I’m actually not quite sure what one of these is, other than the Commies & the Unabomber (& now, uh, hipsters?) seem to have them.

So here’s my Rules to Live By:

• Be a Badass!

I repeat:

• Be a Badass!
• Be! Be! a Badass!

• Fight
• …well, not physically, but don’t stand down for what you believe in.
• Examine what you believe in.
• It’s ok to evolve, you aren’t a highly evolved organism for nothin’.

• Call people out on their shit.
• Just the facts, ma’am.
• Call people ma’am.
  (or whatever they’d like to be called, be polite)
• Call me out on my shit.
  I hold myself to the same level of accountability as I hold others.

• Follow the Rules!
• They’re meant to be Broken!

• Get enough Sleep!
• (It’s hard to Be a Badass when you’re asleep, though not impossible)

On this tack, important bed rules:

• No pants
• And most importantly...

This is a work in progress, obvs…

Here are some specific subsets I enjoy practicing:

Rules for Drinking:

1. Start Drinking
   (Repeat)

Rules for Cooking:

1. Start Drinking
2. Start Cooking
3. Pour some of what you’re Drinking in what you’re Cooking
   (Repeat)

Ask Questions!
(but do so appropriately)

• Think before you speak.
• One Question per Q&A – let others have a chance to ask!
• It’s not QuestionS and Answers
• A comment is not a question

If you are holding a Q&A:

• Have rules
• Enforce the rules
• Have a Moderator!

Oh! I forgot several important drinking rules:

• Try everything sober. (First, if at all possible)
• Not drinking may be better.
• Stop.

Do you have any?

Also, I don’t nearly drink as much as this may lead you to believe… see the above subsection on following rules!
