Ten Magnet Commandments
Sample of Rowdy's Magnets
Definitions:
- Event Magnet
- Magnet depicting a special event (ex. Exhibition, Sporting event.)
- Location Magnet
- Magnet depicting a specific location (ex. Museum, Park, City.)
- State Magnet
- Magnet depicting large geographical area (ex. State, Country.)
- Commercial Magnet
- Magnet advertising a business.
- Miscellaneous Magnet
- Magnet that does not fall under another definition.
THE TEN MAGNET COMMANDMENTS
- Magnet must be purchased on site at time of visit.
- Preference should be given to magnets produced locally.
- Preference should be given to magnets that are tacky and garish. This Commandment is subordinate to Commandment II.
- If magnets are unavailable at a location, one may be handmade with materials acquired at the location.
- A visit requires both Rowdy and Mrs. Theologian. Magnets acquired on a trip taken individually must be segregated from other magnets when displayed.
- A visit requires a return home. So a trip from the Cloister to Washington, D.C. for 2 days, then 3 days in Baltimore, back to D.C. for 4 days and back to the Cloister is considered 1 visit to Washington and 1 visit to Baltimore.
- Only one magnet of each type may be purchased per visit. So, for example, if during a visit to Washington, D.C., I make two trips to the Air and Space Museum and one trip to the White House, I could buy 1 D.C. magnet, 1 Museum magnet, 1 White House magnet, and any number or specific event magnets should there be exhibitions at the museum, but limited 1 per exhibition. Even though I visit the Air and Space Museum twice, it is still considered one visit per Commandment II.
- State magnets require a minimum stay of 24 consecutive hours in the state. That means no Oregon magnet for a 3 hour layover in Portland.
- Commercial magnets require having been a customer of advertised business at least once.
- Miscellaneous magnets are exempt from Commandment V. However, miscellaneous magnets are to be segregated from other magnets when displayed.
