Barney Stinson’s “The Bro Code”… Legendary

I assume you lot have seen the TV series “How I met your mother“. I therefore assume you are familiar with the character Barney Stinson (played by Neil Patrick Harris), the hilarious, womanising eternal bachelor, obsessed with “suiting-up” and announcing that virtually everything is “going to be legen…dary”.

Well, he and co-author Matt Kuhn have released a book of rules and regulations known as “The Bro Code”. All the basic tenets and rules of Bro-dom have been recorded in one book, a sort of guide for Bros, if you will.

To get an idea of what it’s all about, the publisher’s description sums it up pretty well:
“Everyone’s life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this holy grail the Bro Code. Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the official code of conduct for Bros appears here in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.”

The usual “About the Author” blurb from the back page is written by the Great Barney himself:
“Barney Stinson is a handsome and available Renaissance man best known for blowing up the blogosphere with www.barneysblog.com. Barney plays 83 different musical instruments, holds the record for the most weight ever calf-pressed, has flown a fighter jet around the world blindfolded, ranks first in the world in laser tag and good looks, invented that chariot thing for crippled dogs, and currently serves on the board of a Fortune 500 company, which is why he probably won’t return your calls.

As mentioned in the above blurb, further classic reading from the noble and wise Barney can be found on Barney’s Blog. Definitely worth heading over there for a look.

There is even a Wikipedia page devoted to the character of Barney. Have a look by clicking here.

It is definitely one of the funniest books around, and I implore you to read it for those laugh-out-loud moments that virtually every page will ensure.

And I because I feel the need to share Barney’s wisdom with y’all, here are a couple of links for if you wish to get yourself a copy of this legendary tome:
