What is the Knighthood of BUH?

     The Knighthood of BUH is a nationally recognized non profit humor-oriented organization that finds unique and exceptional people, and lets them do the crazy and unorthodox things that they would never get to do otherwise. We are a collection of individuals that provide the opportunity for people to break social norms as well as lighten up a world that seems to have a habit of taking itself a little too seriously.

What Is Our Purpose?

     The purpose of our activities is simply to amuse both the world and ourselves, as well as make people think outside of the box, or "la caja," by breaking social norms. We are often asked "What are you trying to say?" We are saying nothing. We are simply practicing comedy in its purest form. Unfortunately, in our commercial world, humor appears almost exclusively as sugar coating for the propaganda an interest group of some sort wants you to swallow. Although some people will always find "messages" in whatever we do, we will continue to avoid these misinterpretations.

     Among its members, however, the Knighthood is about more than just comedy. It is about being an individual, and thinking for yourself. A lot of the time, it is easier to feel the way a movie wants us to, or to think all the things our frat brothers do than it is to generate our own emotions. It seems the world is a place for being the guy next to you. The Knighthood is about being you, about thinking for yourself, and about believing what you have decided is believable, not simply what your parents or your pastor told you. It is about creativity, but not creativity as your third grade teacher meant it, which is to say bright colors and lots of glitter, but creativity in the true and not-so-easy-to-have sense of the word - divergent thinking.

What Does "BUH" Mean?

     The first thing you should know is the pronunciation of the aforementioned word. It is pronounced "BUH," like book, but without the k, and not like butt without the double t. The pronunciation is onomatopoeia for the sound of a fist hitting flesh. Try it out yourself! Punch yourself in the chest right now, and listen to the noise it makes! "BUH!" BUH is much more than onomatopoeia, however. "BUH" has come to stand for anything that is violently funny, or just cool in an unorthodox way.

Who is behind all this?

     While most of our activities are the results of the efforts of the group as a whole with no individual credits or praises, if you are really looking to point some fingers, our officers page is a good place to start. They can also answer any questions you might have about their particular departments.
