Parking ticket question

a) Paying for booze at full price makes one less adult like (based oh his sarcastic statement)
b) The alternative to paying for booze at full price (and still drinking) is to sneak in your own
c) Therefore sneaking in booze results in one being more adult like

He was definitely implying that sneaking in booze is what grown-ups ought to do.

Well that's a deductive argument, which are usually only acceptable when they involve something empirical. Regardless, I think your logic is still flawed.

Asserts that paying absurd prices for alcohol reflects an increase in one's maturity level.

Asserts that he believes paying for booze doesn't really reflect a high maturity level either

No where in that post does he say that sneaking in booze is adult-like. It's not even implied. I think the only thing you can safely say is implied in that post is that neither action is related to one's maturity level.

I genuinely felt bad. I didn't even realize it was a handicap stall. That alone has to make me a horrible human being.

Yet the bigger issue is the morality and child-like nature of me sneaking in a flask.

That is very odd.

What's actually being lost here, is this thread is not in fact about you at all, but rather about Crusader parking illegally.

I thought we already established that he was a criminal and should be punished to the fullest extent, nay, past the fullest extent of the law.

WTF are you talking about?
What does my reply to a post from Rube, that was replying to a post from me have to do with you or squiggs?

Yes! He should be burned at the stake!

Fair enough, but one usually doesn't use sarcasm to comment on one's maturity level unless they believe themselves to be superior. So Cecil makes no explicit statements about what he actually thinks about the statment, but I don't think it's too far of a leap to try to figure it out.
I'll grant it's a bit of a stretch, but I stand by it.

In any case, I still stand by my position that someone who is sneaking booze into the saddledome, should probably reserve judgment on the maturity level of people who pay for their booze instead.

So if Cecil gets caught sneaking his flask in? Does he have to pay a fine? What if he takes swigs of it in a handicapped stall in the bathroom?

And I'm standing by my statement that I'm cheap and refuse to pay full price for liquor at sporting events. According to my Scottish heritage, that makes me more adult than anyone.

Rube commented that my logic was flawed.
I said I disagreed and walked him through my thought process.
What does that have to do with squiggs?

But if everyone did that than the Flames couldn't afford to spend to the cap, causing them to be a loser team and eventually the team would be forced to relocate to Winnipeg.

No, it just means you're probably a dirty ginger!

To actually offer the OP some assistance , I got exactly the same ticket once (at 1:30 AM by Harbour City) - the street was completely empty and I parked in a random spot, and didn't notice the blue sign in the dark because it was high up. I was some kind of pissed to get a ticket, considering every other parking spot on the street was empty. The City knocked it down to $30 for me when I phoned and whined to the parking prosecutor.

Umm, maybe because the whole premise of the discussion involved squiggs statement? The fact this has to be explained to you is likely a major contributor to your incredibly flawed logic.

I thought the part where drinking enough hard liquor to get drunk was a normal and expected part of going to a hockey game was an interesting assumption. Some of us go for the hockey, cheap liquor is available in a wide variety of venues.

You do realize it's actually quite possible to enjoy hockey and drinking together, right?

So if one were to sneak in a flask of scotch to the Heritage Classic game, where would the best (least uncomfortable) location be? Will they be patting people down? I highly doubt it but thought I'd ask.

If you have cowboy boots a flask down the side of each is a good move. Always makes the line for Nashville North more enjoyable.
