It took me several months to notice this "Knights of Pythias" sign around the corner from my apartment. Which I found both odd and fantastic. I had imagined that many a round table meeting had been held here, likely to discuss how to finally get that dang sword out of that stone. I had also voted it the building to most likely share its name with a RUSH album. I had even decided to change the way I reply to people when they ask me where I live..."Do you know where the Knights of Pythias is? No?!? Well you should." Then I took the time to actually look up the Knights of Pythias. Apparently, they are an international fraternal order that was founded in 1864. They list the moral uplifting and purification of society as one of their objectives. What a bummer.
I guess I'm reverting back to my former response to inquiries as to where I live: "Do you watch Dog, the Bounty Hunter? Did you see the episode where Beth picks out her wedding shoes from the 'ho' store'? I live right around the corner from there."

I like the ho store explanation better anywho's, although that may just be because of my love of the dog ;)
Fantastic. But yes, quite sad when things are not what u thunk. Just the other day I saw a big CRAB cross the street, I was SO excited and felt so incredibly fortunate to have witnessed what I had thought to be an extreme rarity...Only to hear from my co-workers that just a few miles away there were so many crabs on the road that you could not HELP but run them over! :\
