The seller is probably going nuts right now!

I will continue my quest.

Ah, The Fez!

Still though - eternalized on Youtube...just imagine it!

On the bright side, look at how much money you saved.

Now we get to watch that locket ring for 9 days.

John,

I think that they will appreciate this gift. I sure appreciate your generousity....

Maybe this will be the one thing that moves forward the idea of expanding the IHQ building to include, among other things, a museum.

They will have The Fez, now they need to provide The Fez with a good home.

If The Fez makes an appearance at the Centennial General Assembly, I think that you need to wear it so that we can all reflect in its glory!

Mike I just realized that one of your new brothers from Miami (Oh) dropped by Ohio State this afternoon. Was initiated this past winter, the new High Kappa. Very nice guy, cannot recall his name off the top of my head. They had just finished with finals last week, and was wondering around campus with some friends of his.

Informed him that he and his chapter were welcome here anytime, especially if they wanted to do a retreat here.

Brothers,

Maybe the outcome of The Fez auction was as it was intended to be by the fates. I just re-read the eBay description of The Fez and noted that The Fez is 22 inches in diameter.

This fact motivated me to grab a tape measure and check my head size... Wow, 24
inches!

Ah Ha!

A revelation. I need The Big Fez!

So now my Quest has been expanded to include a 24 inch diameter Lambda Chi Alpha Fez!

I believe this to be a much more difficult Quest.

Is the True The Fez actually still out there to be discovered?

Ah, The 24 Inch Fez!

If The 24 Inch Fez comes up on eBay, I will put down my biggest money!

No second guesses.

You are all forewarned....

Yours in ZAX,

Mike, "Big Head," Raymond,
ZU-Zeta

Come on now brother Mike,

I wish you would have won that Fez, then maybe you would have backed off this ring so I could have a shot at it...........So.........as glad as I am that Brother John got it......I was secretly hoping for you to maybe take some pressure off the ring coming up.......oh well I guess I will just have to think of another plan........and cash in on some stock options

I wanted that bad when I got notice of it a day or two ago.

I saw you were bidding so I'm not...

I wouldn't have set that on fire, but I would have it cleaned and
resized :-)

Were you tortured by a fez wielding individual as a child?

First off Congratulations to Brother John G!

Condolences to the other bidders!

Now, if there was a true place to display the many items within IHQ confines.

Many know there is a treasure trove of artifacts that need to be cataloged and shown. The small amout in the cases just inside the front doors is very small in comparison to what is there.

But for those of us who have been able to see it, find it a lot smaller than it looks on IHQ Site along with the many others that are in the area. While there is extra land, it would be expensive to expand on.

So, the question arises, where is it best to spend the funds that are available?

Expansion of land or The Brotherhood?

At the very least it needs to all be photographed and logged in
case it is ever lost in <choke> a fire. Hard to substantiate the loss
of a $500 fez when you can't prove you had it in the first place.

I don't think expansion is even an option considered by HQ. Too
much money...not enough gain (maybe visiting alumni would
donate, but a UG will be mad at the expense because he doesn't
give a crap...yet)

Exhibit in the Jedi Archive perhaps?

Sorry Brother B. but I am sure lost on this post along with others!

Yes, an UG can and would care if He was able to visit IHQ and walk around and see what is there!

Granted, not enough for sure, but is a mecca to visit!

Have you been there?

You are too old to understand my references. I am too impatient
to explain them most of the time. Search Wikipedia for the following
terms: Jedi, Jedi Archives.

- This is a reference to INSURANCE.
- This is also a reference to the ebay fez as well and it's cost. No one
would believe a stupid looking hat cost that much money unless it is
documented and insured! It burns - it's gone. We lose.


A UG won't care because UG's can't get to Indiana unless they are
at Valpo or Butler. If it's just in boxes in a basement, it's all junk.
It needs to be sorted and categorized. Explainations need to be put
on items that may be ambiguous.

I've never been to HQ. I'll never go. If I want to see random junk in
a basement I'll go to mine.

If they get it set up where you don't have to pilfer through it or
search to figure out what stuff is and where it came from - I'm there.
Until then, UGs won't go...and I'm betting they aren't really wanted.
I'm sure they'd just say we'd get in the way or break something.
