Background

The Water Buffalo Lodge is the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes' main base of operation and where all their meetings and events are held. It is a large Stone Age building whose appearance varies between episode, but is consistently portrayed as large and having a large sign up front that says the club's name. Its interior usually appears as a large auditorium or theater where the members sit and listen to the orders and schedules made by the Grand Poobah, Sam Slagheap, who stands behind a podium to instruct fellow members on the purpose of the meetings.
