I am a huge fan of the CBS show, How I Met Your Mother. Somehow, it manages to take the tired idea of an ensemble cast of twenty-somethings and make it fresh again. The chemistry between characters is priceless and the writing is...wait for it...are you ready...legendary!
Followers of the show know that Neil Patrick Harris plays the womanizing character named Barney Stinson. In a couple of episodes, he references the code of conduct by which he lives his life: The Bro Code. When Barney recites an article of the Code, it's always good for a laugh. However, in the spirit of all things awesome, Matt Kuhn has released a book entitled The Bro Code that breaks down the history and individual articles of the Code in hilarious detail.
Yesterday, my wife and I each opened up an early Christmas present. You guessed it...she got me The Bro Code! How awesome is this woman? She sees to my very core of geekery and knows what it needs to thrive. I'm a lucky, lucky bastard.
I've had it for one day and have already learned valuable lessons regarding my conduct towards and around bros, dudes, and all other members of society. You'd be amazed how many people do not know the appropriate method of the exploding fist pump!
Anyway, if you're up for a good laugh, check out the show and the book. You won't regret it, except right after you click Buy on the Apple TV and suddenly own all the episodes at great expense.
So...Dori...if you're reading this. Thank you for this awesome gift. It really demonstrates how well you know me and how much you love me. The Bro Code prohibits me from publicly returning the sentiment, but...um...you're okay, I guess.
