The Mysterious “Order of the Odd Fellows” that frankly, belongs in a Wes Anderson Movie

quote [ It’s a name that had me instantly transfixed, like something Wes Anderson had dreamt up for his next film. The Independent Order of the Odd Fellows – a secret society for … odd people? Why had I never heard of it? Never one to resist the pull of a promising rabbit hole, I would soon discover that the international fraternity I’d accidentally stumbled upon had existed for centuries, possibly longer, and at one point during America’s “Golden Age of Fraternalism”, grew larger than the Freemasons. ]

There's been several versions of a common theme of Old Bastards groups in Australia, basically Lion's who don't like being told that they can't get drunk and use swear words, but still want to get together and give money to like, children's hospitals, telling the local council that they shouldn't be cunts to the homeless, or women's rugby teams. Do a lot of good. And are often a good meeting point between groups like SES, Volunteer Fireys, Country Women's Associations, Libraries, Return Services, Churches, YMCA and so on...
