The Masons. The Illuminati. The Cub Scouts. The Cool Kids Table. The Elk
Lodge. The Hellfire Club. The Skull and Bones Society. The Frat Your Brother
Joined. The Office Football Pool. They're in it, you're not, and it really
is that simple. You may have joined one or two at the lowest levels, passed
the initiation humiliation, tried to climb a few rungs, and learned a secret
handshake or two. Then, you learned the awful truth: there are only two ways
to have real respect within the club. One involves founding the club, and the
other involves waiting until you're 70. And for those poor unfortunate
bastards that wait out their entire lives, the secret knowledge is almost
always so unbearably banal and dissappointing, your options are to lure
some youngsters into your plight or spread the word. Which works out okay;
no one believes you anyway, old-timer.
Secret clubs are a step less sinister than most secret religions; they're
in it for the same reasons (perhaps even more so), but they don't feel
the need to lie about it or come up with a backstory (most of the time).
A secret club is the purest form of secret society; they derive most of their
identity, power, and revenue from the secrecy itself. Sometimes they're
formed to accomplish a political purpose. Sometimes they're formed to bolster
egos. Sometimes they're formed because groups of people have interests they
can't share with most of society. Sometimes they're formed just for the hell
of it. And sometimes, we don't really know what happened.
These links are forged of the spite and malice generated by the needs of the
few to be cool and popular, and come from some of the most spiteful and
deranged minds the internet has ever known.
This page is in no way a retalliation against the world for my being unable
to attend Miskatonic University. Bastards.
These articles are so underground, they haven't even been written yet. But you already
have them on dvd.
