When the four rules are not enough or "squib happens"..........

If the government runs away from me on the 19th, I intend to. I hope he has Ale 8 too.

I'll hook you up the next time I am at Kroger...Bottles or cans???

My mother in law from Argentina loves that stuff and the last conversation we have before she hops on the plane to head up is "Get me that Kentucky Ginger Ale por favor...."

 

[indiucky]

Hey, uh, I heard Ale-8-One up thread. Where is this magical shop of indiucky's? I've only seen ale-8-one in, well, Kentucky.
And I think it might help to retrospect, are our problems with the four rules or Kirk personally? I don't want to see anybody get the hammer arguing over semantics.

Kroger carries it here in Clarksville......

I don't want to see anyone get the hammer over a beater K 22 and a squib load.....

I like Kirk's sense of humor and the way he delivers it....I figure Kirk's kind of like Monty Python humor....You either get it or you don't...

I'll have to make my way down to your shop sometime. I'll have to get some cash first though because I'm not driving two hours to go home empty handed

It's worth the drive just for the conversation. Cash is good, but the best thing to bring is a couple of hours of spare time.

It's a known fact that one cannot have a good time on the Internet. Research proves it.

Yeah, I think it was Lincoln that said that, wasn't it?

Sadly, every time I pass through there it is with a car full of children (well, three children, but it seems like a car full). Two hours at any place with them would cause wanton destruction and chaos.

IMHO, the 4 rules are absolutely good rules and primarily should always be followed. That being said, I, like Cooper himself, recognize that there are some very closely controlled circumstances in which exceptions to the rules not only can be made, but they can safely be made. The times in which those circumstances present themselves is a short list, and appropriate precautions must be followed. That doesn't negate the rules, or make them any less important, but Kirk is so emotionally attached to the issue that you would think we were suggesting just pitching all the rules out the window and having a free-for-all.

Kirk takes a more literal approach to the rules. He argues that there are never any exceptions, and remarkably, this thread is the first time he has EVER to my knowledge admitted that there are any exceptions to the rules. Why he has had a sudden change of heart I do not know. I simply disagree slightly with his interpretation of the rules. When disagreement between grown, mature adults, are not uncommon, yet they generally aren't a major issue, we all disagree from time to time. The problem is that Kirk can't just disagree with somebody, he must insult them, and put them down as an inferior person in order to "drive his point home". This baffles me, he certainly didn't act that way when he was a new member here, he used to be respectful and polite. Something has changed in him over the years. I mainly take issue with the fact that Kirk must take every single chance he gets to put down anybody that disagrees with his strict interpretation of the rules (even more strict than Cooper himself).

Indiucky let me hold his squib maker.

Re-enactments have, so I've been told, caused premature aging of Indyucky's squib maker. It ain't as good as it once was, but it's as good once as it ever was.


So I've been told.
