Santee lodge has issued a new jacket patch in commemoration of the lodge’s 70th anniversary.     This is a large 8″ round patch and shows the various poses of the Carolina parakeet that have been used on the lodge’s patches through out its history.     The parakeet in the center of this patch is used here for the first time and may appear on a future lodge flap.

Thanks to Jason Spangler for sending me this image.

The lodge produced 200 of these patches.     Brothers were able to pre-order up to five of these pieces.   After filling the pre-orders very few remained.     These were all sold to the new Ordeal members, one per person.

"The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or to the number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig, or to the number of people who leave when they see who else has turned up.
The second nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of the most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a recipriversexcluson, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive. Recipriversexclusons now play a vital part in many branches of math, including statistics and accountancy and also form the basic equations used to engineer the Somebody Else's Problem field.
The third and most mysterious piece of nonabsoluteness of all lies in the relationship between the number of items on the bill, the cost of each item, the number of people at the table and what they are each prepared to pay for. (The number of people who have actually brought any money is only a subphenomenon of this field.)"
