for men. Camp-Shin-ding-Thing seems destined to be a continual April 20th weekend event.
From most rumours up and down the valley volume was sufficient to keep away some of the werewolfs, all of the women, and other hounddogs and sane folks.
A common chant of "Chee! Chee!" perplexed most of the uninitiated and between some of the tears and beers and expressed fears and tobacco most of the brethren survived - somehow in tact.
They may not be the better off for it all, but they sure as hell ain't any the worse.

oh the love of memory!
ReplyDeleteoh the power of words!
From a face full of dirt with ass sticking out in the air (John), much harmonic camp fire jam sessions (Mitch), and plenty of jokes and a ton of bombastic midnight THUMPS (Pat)...
I wonder who's cosmic joke it was to pull us all together!!
huh, ps, throw an 'e' inside the 'breth'-'ren'...I don't want to have to tell you again...hahhah TW
Perhaps instead of a hard date for the annual gathering, we should hold it on the third weekend of April each year. That way the taxes are hopefully sent off, Spring time is here, and the Texas heat wave most likely has not yet arrived. Sure enjoyed hanging with some new folks as well as familiar ones. Maybe we should come up with aliases for the members and perhaps a creed of values for which this "brotherhood" stands.
ReplyDeleteI like 'Joker Boy''s ideas.... i could use a new alias... pretty sick of 'whiteboy'.... thire weekend's find with me but if you're thinking about taxes and weather and such you might just be a little too sophisticated to hang with this bunch.... ;)
ReplyDeleteJosh... as long as you can make it next time, I'll be happy... you think we can turn this into a cult and get somekind of tax exemption... i mean, we already got a priest :)
code of ethics #1:
ReplyDeleteMitch, keep your hand off Pat's ass!!! Don't be blaming Phoebe. (i.e., picture above)
who else...da Tone dizzle
So you think you gotta priest?
ReplyDeleteWho's that?
What's that?
Get real, the depth of sprituality he's got if he has one is like diving into an empty concrete simming pool.
Josh if you read this and your in please say so.
I think perhaps we do need aliases.
Some names are already beginning to stick.
