Kindest thanks for your email. The heartwarming photos. One question: Do WE REALLY have to have the silly hats? Is it not possible to hire a talented designer to REVAMP the whole image.We mean: the WEhrmacht at least had good tailors (check out the field Marshall get up).The outstanding costume was the ‘high priest of the temple’ with his staff,But even that is a bit too much ‘Lord of the Rings’. The comedic effect is OVERSTATED.Anyway, you are all Fun, Fabulous Fellows (though mostly Far-too Fucking Fat).Get some gyms into the temples for HER sake. Less mumbo-Jumbo and more treadmills.WE want 5 kg off each lard arse before your next email PLEASE.Give US an hour and ten minutes a day, WE mean 33 hours a month (sigh). WE will watch your progress with interest Kindest regards, Captain Criteria and Minnie Mouse.
Sure is a lot of “promotion of the values of Freemasonry” going on.
I made it to 15 of those events. Great times. These pictures are such a morale booster.
