I Have Offended the Loyal Order of the Moose

That's right. Mooseheart, Moosehaven, Women of the Moose, they're all mad at me. You see, when I told you about Mat Benol's Congressional Kickoff on Saturday at Easton's Loyal Order of the Moose, I used a picture of Bullwinkle. One of the Loyal Moosemen let me have it.

"The Loyal Order of Moose is a fraternal and service organization dating to 1888. Their latest fund raising efforts are aimed at Haiti relief. The depiction of Bullwinkle, presumably to poke fun at a politician, is an unfortunate slight to over 1.5 million women and men who are proud to do serious good works as members of The Loyal Order of Moose."

Chastened, this is my somber reply: "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"

    I agree with Bernie. Service groups should be ridiculed.

    I guess that means you can cross them off your list.

    Oh come on Moose members- lighten up! Is it any wonder why archaic service clubs like theirs cannot recruit new members? They have chapters closing left and right. They are truly an endangered species.

    Yeah. Service clubs suck. Government solutions are always better.

    Nobody suggested that service clubs sucked. Just ones that adopt the attitudes of this group.

    Anon 10:14 am,

    Because of service clubs, I am not allowed to play a round at Sheperd Hills or White Tail. At Sheperd Hills, I hit too many houses. And at White Tail, I hit an oncoming car. My clubs were being repaired so I was forced to use my buddies clubs. I am left-handed. His clubs were righties. So I swung the backwards. Which is forwards for me.

    Anyway, I have a life-time ban at both courses because of the service clubs.

    Peace, ~~Alex

    The Moose, with their "attitude" about helping Haitians and other needy groups are exactly what we don't need around here. Bernie's right to poke fun. The Salvation Army are assholes too, right Bernie? This is fun. Those worthless f-ing Optimists with the stupid eye glass donations. Let's really open fire on the bastards! How about those little bitches with the addicting cookies? To hell with service clubs. They all have too much attitude.

    The Royal Order of Water Buffaloes thinks Moose are silly.
