My son Isiah just found out about Rosicrucians and the Georgia Guide Stones and posed an interesting question for a five year old. (Yeah! he must be the milkman’s) In order to rebuild the world after the result of global earthquakes,floods and massive forest fires due to solar flares on 12-21-2012, where will the post apocalyptic engineers congregate? According to a map we saw the Mississippi will be hundreds of miles wide. No St.Louis,Mo(my hometown) but Kansas City will still exist. Whether you believe or not, where do we hook up man? Isiah calls them Roseycoochies. Forgive him father he know not what he say! Lets hope there are some of them left too.

The Rosicrucians? I think you’ve got them mixed up with the Aztecs.

All I know about the Rosicrucians is that they’ve got an OK Egyptian museum in San Jose.

No, no, the Rosicrucians are the ones who wear red fezzes and drive little cars in parades and worship the Devil.

I thought that was the best behaved Shriner’s convention that the Edmonton Holiday Inn had ever had?

Just wait 'til the December 2012 convention. It will be so well-behaved that your sense of respectful appreciation will bleed out your eyes and every pore and then turn into acid.

As odd as this is, it still seems to be an actual question with an answer. It is certainly not a debate.

If the Rosicrucians have actually published their meeting place, somewhere, we can wrap this up as a General Question, but it we’re simply going to have to accommodate specualtion and lame jokes, it probably belongs in IMHO.

Off it goes.

No, for our purposes here (i.e., fun with scaremongering), let’s stick with the Aztecs. More bloodier.

It should be noted that [there are several groups which claim to be ‘the’ Rosicrucians](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2225/what-is-rosicrucianism-all-about). All in all though, where will “the Rosicrucians” be meeting after the imaginary 2012-doomsday?  
Anywhere they want, I guess? Do Holiday Inns have convention centers?

I wasn’t making a lame joke, I was making an obscure song reference. Technically, not even a song reference, but instead a reference to the singer’s patter before the song, which is a separate track on the CD.

So there.

I’ve got it, the Rosicrucians are the ones who drink the blood of gentile babies on Yom Kippur! Or is that on Passover? Anybody know?

No, no, Basin Street is the street where the elite always meet. (Baby blood goes well with beignets.)

You have to be a 32nd degree Freemason, like myself, to become a Shriner. Get your facts straight before you post ridiculous comments like that. And for your information, There is no devil worship going on.
