What gets your goat?

[BlazeTheVampire]

I'm willing to believe that meanings were transferred orally. Just because the group disbanded doesn't mean their teachings were lost. Especially since there are chapters of Freemasons and Knights Templar still meeting today.

P.S, I come from a Masonic family.

yes but the freemasons are unsure of the exact past they have, it's shrouded in mystery, even to them and the knights templar that are around today only share the name of the ancient order of knights we all know and love

so the original meaning of the tarot have been lost over the years, much like the origins of the masons and their rituals, it's one of the downsides to a strictly oral tradition

ps i am a mason and i've done some research

Wow, it's rare that I meet a random Mason... seriously. You're the second random Mason I've met this year alone. Most of the time I get the "wtf is a Mason?" response, lol.

i would be one of those ppl, really wtf is a mason? when i hear that word i think brick and steelwork for some strange reason lol

You're not too far off, that's one of the definitions of the word, lol. But we're referring to Freemasons. Which I think cleverlymadeup will be better at explaining. I'm only a Rainbow Girl, which means that they don't divulge secrets to us, so it's hard for me to actually explain what Freemasonry is, lol. My little section, Rainbow Girls, was created by a Freemason as a group for their daughters to learn the religious views of their fathers. Sadly, the Rainbow Girls lessons are mostly "This is what a woman should do. NO ARGUMENTS!" but I did come away from them with a few valuable things...

My grandfather, a Freemason, is also a sheet metal worker, so you're darn close. But I'm not entirely sure of the link between the two.

I get angry when things seem to happen altogether just to piss me off.

 

[TJ rock 101]

things that get my goat...
SNIPERS in fps games, your just walking along and BANG you die.
people that get an army from somewhere in seconds and kill all your builders and gatherers in strategy games ><
and people that try to catch all the pokemon.... something is wrong with them.
And NPCs that have perfect aim at 9000 yards when your behind cover and never need to reload or run out of ammo or come out of hiding.

The free masons were originally a group of stone masons who met a pubs and such to share they're secrets of trade. Eventually, they made this 'Boys club for men', as it is sometimes referred to because of it's initiation rites, secret codes, and some central secret that keeps them all together.

Wow, I didn't have to get this thread off topic.

actually no they weren't, the pub part is even wrong, that's the grand lodge of england. the real reason or history is lost unfortunately, one theory is they are the modern version of the knights templar who went into hiding more or less after friday oct 13 1307. the first lodges were in scotland, the english pub lodges copied them and removed most of the jacobian stuff from the ritual

but to answer the question of who the freemasons are they are a group of gentlemen that get together and try to help one another become better men, husbands, fathers and members of society. they also do a lot of charity work and donations, mostly anonymous, the more public side is know as the shriners

Weeeeeeeeeel I only know what I've seen on the discovery channel and read in the Davinchi Code...
And only one of those sources is refutable.
I'm not telling you which one though...

 

[exoneuk]

Bad spelling. Some prime examples from someone I work with:

I'v
Frezzer
Toilit
Som
U

Anyone who spells YOU as simply U... don't even get me started. I'm really bad with this sorta stuff. I will go through every notice I see at work and literally correct all of the spelling and grammar! I hate myself sometimes. Only sometimes. Other times it's quite necessary.

People being condescending towards me. If you want to speak to me like a dog, you can expect me to bite you back.
Jordan and Peter Andre, Kerry Katona and all of the other "celebrities" who are simply famous for being famous.
Geri Halliwell.
Victoria Beckham (and David, except when he's playing decent football).
The rest of the Spice Girls for the whole "WE LOVE EACH OTHER!" tour debacle when it was clearly about the money AND YOU KNOW IT.
My brother playing Bust-A-Move 2 and getting into a proper rage when it's ALL HIS OWN FAULT. You broke my PSOne when you throw that controller at it. You still haven't paid me back for that either! (He's not online but the point still stands)
The fact there's NEVER any tennis coverage in any newspaper outside of Wimbledon except in The Times and I'll be damned if I'm reading that anytime soon!

OH, and I hate the term "assumptions make an ASS of U and ME" - seriously? Whoever thought that up has either got no life or... I think that covers it.

Yeah, not much.

That damn chupacabra! He's always takin' me goats!

That's okay. A lot of people only know the Shriners as the guys who wear the silly hats and drive the tiny cars at parades. I had the fortune of working with the Shriners at the Zenobia Shrine Circus when it came by. I've done this every year since I was very little- I learned how to swing on the trapeze before I learned to swing on a normal swing, and one year I got to babysit tiger cubs. It was during a local stage crew strike, and they came and asked the Rainbow Girls if any of us had parents willing to help. My mother just signed a waiver instead and I got to play with rather large kittens for a couple of hours. :-D

They did a story on Freemasons on the local news not too long ago because the city of Sandusky, Ohio is laid out in the square and compass, the symbol of the Freemasons. Picture [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Square_compasses.svg] Apparently the city was designed by a Mason and so the news was like "Treasure?" (Thank you Nicholas Cage and Hollywood). It was really funny to watch all the local Masons basically tell the news channel they were idiots.

 

[zen5887]

Im gonna go out and say I hate people..

There are exception but thats the general gist of it

 

[ShadeOfRed]

More things that get my goat.

-Family Guy, it's not a good show. It's a carbon copy of The Simpsons with sexual and racist humour thrown in. Not saying The Simpsons doesn't have those, Family Guy has them in excess.
-People who DELEBIRATELY MISSINTERPRET WHAT YOU SAY. Included in this category is people who make a sexual joke out of anything.
-People who when I say "America sucks," they assume I'm talking about EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in America, when I'm only talking about the Government.
-Canada Jokes. I'm opposed to these unless it's either over-the-top, hilarious or so dumb you can't help but laugh. "Hey! My favourite shirt! You said it was stolen by Canadians!" Eight points to whoever can guess what that's from.

Baby sit tiger cubs?
Well, people think treasure when they hear Masons is because many successful people in history were masons. So they either think that they have a large amount of treasure, or the secret they keep helps them gain financial success.

AAAAAND to get this back on topic, I think rap music is an oxymoron phrase. I dislike rap music.
