B). I've always wanted to be in a secret society.
C). I totally want this H.R. Giger "Emblem for a Secret Society Ring."
D). I hate meetings, so it don't actually want to be in a secret society - I just want the ring and the mysterious prestige.

ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS
An excerpt from Dick Proenneke's 1968 experience of living alone in the Alaskan wilderness. He documented his life there with a movie camera; he hand-made everything he needed: his cabin, his food, and many of his tools. It's fun watching him make stuff:

Salangome Imports is one of the few places you can buy a decent reproduction of an Amazonian shrunken head (known as a tsantsa). Perfect for any rear-view mirror.

GREAT KUNG FU FILMS (part 2)
"THE 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN"
(a.k.a. – “The Master Killer” or “Shaolin Master Killer”)
Director: Liu Chia-Liang
Starring: Gordon Liu
Awesomeness: secret Shaolin Kung Fu training
Released: 1978
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrRUgLzhuJHF6o5Dk6nLw5dossrW32d86qNhofndODaEgra95qJJ39akfBgyvoM9JgKZMiUhxBgmKzeyka2666KhRGDqFtE5d_nB5a58X78gdf2T-COzPWKBcAHE6XQDeDmtS0bxqnmJSN/s320/The+36th+Chamber+of+ShaolinAA.jpg)
San Te is a student and rebel conspirator, working against the Manchu government. Manchu officials kill a number of San Te’s classmates and family members; on the run, he flees to the Shaolin Temple. After a year wait, San Te is admitted into Kung Fu training, where he graduates through each of the 35 “chambers” of Kung Fu training: each is a challenge that strengthens his body and hones his fighting skills. He returns to his community to seek revenge against the local Manchu government and to train his people to defend themselves with Kung Fu. This Shaw Brothers classic is often considered one of the greatest Kung Fu films of all time.

And the olfactory bonus round: a maple syrup candle. I hate scented candles (Hell probably smells like scented candles), but this candle has maple syrup in it and it makes your home smell like a pancake house (or Vermont).
Combining the two = "The Livingroom of Eternal Breakfast."

GREAT KUNG FU FILMS (part 1)
If you ever plan to create an epic collection of Kung Fu films, the following is certainly on the list:
"ENCOUNTERS OF THE SPOOKY KIND"
(a.k.a. - "Spooky Encounters")
Director: Sammo Hung
Starring: Sammo Hung
Awesomeness: Zombie Kung-Fu; Sammo Hung doing "Monkey Style" Kung Fu
Released: 1980
The wealthy Master Tam is sleeping with the wife of his employee Bold Cheung (Sammo Hung) and decides to put an end to the affair. . . and an end to Bold Cheung. He frames Cheung for the murder of his own wife, and he hires the wizard Chin Hoi to kill Cheung through dark supernatural means. Tsui, the wizard brother of Chin Hoi, comes to the aid of Cheung – teaching him the secrets of protection from the undead controlled by Chin Hoi. Cheung endures the supernatural challenges set before him, evades the police, and comes to realize that his employer Master Tam is behind all of this. In the final battle, the wizards Chin Hoi and Tsui struggle to determine who is the most powerful, and Cheung battles adversaries with an epic display of Monkey Style Kung Fu. A good combination of humor, storyline, and Kung Fu action.
