As most of you know, I love the CBS show How I Met Your Mother. My love for it is so great that Meghan now watches it with me and a lot of you have gotten a season or two on DVD as gifts (mom, dad, kyle, erica, amber, zak, lisa…the list goes on).
There was an episode where Barney did something that he said violated the “bro code”. The episode was great and we learned a lot. Flash forward to another leisurely wandering through Barnes and Noble (this time with Meghan) and we see a book called The Bro Code written by the How I Met Your Mother People. Needless to say, we bought it. Immediately.
There are some pretty great Bro Rules that i will pass along to you all in the future, but for today, I’d like to give you all an excerpt from the Origin of the Bro Code so that you can know that its history.
“While the story of the bro code is not nearly as simple and elegant as God handing down some stone tablets to Broses, its origins weae all the way back to the dawn of humanity.
In the beginning there was no Bro Code…which was unfortunate for the worlds first Bros-Cain and Abel. Lacking an agreed upon set of social principles, Cain killed Abel and committed history’s first Broicide. As punishment Cain was doomed to walk the earth alone. Why? Because without a wingman, he had absolutely no chance to meet chicks.”
And thus begins the Bro Code. It’s going to be a handy education for us all to learn the right way to treat our bros. I know you are all looking forward to it.
