Fans of the hit TV series How I Met Your Mother will be happy to know that the book, Bro Code is finally in stock again. I picked up a copy the other day at Fully Booked Edsa Shangri-la.
For those not familiar with the series, the Bro Code is a compilation of written rules that bros supposedly have to follow. Barney Stinson (played by Neil Patrick Harris, yes, Doogie Howser himself), one of the lead characters of the show is the proponent of the Bro Code.
About the book, its around 200 pages long containing roughly 150 codes and a few diagrams and illustrations. I won't really try to go into the details of the codes, you'll have to read it to appreciate it, (okay, maybe appreciate is a strong word), but heck, if you have money (Php 500.00) and time to spare, go pick up the book, its worth a few laughs.
With that said, I'm listing down my favorites...

My Top 7 Bro Codes:
Article 19: A Bro shall not sleep with another Bro's sister. However, a Bro shall not get angry if another Bro says, "Dude, your sister's hot!" Corollary: It's probably best for everyone if Bros just hide pictures of their sisters when Bros are coming over.
Article 24: When wearing a baseball cap, a Bro may position the brim at either 12 or 6 o'clock. All other angles are reserved for rappers and the handicapped.
Article 65: A Bro must always reciprocate a round of drinks among Bros. Exception: A Bro is off the hook if his Bro orders a drink that arrives with an umbrella in it.
Article 95: A Bro shall alert another Bro to the presence of a chesty woman, regardless of whether or not he knows the Bro. Such alerts may not be administered verbally. (There's diagrams shown in the book on these non-verbal alerts)
Article 101: If a Bro asks another Bro to keep a secret, he shall take that secret to his grave. This is what makes them Bros, not chicks.
Article 127: A Bro will always help another Bro reconstruct the events from the previous night, unless those events entail hooking up with an ugly chick or the Bro repeatedly saying "I love you, man" to all his Bros.
Article 150: No sex with your Bro's ex.
The above list is in no particular order...and yes, I need to get myself a life.
