All Shriners are Masons... but not all Masons are Shriners

The title is just a teaser...I won't give too much else away...if you want more info, check out the "Shriner Primer". Yes, it's one of those evenings when I really need to need to log off and pick up a good book. Instead, prompted by this 1920's Shriner (I mean Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) ring I am skimming through the primer. And so, when I should be admiring the feeling of delicate masculinity that the ring gives off, I am intrigued by the fact that Kris Kristofferson is a (you guessed it) Shriner. Yes, it's definitely time to log off...
