Why do I even bother

So I was hanging around with my buddies last night (all primarily straight single males). They decided to start reading aloud from Neil Patrick Harris's book "The Bro Code".

One of the Rules in the Bro code is "A bro shall deny any and all knowledge of Broadway"

I responded with wait Neil Patrick Harris has appeared on Broadway though.

Their response "Doesn't matter"

Me- But Neil Patrick Harris has hosted the Tony awards... many times.

Them- "Doesn't Matter"

Me- But Neil Patrick Harris is a long time relationship with David Burtka who is a broadway actor

Them- "Still don't matter"

Me- exasperated sigh

Don't you start shiny or I'll link the article in which NPH came out of the closet publicly. Don't test me I'll do it.

Coming out of the closet has nothing to do with it. Neil Patrick Harris = EPIC WIN, which makes anything he says ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

Still, that conversation you had with your buddies is pretty hilarious.

I have a theory, and you can call me crazy, berate me, or stone me to death for blasphemy if you want, but once I'm bloody mess of pulp on the cobbled road please take a moment to consider it, but I think that NPH has a pretty healthy sense of humor and may have written that book at least partially to mock 'bro' type people.


To be fair, I assume the book's intentionally frat-boy-masculine and not meant for actual advice on being a proper gentleman. You know, like Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.

Don't get me wrong the book is hilarious, mainly because it characterizes me as a bro because I can set up my other bros with chicks, and help them look good while doing it. But still so much denial.

It seems appropriate to mention this. I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard at SNL.

When I saw this sketch I almost peed myself laughing. Make sure you don't let shiny see it, I'm sure he'd actually die of laughter.

"The Bro Code" is from How I Met Your Mother. It's Barney's rules for how guys act around women. Barney is the womanizing character NPH plays on TV.

What really cracked us up more than anything was the "shifty eye" he kept giving Seth. It's the classic gay check-out. It was the subtle stuff that he nailed.

"I'll buy anything if it's shiny and made by Apple."

That pretty much sums up their fanbase.

Which I never really understood. It's like an omelet pie. I like omelets, I like pit therefore, together they must be awesome.

Well, someone made a comedy book titled that in the 80s. These days it'd just be a silly list on the internet.

(Also, quiche got singled out because it was served at fancy parties and had a silly-sounding name, basically.)

To be fair, that one's liable to get smashed to smithereens by the first bedheaded teenager with a sword to come along, if past such inventions are any indication.
