Fundamental Rules of Friendship:

1) Try not be an asshole & I will try not to misunderstand. I am not a mind reader and neither are my friends.

2) Say what you mean & mean what you say. Don't be vague, coy or stupid. Again, not a mind reader...

3) Don't lie. Nobody likes a liar. I may tolerate you, but I won't like you.

4) Don't be sensitive. Breathe a little. If your feelings get hurt easily then you probably need a different set of friends.

5) Don't be a man-gina or a femi-nazi. It's not attractive at all, regardless of what I say when I'm tanked.

6) I don't want to hear over-and-over-and-over how wonderful your life is. I have issues...either create some so we can suffer as a team, or find a new set of friends.

7) Must laugh out loud! Please don't giggle. 5-year-old girls giggle. We laugh out loud! Sometimes our mouths are hanging open. Sometimes we snort. On occasion this laughing may having us running to pee...

8) Must be available for venting, 24/7. Please attempt to evenly distribute the venting requests amongst the group. One person can not be the sole recipient...because when they decide to vent, we're all screwed.

9) Be prepared to "take one for the team."

10) Goofiness is always welcomed.
