No, they're just getting caught more.

That, and they do zesty police work.

Lab grown vadge eh?

Some friends invited us out Sat night. They gave us the address to the bar we were meeting them at. It was a Moose Lodge. Never been in one before but I knew there'd be cheap drinks, so I didn't really give a shtein.

We get there around 9:30 and are having a drink when this bell starts chiming and everyone gets up and faces this giant moose head mounted on a wall and they recite a prayer. It was a Jesus prayer. Then they start passing around collection plates. Then they let the band start playing again and everyone goes back to drinking.

That's about the time I noticed that the 10 commandments was on every tv in the joint.

I thought it was hilarious. Take a 30 second praise Jesus break and then you can get back to your boozing and your devil's rock & roll and your dirty dancing and your lusting and fornicating.

Needless to say, I won't ever step foot in a Moose Lodge again.

[Diomedes]

Never been to one either, and never will thanks to this report.

Moose.  Lodge.

Uh, no.

It was a relatively "young" crowd too. Mostly 30s and 40s, quite a few in their 20s and then one dude who very well could have died in the last 24 hours. Half decent garage band playing some 70s and 80s rock.  Had it not been for the prayer and collection plates, I'd have probably enjoyed myself more and would go back from time to time, but that pretty much soured me on the whole thing. Shore would love it.

Scheduled religious chants at a bar? Jesus that's straight out of Ray Bradbury's worst work.

Are you sure this wasn't just a catholic church, you were really drunk, and the moose head was a candelabra?

[hbionic]

Maybe he was in Carcosa.

No, I would not. That bullshtein doesn't go on at my lodge. Ever. But still, no need for you to stop by.

Low down sleazy shtein by the cop here.

I'm in no way a hater of law enforcement. But I will say with the amount of stories that come out about the abuse of power and making up probable cause it scares me that it could happen to me. Get a power hungry jerk who wants to make trouble and you're in a huge mess.

Was that cop actually listening to an 80's hair band?

Actually, what you saw was the nine o'clock ceremony. Lodges choose either to do it or not. The "prayer" has nothing to do with Jesus and his name is never mentioned. It starts with 'Let the Children come', and is in reference to the homeless or in need kids that are housed and schooled by the big Moose 40 miles west of Chicago which is were the money donated is sent.

In other words, the jar head must have been drunk because he doesn't have any idea what the farg he's talking about.

[shorebird]

...oh yeah, do you really expect anyone to believe that the 10 commandments was showing on every tv in the lodge? If you going to make up some bullshtein story at least try to make it somewhat believeable.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sounds like some cult type stuff
