Off Your Rocker Series, New Corp Policies say NO MORE CACHES - Redux

[+flask]

 

Would love to, Vinny, but I'm currently out being a chump. Catch me at the next Cracker Barrel... I'll be the one wearing a black TB shirt and buying maple sugar candy!

 

(See, I happen to like Cracker Barrel. They have good coffee, cheap breakfasts, and some of them still have caches, too!)

 

this is an affront to right-thinking people everywhere (bolding mine).

 

it is not possible to buy proper maple candy in any cracker barrel on the planet and the mere suggestion that one might buy wretched imitations gives me the heebie-jeebies.

 

everyone with any taste at ALL knows that one does not stoop to put any such a thing in one's mouth.

 

proper maple candy is not only PURE MAPLE, but it is unblended and from one sugarbush ONLY.

 

to look for maple candy at a -retch- cracker barrel is equivalent to looking for proper brioche at dunkin' donuts or an acceptable order of unagi at long john silver's.

 

added to that we have the complete collapse of good taste inherent in the tawdry displays of down-hominess and overpriced cheap country-style claptrap and you have a cultural disaster of the first magnitude.

So Flask, tell us how you really feel about it.

... The Crapper Barrel is a bad restaurant with a horrible theme. The thought of having to visit one to get a smiley horrifies me and causes me to twitch, me ears peal back and a guttural groan eminates from within.

I bolded the part of your post where you went sideways, in my opinion. Like many people in these forums, you seem to believe that the mere fact that a cache is published requires you to go log it. That sort of thinking can only lead you to unhappiness.

I for one WILL NOT miss these things at all!!!!!! We have done a few and more times than not you end up staring in the face of some clueless people tring to eat their meal in peace. If people love placing caches near C.B. so much put them out in the parking lot.

I think that you might be misunderstanding Cracker Barrels entire theme. You see, the reason that the junk is on the porch is so people can check it out. People routinely hang out on the porch while waiting for their turn at the nastiness that CB serves. When you are seated in Cracker Barrel, you know full well that there is very likely going to be people wandering about on the porch. Edited January 21, 2009 by sbell111

I have now accepted the reality of the side issue -- post #52 -- I brought up. I'm still not sure that the archived but extant cache is "new" but accept that the cache will not be unarchived and re-listed. Thanks to all for their comments.

Sorry, flask, but I'm the right-thinking person, as a conservative... you're a liberal, so you're left-thinking. And hey, you might not think I have any taste, but if I gave you the heebie-jeebies, then I'm a happy, tasteless person.

 

Thanks for making my day.

And the reality is that if a number of members of this community, including myself, did not support this site to the tune of about $30 per year, then the likelihood is that this "free" forum would not exist. And so, that is one way in which I was grateful that I do support this site.

Actually, I am sending this post in order to bump this topic, because this thread on Cracker Barrel caches is the most urgent, most important, most earth-shaking and most relevant thread ever to appear on the Groundspeak forum, and it shall remain so for all time, for no other topic in the world can ever be as important as this most urgent and timely matter. In fact, I strongly suspect that if Cracker Barrel does not relent soon and reinstate permission for geocache placements, the the first signs of End Times will appear and then the world will shortly come to an end.

I agree with sbell. I often thought the best time to do an OYR cache was when the restaurant was busiest. You could be checking out that old washtub or that pot bellied stove on the porch and no one would give a second thought. And I don't see why people inside would care what you're doing. They'd be so busy trying to play that silly peg game they wouldn't even notice you. BTW, if Cracker Barrel's lawyers were so afraid of the liability if someone got hurt looking for a cache, why do they still have that stupid peg game? Surely someone is going to put one of those pegs in their mouth and choke on it. They should get rid of those before they get sued.

no, as i have mentioned perhaps dozens of times before, i have a great deal of difficulty with right/left coordination as well as some problems with pain and therefore omit capital letters under informal circumstances.

 

i have, however, left instructions that if i ever use one of those smilie things someone is to come out to my house and shoot me execution-style.

 

in terms of communication, i rely on my general skill with the language and my impeccable use of punctuation to carry my meaning across.

 

edit to add: i think maybe you meant to mention the "shift" key rather than the "caps lock"; I CAN USE THAT JUST JUST FINE.

Begging your pardon, those where the dozens of posts that I haven't read yet. No ill will intended. I only mentioned the "caps lock" because of the left shift key that resides underneath it.

 

Perhaps I could offer you a free shipment of maple sugar candy I recently purchased from a local Cracker Barrel to mend any fences that may have been damaged in this exchange?

Hey I can play the peg game online. And there are no pieces to choke on (unless the Shift Key comes off my keyboard ). That should keep me busy enough to not be back before this thread gets locked.
