Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I had an invite to become an Odd Fellow, which is kind of like cousins to Freemasons as far as Fraternal organizations go.
A bunch of guys from my wife's former workplace are members.
That kind of thing is not really for me, but I could tell that business networking does definitely happen through those places. And they have a really nice hall in downtown Victoria with a beautiful billiards room (A few of her Christmas were at that hall). Would have been neat to have access to that.
Fathered more RS members than anybody else. Who's your daddy?

Glow, you and I can start a fraternity. Asians only. A branch of the Revscene Grand Lodge, gulolol. Secret handshake and all. Master Roshi, Titty Twister Shake.
Funny that the top ranking members of Freemasons are called "masters"....................
Addendum.
Honestly, we humans have a need to belong. Look at Biker Gangs, boys who never grew up is basically what that scene is about. Still the need to scratch an itch is accomplished. Even Revscene............ Fraternity............ oh, oh, ohhhhhhhh..... sorority............ nuff said. Why did I have to bring that up?

These organizations run on various levels. Most members don't see what happens at the top levels. Opening the organization up to non-whites, people of all types is a way to keep their secrets, well, safe. The organization is based on good things (on the outside) and they're doing a great job of changing their somewhat negative image. Every organization, whether it be secular or non-secular, is based on control. If you become a member of these organizations, you feel so special, since not everybody can become a member. For most of these groups, if you have a criminal record, you might as well kiss becoming a member goodbye. If you have questionable moral and ethical, you might as well do same. These organizations do a lot of charity work. Networking? Yeah, you know it happens no matter what - brotherhood. Like a union. In fact, a union is so much like................ I'm spending more time on this subject than I need to. All I want is that cool logo on the rear of my cars, gulolol.

The only Freemason I ever knew was a former meth addict, got in through his wife.
He acted like the internet didn’t exist lol.. you think organizations like this could possibly keep anything “secret” there’s nothing special about these groups it’s just a boys club who think they are something special lol
Saying the people at bottom don’t see what happens at the top is like saying the labourer on a construction site doesn’t see what Daddy Bosa is doing in his 20 million dollar home, of course he doesn’t.
It’s like finding a realtor or a mortgage broker who thinks their special because their part of the Vancouver club

With over 2,000 miles (3,220 kilometers) of coastline, almost 10,000 lakes and acres of soaring mountains, Vancouver Island is like Canada in miniature.
Its surfing is world-class, while visitors can join a summer boat tour for possible orca sightings. Land lovers have plenty to appreciate about the backtrails criss-crossing the island, encouraging exploration by bike or on foot. Head toward the forest on the trail of Roosevelt elk and grizzly bears for more thrills.

My dad worked there for 20+ years. If you ever ate there after 5PM Tuesday to Sunday, you've probably seen or met my dad.
It's probably your last stereotypical greasy/dirty HK style diner in all of Vancouver. Sticky floors, interior from the 1980s, picnic table covers, open noodle kitchen, rude waitresses.. you get the idea. That food raised me and my two brothers, and while this could be the nostalgia hitting me, I've yet to have a better wonton noodle soup.
My mom spoke to the owner recently and they said they're thinking of closing down the restaurant, so visit the restaurant if you're in the area and this type of food/vibe is up your alley. I personally want to revisit the restaurant myself for a meal, but it's a little difficult since my dad passed away recently in 2021 and I'm sure the feels are gonna hit me hard.
BTW, my dad made that sign in front of the noodle kitchen. He used to make a new one every couple of years when the prices changed, but it's probably at least a decade old now since he retired in 2015 - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSDBRe8VgAAHVAw?format=jpg

^I've always driven by it but never thought of going in. I'll have to hit it up sometime and see what it's about. Thanks for sharing your story!
