"In its quest to create a New World Order that restricts individual freedoms and places ultimate power solely in the hands of a small cult of wealthy, prominent families, Skull and Bones has already succeeded in infiltrating nearly every major research, policy, financial, media, and government institution in the country. Skull and Bones, in fact, has been running the United States for years."

[Torie]

Yup, in tournament actually. I am a pretty good B flight player. I don't have the talent to win in A flight, except sometimes in team games. I am a better bidder than card player. Most lawyers are.

[CARepubGal]

Got Tinfoil DUmmie?

[Senator Pardek]

Most lawyers are.

As are most DoD hacks.

[Torie]

Do you like my new hairdo?

[zadok]

"I bet you believe the NWO is run by Queen Elizabeth and that we are all being raised as food for the REptilians from Alpha Centauri"

No, that is nonsense.

[Torie]

That's a relief. No self respecting retile of any planet would want to eat me anyway. Sigh.

[Torie]

retile = reptile.

The student members choose each year's new Bonesmen. There's usually a few legacies from old bones families, a jock, someone from the newspaper who's ambitious and considers himself to be brainy, and an artsy gay guy. I think the student members wanted to take women and the alums vetoed that. I don't know if they take women now. But anyway, they are pretty poor material to build a ruling elite from, though it's a great opportunity for young social climbers to get a head start. I don't suppose there's any specific bones ideology. They'd all seem liberal to most people here, but then so would most Yale students.

If you wanted to rule the world, you'd have to come up with a better apparatus than this. On the other hand, if you wanted to climb the social ladder it's a good start. If you wanted to propagate an ideology in 1910, Bones would have been a good place to start. But today there are many other and more effective channels. And Bones looks looks pretty passe. The indoctrination takes place in the classroom before anyone joins such a group. Nothing the individual gets from such a group would change their views more than what they've been getting in the classroom. I really doubt the current President Bush got any indoctrination from Bones. And society as a whole has already been set on a given course. The horse has already left the barn and even if this were the right door it's too late too close it.

FR is a secret society.

Stop posting or people will catch on.

[PRND21]

S & B is mostly a cool way to get more free beer and chicks.
The Stonecutters are a different story, though.

[M. Thatcher]

You actually admit you play Bridge?

Stick with Torie for that one.

My game is straight pool.

[dread78645]

As soon as initiates are allowed into the “tomb,” a dark, windowless crypt in New Haven with a roof that serves as a landing pad for the society’s private helicopter

Is it a black helicopter ?
I wondered where they went ...

[Senator Pardek]

My game is straight pool.

Cool. 6 ball in the right pocket every time.

[M. Thatcher]

You're just the kinda guy I used to hustle.

No joke.

[Senator Pardek]

You're just the kinda guy I used to hustle.

I'm glad you went back to school and got a respectable job.

You wanna smack me so bad right now, don't you?

[M. Thatcher]

You wanna smack me so bad right now, don't you? Nah, not into that.

Seriously, I did hustle pool in my early 20s. Played the bars in a midwest college town -- so it was mostly drunk frat boys. "Can you show me? How do you hold the stick? Like this?" I love straight pool and nine-ball, but I only hustled eight-ball, and never played for more than $100 a game -- and only on 6-foot tables, which is amateur hour. The fun part started when the drunk frat boy started losing and his friends razzed him about letting some chick beat him. Once the guy got mad (and they always did), I knew I had the match. I dated a guy who was a real serious player, played for thousands a rack on regulation tables. He taught me a lot, but I never had that kind of talent. Fun to watch, tho.
