Benevolent Order of Antelopes

Benevolent Order of Antelopes A service group that strives for mediocrity. An “if we can be bothered” attitude.

04/09/2024

Welcome indifferent Antelopes, and those who can’t be bothered to join. This week will be our 139th BOA meeting, and unlike the last 2 meetings, which were pretty much a total disaster, we have a hint of an agenda. Meeting starts precisely at the sound of the air raid siren. Those wanting to learn more about our long and rich history, or are interested in membership, check out the website. www.boombababoa.org
Following the meeting, will be celebrating our lack of achievements with fine ci**rs and premium to***co, if you wish to join us. Smoking jackets and fancy hats encouraged, per stereotypes. Below are the minutes from the 3/14/24 meeting.

Meeting Notes - Benevolent Order of Antelopes
Date: March 14, 2024
Attendance:
MEH: Jeff Smith
ASS: Nolan Streitberger
NAGS: Tara Smith, Karmel Curtis
Members Present: 4 (Too many for a productive day)

Approval of Minutes: Last month's non-existent minutes were begrudgingly approved, as no one could be bothered to contest them.

New Members: We begrudgingly welcomed three new members into our fold, because apparently, misery loves company. Nolan was promoted to ASS, as he mistakenly sat in the chair reserved for the ASS.

Online Recruitment Campaign: Some poor soul had the misguided ambition to launch an online campaign to recruit new members. We'll see if anyone even bothers to respond.

Stand By Me Day Pie Eating Competition: As per our civic obligations stated in the bylaws, we were reminded of the impending Stand By Me Day Pie Eating Competition on July 23rd, where our attendance has been requested. Members who are unable to muster an excuse are expected in full BOA regalia.

Pioneer Picnic Car Show: A request was made to design a poster for the Pioneer Picnic Car Show. As nobody could come up with excuse not to help, it was reluctantly decided that we at least put in minimum effort.

General Disinterest: The level of apathy in the room was palpable, with members barely managing to lift their eyelids long enough to acknowledge we didn’t have an attendance sheet. Nolan was to blame for lack of preparedness.

General Complaining: Per the rules of a service club, we spent most of the meeting complaining about other service clubs, and continued the BOA tradition of not getting involved.

Closing: With a collective sigh of indifference, the meeting was adjourned.

Next Meeting: Our next riveting gathering will be on April 11, 2024, at 7:07 ish, because apparently, we have nothing better to do. Meeting officially starts at the sound of the air raid siren.

We are begrudgingly meeting at 7:07.

Behold Antelopes and future Antelopes, we’ve done a thing. Major progress goes against or commitment to indolence, but on occasion must commit to change. We have scraped together a trove of information and relics from our near 130 years of clandestine service. As our numbers had been in steep decline since the incident of 1959, which we do not talk about, it was decided to offer a rare glimpse into our exertion or lack thereof in hopes of drawing renewed interest. Prepare to be mildly amazed!

The Order has voted unanimously to participate in Brownsville’s annual celebration of the beloved film, Stand by Me. There was even mild enthusiasm amongst the Antelopes, which is more than usual. We will of course adhere to our 2024 motto, “We put the Me in Mediocrity”, and not exert ourselves.

The BOA inducted its first new member in almost 65 years. Brother Jeff completed the initiation process, and presented his Fez for final inspection. Approval was unanimous. He also stated his intent to run for officer, per the bylaws. After he presents his case, the BOA will take a vote to approve or deny at the next meeting. If we can be bothered. Let’s give a hearty Boom-ba-ba-boom to our newest member. His photo will soon be hung at the meeting hall with the other member photos.

Good news! One of our Antelopes couldn’t sleep this morning and knocked out an unofficial poster for this year’s 137th Pioneer Picnic. Another coffee fueled spark of caffeine induced creativity. Now if only we could be bothered to print it.

In partnership with jankybirdtattoo, the BOA is proud to present an all new bootleg Stand by Me walking tour map. Our eyesight isn’t getting any better, so we went full poster. It’s a super inconvenient size for walking around town, especially if you’re not trying looking like a tourist. Not sorry. We incorporated a vintage map of Brownsville instead of a current map, just to make it extra confusing. Great if you love history, irritating if you’re lost, as many street names have changed and roads have been removed. Still not sorry. As Janky Bird is the meeting location of the BOA, many historical club artifacts and photos can be found there, with more on the way. Boom-ba-ba-boom.
