Lodge 49: A Quirky Gem Worth Discovering
Lodge 49: A Quirky Gem Worth Discovering
Have you ever stumbled upon a show that’s equal parts weird and wonderful? If not, let me introduce you to Lodge 49.
This quirky TV series follows Dud, a down-on-his-luck ex-surfer, as he stumbles upon a mysterious fraternal order called the Order of the Lynx. This peculiar group, housed in a dilapidated lodge, offers cheap beer, strange alchemical philosophies, and a sense of belonging.
As Dud dives deeper into the lodge’s enigmatic world, he embarks on a surreal journey of self-discovery. The show blends elements of fantasy, mystery, and comedy, creating a unique and captivating viewing experience.
What makes Lodge 49 so special?
* Whimsical Tone: The show’s offbeat humor and surreal atmosphere create a truly unique viewing experience.
* Character-Driven Story: The characters are quirky, endearing, and often hilarious.
* Philosophical Undertones: Beneath the surface of the show’s humor lies a deeper exploration of life, meaning, and connection.
If you’re a fan of shows like Twin Peaks or The Leftovers, you’ll likely appreciate the strange and beautiful world of Lodge 49.

We need more weird, abstract idols in the Blue Ridge Mountains instead of Confederate statues. Preferably deep in the woods where they can be stumbled upon unexpectedly. Anywhere in Appalachia, really. I really love that practically live at the middle of the Appalacian Trail, and my only complaint is that in the Jim Crow era, and again as late as the 50’s and 60’s that there was a trend to put the losers of the civil war up as segregationist response to civil rights.
Confederate monuments are often located in public places, such as in front of courthouses or capitol buildings. They can serve to symbolize power and who was in charge, rather than mourning or loss. I certainly don’t want to erase history, but I also do not wish to celebrate the lives of those who sought to hold people down, often in chains.
I think those statues could be framed as a warning rather than a celebration.

The spooky crew decided to stick around after Halloween and get us ready for the Yuletide. I always appreciate the help cleaning up. ( @maximillian_deersteak took these pics, and set em up )

Pearl helps with decorations. We may have gone a little heavy on the tinsel trees, but that is aok! At the end, Red Creech, bigfoot totem and the invisible man do a little tiny tree trimming on the side table.

Mrs got her hairs cut at Misfit Beauty Club, looks great as a darker bob.
Roanoke Morning
[Verse 1]
Sun coming up over Mill Mountain
Coffee steam curling in the cold
Blue Ridge lines like an old hymn
Folded in the valley’s hold
Kids on bikes down Crystal Spring
Church bells drifting soft and slow
Every day a simple blessing
Life here in Roanoke
[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the market to the back roads
Hear the heart of people grow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke
[Verse 2]
Farmer’s stand on Saturday
Tomatoes piled in paper trays
Old men laughing under awnings
Telling tales of better days
Freight train hum on Jefferson
Thunder on the distant stones
Even when I dream of leaving
These mountains call me home
[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the greenway to the back roads
Hear the heart of people grow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll roam
Chase some skyline
Taste a different kind of smoke (woah)
But I’ll keep a map of Star City
Folded right beside my hope
[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the sunrise on the ridge tops
To the soft new-fallen snow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke (oh Roanoke)
“The Hangman” from 1964 based on the poem by Maurice Ogden. Film made by Les Goldman and Paul Julian. “The 1964 animated short film Hangman, directed by Paul Julian and Les Goldman, is a 16.4K cautionary tale about apathy and complicity, based on Maurice Ogden’s 1951 poem. It depicts a mysterious figure erecting a gallows in a town square, systematically executing citizens while the fearful populace: remains silent, only for the narrator to realize he is next.”

@pearlsquirrel looks to be a huge fan of both @taskmaster and @rosematafeo . I don’t blame her for either.

Pearl is enjoying her relocated alpaca. She is watching me watch great British bake off.
