Oppositional Groupings and Secret Orders

Easily the most understood of groups secreting themselves away from direct observation, The League fashions itself after Minoan Craft Ritual, Fornication Timetables and late-style arithmetical pant-fashions -- at least in so much as the latter represents a conquering fashion, a being made of spaces between fingers five --- and in that failure is a layer of experience, as the Hand too removes sensation.

As such, The Gloved have been seen as a Gnostic group, rejecting perception as tainted, untrue, a source of suffering. Fashionable group of Poets and wayward mystics seemingly gathered to harrass the establishment, the revolution, the avant-garde and especially The League of Gnomes. Famous for their Massive Dinner Send-Back of 1955 at Ryan O'Donnely's Ribhouse and Honkytonk.

Organizational Structure


The League is composed of three grades: Greenhorn, Crack Stepper and Holy Man/Woman. Each grade involves a ritual progressively entitled "Running the Gauntlet," "Taking the Gloves Off," and "Throwing Down the Gloves."

Publications


Hand Pants: How Gloves Make the Man, rare poetical grimoire.

Crack Stepper Jack, the Untold Story Told, scathing indictment of disbarred member Cleo James Thurstunwell.

Lollipop Enclave, collection of essays on Post-Utopian Theory.
