Dont cry unless your dog, your parent, your lover or a child dies. Serious injuries aren’t okay, but understandable. Also okay is to cry when your sports team a) wins a great upset or b) your team loses in a great upset. – Guy rule.
If you have the biggest (HD) TV you’re hosting game night. – Guy rule.
Before you leave, throw your shit away. You don’t have to vacuum up your crumbs, but try not to spill shit everywhere. – Man rule.
What’s all this hooey?
Everything else is just background noise.
On a related note, I started this thread on the Taxonomy of Manliness- seems relevant here. What is the relationship between men, guys, dudes, etc…
nevermind
Man rule: Never touch another man’s hat. From the movie Wild Bill
Guy rule: Don’t ever tell your wife that her sister’s titties are bigger than hers.
Absolutely; people who don’t know this cause about 110% of all problems between the sexes. This rule goes double for any woman involved with any friend.
Gee. Thanks. :rolleyes:
I have two kids, ages 8 and just-turned-six-today. I always subscribe tot he above rule, but really, it’s humbling when the then-five year old beats everyone handily at dominoes his very first try, and all subsequent tries. And then, today, for his birthday, we go out bowling (5-pin bumper bowling (meaning the bumpers are up to prevent gutter balls. IMHO it makes it harder because contact with the bumpers sends it on an unknown angle meaning you’ll never know where it will hit. Five pin, well, you’ll have to be Canadian to know what that is) and my 8 year old daughter ties with her mom for the best score (110) and my six year old son beats my ass (83 to 79) and, in the spirit of “constructive criticism of judging abilities”, he’s one of the worst bowlers I’ve seen! Do you remember that scene in the Simpsons where Mr. Burns bowls by lightly pushing the ball which takes forever to roll down the lane? I witnessed that personally in real life this afternoon. 30 times in a row. And he beat me.
I think I’m going to cry now.
Take care of your kids. Man Rule.
If it still hurts, go see a damn doctor. Man Rule
Don’t pick up chicks in a bar after 12:30 AM Guy rule. Mainly observed in the breach, which in turn eventually leads to wisdom. Of the hard-earned kind.
Suck it up and take it like a man. – Guy rule.
Man Rule: A properly dressed man wears a hat outside.
More specifically, that’s and Old Man Rule, akin to “Get off my lawn”.
“A hat should be taken off when you greet a lady and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat.” - P.J. O’Rourke
This is why O’Rourke must be punished. As soon as I successfully cross Ann Coulter and Nancy Grace he shall be forced to mate with said monstrous hybrid.
If you catch a fish, do your best to land it - Old Man and the Sea rule.
