Can we form a secret SS/FG fraternal patronage organization?
So I'm looking for a job for next summer (yik, I know). I find myself wishing that I was a member of the freemasons or something, until it occurs to me--Bikeforums! If we formed a SS/FG masonlike, mafiaesque, or illuminati-ish organization, we could hook each other up with jobs, assistance in our various specialty areas (beyond bikes), and secret numbers to reach the police (eg: "912"). Anybody down?

Wouldn't we need to have some influence on society first? But of course the name and symbology would be the first step. Something mysterious perhaps?

it might be hard to learn the secret handshake over the interweb.

tattoos are too conspicuous, unless you have it concealed on your ass. no one would take a secret org. seriously when theyre mooning other members. i say some secret question of some sort. i dont ahve ideas though.

carry a part of the bike with u?
like that dude who cut off his track ends and used it as a beer opener...
could be like a lil symbol representing the love for FGs and also acts as a "secret handshake"

I can hook a chicago local up with a job as a courier for the visa/passport service I work for. But, first we need to agree on a handshake.

i think the middle finger and then a hug would be a good handshake, most people would just think we're morons.

our goals are to ride bikes, eat pie, drink, and trash talk about hipsters, alleycats and play photoshop tennis...constantly. so far i'd say we're accomplishing our goals.

First we need a [vaguely sinister] name, from which we will draw our 'secret signal'; be it handshake or tat or both.
A mission we need not, except for the whole being in a freemason-esque watching out for each other thing. The world will be ours soon enough.

We could throw around a secret handshake like that photoshop tennis thread that's going around. I'll start using the previously mentioned secret handshake...
1. start off giving each other the middle finger
2. then hug.
3.

Sounds like a plan, may I suggest a spokecard that must be presented whenever asked for at the consequence of a beer and piece of pie.
