An Attempt at Classification
Here’s an ongoing list of the types of Freemasons I’ve run into:
1. The Esoteritrician – Interested in the philosophy and the deeper side of things. Easily distracted by tomes.
2. The Machiavellian – Interested in playing politics, and the manipulation of others.
3. The Rule-Monger – The Mason who will use any rule they can find, from Robert’s Rules of Order to Grand Lodge Code to get their way.
4. The Funarian – Most interested in Shrine, often a Freemason only because it’s a requirement of Shrine membership.
5. The Doppelganger – (a.k.a. the Career Ruiner) This is the most insidious kind of person attached to the fraternity. While they appear to be a Brother, they will stab you in the back when your guard is down.
6. The Hero – This is often a true Brother that is unpretentious, and genuinely happy to see you.

This is the reason for my post today. I came across this little website and thought that it was done in the spirit of what we hold dear at The Setting Maul.

I realize that some of you may be saddened that I don’t have any tomes on Uncle Al. It would be cost prohibitive however, since I’d probably need to torch the book after reading them lest I become tainted.
Oh, and here’s a clue on the Utah Connection:
