I liked Knights & Knaves, despite it's narrow focus. I was banned, and my last post was " The Birth of the USA". I tried to make the context, BOOT HILL, clear, but it did not get across. This was one of the images at my last post, there:  Of course, historically, "The Birth of the USA" was NOT the 19th century. This is something that I'd like to clarify, and, expand upon, in later posts. Prespos the Revenant |

Yeah... K&K, like many other forums, have that ol' "Stagecoach Rule" in effect: "Don’t discuss politics or religion, nor point out places on the road where horrible murders have been committed, if delicate women are among the passengers."*OK, the last part is generally ignored now. * see Stagecoach Etiquette |

Like, we have an idealized idea of "The Wild West", where it's just a game or a movie. But, fuck... man, this was actually real, once. Anyway, back to you: WELLS FARGO RULES FOR RIDING THE STAGECOACH Adherence to the Following Rules Will Insure a Pleasant Trip for All 1. Abstinence from liquor is requested, but if you must drink, share the bottle. To do otherwise makes you appear selfish and unneighborly. 2. If ladies are present, gentlemen are urged to forego smoking cigars and pipes as the odor of same is repugnant to the Gentle Sex. Chewing tobacco is permitted, but spit WITH the wind, not against it. 3. Gentlemen must refrain from the use of rough language in the presence of ladies and children. 4. Buffalo robes are provided for your comfort during cold weather. Hogging robes will not be tolerated and the offender will be made to ride with the driver. 5. Don’t snore loudly while sleeping or use your fellow passenger’s shoulder for a pillow; he or she may not understand and friction may result. 6. Firearms may be kept on your person for use in emergencies. Do not fire them for pleasure or shoot at wild animals as the sound riles the horses. 7. In the event of runaway horses, remain calm. Leaping from the coach in panic will leave you injured, at the mercy of the elements, hostile Indians and hungry wolves. 8. Forbidden topics of discussion are stagecoach robberies and Indian uprisings. 9. Gents guilty of unchivalrous behavior toward lady passengers will be put off the stage. It’s a long walk back. A word to the wise is sufficient. Prespos, 1888 AD PS. |

Leaping from the coach in panic sounds OSSM!
Like Pres said. We are so use to seeing images of the Wild West on both big and small screens that it's easy to think about it as just a filem, fantasy or game. But this was for real and not too long ago in the scheme of things.
Yee-Haw!

Hehe. There really is nothing worse than an old person (me) trying to sound hip using the modern vernacular is there? I'm told by my young friends that it means awesome? But the fiendish young scamps could be teasing me  |
