    This is the only time a non-Mormon can get to see the inside of one of them. Once they are consecrated (I think that is what they call it) you can't get in unless you are a Mormon wearring the special underwear and other requirements. Even Mormons don't get in there very often. I'm thinking of going. Any thoughts?

    I'd go for sure. See if one of them will teach you the secret handshake.

    It would be cool to check out what is so mysterious about the place. I would go, why not?

    Take some pics and post 'em here, eh. It would be interesting and I'm sure it would be allowed as they let the media do it with video cameras before it is consecrated.

    Oh, yes, and by all means .. GO! It will be an interesting experience, and hey, what bad can come of it. Just put on your "Shield of Righteousness" before you go, and the demunz can't get ya!

    Yes, I knew Simpsons was a take-off. hmm,, okay, Archie Bunker was a member of a lodge, and had a Grand Poobah,,, wasn't it the dad from Happy Days? But I don't know if that is the original.

    Hell, maybe I'm confused, cause now that ya'll mention it, I do remember Happy Days using the term also...

    but I was thinking of Fred Flintstone and the Water Buffalo Lodge.
