My code: if you have a formally formed "Bro Code" you have the maturity of a 15-year old. (nm) - musubi Jan 5, 13:02 13
- Way to generalize. There's plenty of 15 year olds who were more emotionally mature than 99% of people on ST/TT - Mr. Havens Jan 5, 13:11
- "Pro: his name can be spelled mububi. Con: weiner breath narc." -- nm - the pro/con list Jan 5, 13:10 2
  - You are a weird, weird, dude. (nm) - musubi Jan 5, 13:12 1
    - either you are a narc with weiner breath or a narc about weiner breath. - Reagen Jan 5, 13:13
- I know you are but what am I? nyeah. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:06
- I had room on the back of my "chicks I've banged" list in my wallet. I had to write *something* there. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 13:04 3
  - So just the front was blank then? -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 13:05 2
    - Kid, your face is blank. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 13:05 1
      - :| -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 13:06
- it's an easy call over garden implements. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:04 2
  - What is it with you and this yardword fetish? (nm) - musubi Jan 5, 13:06 1
    - or yardwork. - musubi Jan 5, 13:07
- Perchance to dream. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 13:03
my bro code: Don't do anything so stupid that I have to lie for you... for that matter, don't do anything so stupid that I have to tell the truth. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 5, 13:01
WR Hakeem Nicks delcaring for the 2009 NFL Draft -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 5, 13:01 1

David, did you get the bar code scanner from Abundatrade? - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:58 2
- No, we actually asked them about that, though. - David Jan 5, 13:00 1
  - ah, thx. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:06

I once tried to following the bro code - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:53
Top 10 film scores of the year (via ScoreKeeper at AICN, so I'll post them inside for the anti-clickers) - TFox Jan 5, 12:51 8
- Let the Right One In? Isn't that supposed to come out next year? -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:52 7
  - #5 on Robert Bell's list of Best of 2008. -- (link) - Mop Jan 5, 12:59
  - the original was out in October. - Callisto Jan 5, 12:53 1
    - and comes out on DVD on March 10. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:55
  - The remake, maybe? The original is out now in limited release, I saw it last week. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:53 3
    - You're right. The Cloverfield director is directing. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:55
    - They're remaking it? Really? -- nm - kelly - fatty Jan 5, 12:53 1
      - Yeah; I'm highly skeptical. I feel like anything done to it to make it more traditionally Hollywood will go horribly wrong. - TFox Jan 5, 12:54
My bro code: Don't talk about sex. Makes me uncomfortable. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:49 12
- "Her contact lens was on the tip of my d***!" -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:56
- Wait, *you* are the one closest to making ST feel uncomfortable the last few weeks! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 12:52 6
  - Sure. Me and my dog. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:56 1
    - That's my shtick. -- nm - kilbo s.i. Jan 5, 13:12
  - [deleted] 3
    - Yeah but a code is a code. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 12:54 2
      - [deleted]
      - I would beg to differ, but it's arguable. I think an online persona is different than an IRL persona. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:57
- [deleted]
- Yeah, I gotta say, I don't need to know when a throw down occurred. Or how it was thrown down. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:50 2
  - Especially if it was a bro-down! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 12:51
  - That's what ST's for. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:50
speaking of Twitter, apparently lots of high profile twitter accounts like Obama and Britney got hijacked. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:49
Morton salt called back. solar salt is fine in a normal watersoftener. it is only missing a few minor additaves -- nm - peglegpete Jan 5, 12:48
guys! none of you told me how funny my hair looked from walking here earlier. *dudes.* - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:46 5

  - God damn Caroline Kennedy has infected me with her y'knows. -- nm - Loyola Jan 5, 12:49 1
    - I think they call it Juventitis - Beryllium Jan 5, 12:50
- well, that's because you need to provide us with a mandycam. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 12:48 1
  - it's probably worth giving up the privacy to avoid what just happened happening again. my *goodness.* -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:51
Really, most of the bro code is covered by Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in Fast and the Furious. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:44 8
- Uh, no. Many a bro knew that FATF was trying to fucking hard to be cool and never saw it. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 12:54
- I'm so embarrassed that I still want to see tokyo drift. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:47 2
  - surprisingly good soundtrack. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:52
  - Yousure that's not out of some mis-guided loyalty/nostalgia to/for "American Gothic"? -- nm - landbeck Jan 5, 12:49
- You're a good driver. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:47 1
  - That's the subtle variation, the bra code. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:49
- I bought the "Bro Code" book, by Barney Stinson as a Christmas gift for a friend. -- nm - pmb Jan 5, 12:45 1
  - What are you saying, man? -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:50
Bro Code: If a bro is about to do something that probably should not be done, you are obliged to interject once. If he continues, so be it. - Shaun Jan 5, 12:41 1
- That works. You're his bro, not his mommy. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 12:43
LIR: Bro code: "Don't" -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 12:40
Mrs. Inigo taught her first class today. Logic class for 7th and 8th graders. - Inigo Jan 5, 12:40 3
- I challenge your m-i-l to MORTAL KOMBAT! -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:43
- if there is one thing 7th and 8th graders lack, it's logic -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 5, 12:42
- No Vulcans in the class, I hope. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:41
Bro Code: If a bro loses his man card, he is no longer your bro. -- nm - budice Jan 5, 12:39 1
- what is he, then? Your "bra"? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 12:49
psilotum, it's GAAP to defer revenue to the period in which it was earned. it's not a big IF, really. any auditor would catch an "error" there. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:39 1
- well sorta, if you are using accrual basis accounting, sure - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:49

- Somebody's got to hold the camera. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:39
Bored? Click this link to give us more page views. kiss kiss! -- (link) - Andie Jan 5, 12:37 2

Top Twitterers (based on number of followers) -- (link) - mara Jan 5, 12:34 6
- I follow 20 of those myself. - Callisto Jan 5, 12:55 2
  - I need to figure out what in the Blue Hell hashtags is. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:01 1
    - Just heard them mention this on TWiT so I googled it. Interesting stuff. -- (link) - Mop Jan 5, 13:16
- I only know who 3 of the top 20 are. Why would someone twitter twitter.com? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:46 1
  - I know 9 of the top 10, alone. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:48
- I follow five of those. That list has given me some ideas, though. -- nm - psilotum Jan 5, 12:37
I'm bummed I have to go, and will miss further Guy Code discussion. I leave you with the Alaskan exception... - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 12:29 1
- Do not pass go -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:31
Here is what befuddles me about Adam Dunn: I know the "new" MLB is more focused on defense as HR power dips post-roids. - TFox Jan 5, 12:29 12
- What charts are you looking at that his Ks aren't off the charts. From 2004-2007 he held the single-season strikeout record. *NM* - Ender Jan 5, 12:36 1
  - Ryan Howard, as an example, had more last year. So did Lance Berkman (maybe). - TFox Jan 5, 12:38
- Watch Billy Beane snatch him up. Honestly, it's starting to make me think he's not healthy. -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 12:31 3
  - Yup. I am really thinking that he has some injury issues that aren't fully known right now. - musubi Jan 5, 12:59
  - He's lost 20 lbs this offseason. No idea if that is good or bad. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:35 1
    - Could just be a hormone glitch. -- nm - Steve Jobs si Jan 5, 13:07
- The criticism that he doesn't love baseball has clearly made him damaged goods. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:30 5
  - Curious- How does this criticism manifests itself on Dunn? Is he considered out of shape or not hardworking or is he some kind of malcontent? - Diva Jan 5, 12:48 4
    - It's been rumored for a while, since he was a high-school football phenom. - musubi Jan 5, 12:58 3
      - This is right. The perception is that he's only in baseball for the money. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:06 2
        
        What I find puzzling is that this is probably true of hundreds of players, why it's become so damaging to Dunn either - musubi Jan 5, 13:10 1
        
        I did find it odd that none of his teammates jumped to his defense. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:11
Bro Code: "If a friend asks you to help move, you better have a damned good reason not to help." - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:28 16
- I don't help people move. In return, I don't asl for help when I move. I'm an adult - I hire movers. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 12:47 4
  - Yep. If I'm going to ask a guy to help me move, I expect to put out in return. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 12:51 2
    - Does this scale? - Reagen Jan 5, 12:55 1
      - I dunno, I don't have a yard. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 12:55
  - **ding** -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 12:49
- I can buy my own beer. -- nm - loosi si Jan 5, 12:46
- Unless you have helped them move within the last 6 months. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 12:45
- That being said, if beer was purposefully bought by way of gratitude for said help, then that beer better not be some awful piss brewed in the bowels - Loyola Jan 5, 12:38 2
  - On this very subject -- (link) - Reagen Jan 5, 12:40 [youtube] 1
    - heh exactly -- nm - Loyola Jan 5, 12:41
- A bro will support and defend you to your wife if you have a chance to sleep with a hot celebrity. - HdnAgnda Jan 5, 12:36
- If a girl asks you to help her move "some stuff", you're probably going to have to bring another bro. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:30 3
  - This one might be a localized one, but: "If he deserves it, you are allowed to stand back for a few minutes while a buddy loses a fight." - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:36
  - Eiffel Tower? -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:33 1
    - "I is here to fix diener cable?" -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:36
- good one. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:29
(1) What's "Abundatrade?" (2) I don't have any bros, so no bro code. (3) Slanket. - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:28 6
- Jax's bro code is one rule deep: "I'm good." -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:34 1
  - pretty much. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:38
- I'm your bro. You have bros here -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:33
- Do you remember the "trade CDs for iPods deal" a few years ago? They've morphed into Abundatrade. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:31 2
  - This could possibly be a way for us to replace our digital camera. -- nm - Amy Jan 5, 12:50
  - ah, ok. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:34
*goes to orange* -- nm - ESPN.com si Jan 5, 12:27 2
- I believed Puppycam may have been ST's first meme, but I can't be sure we can claim to "own" it. "Orange", though, is 100% ours. - Mop Jan 5, 12:28 1
  - It gets meta. -- nm - Diva Jan 5, 12:30
FYI: If any of interviews for the NY Jets job, you're fired. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:26
I use a twitter reader in my Vista sidebar. It's a little small, though, and I can't get it to scroll. - Mop Jan 5, 12:26 9
- I use Digsby for IMing, and it also updates my Facebook and Twitter feeds. Love it. -- nm - mara Jan 5, 12:28 6
  - Hmm. I'll have to try this. I enjoy integrated IM software (even though I haven't IM'd in years.) -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:30 4
    - Shit! This thing offered to install six different spywares on my PC! -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:32 2
      - Well, malware anyway. -- nm - mara Jan 5, 12:35
      - I'm pretty sure that's what the "no, don't install that crap" button is for -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 12:33
    - It also tells me when I have new email in gmail and yahoo. -- nm - mara Jan 5, 12:31
  - "oink!" -- nm - Pigby Jan 5, 12:30
- Digsby -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 12:27
- cheater! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 5, 12:27
