This is a collection of rules that every man should live by. It originated in an article written by Maxim, but with some help from the valet boys (Vaida & Dodds) and now the guys at Mifflin, they have become law. The rules are to be followed at all times. They can be changed but that requires a majority vote.

1. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever! Unless you actually marry her.

2. When questioned by a friend's girlfriend, you need not and should not provide any information as to his whereabouts. You are even permitted to deny his very existence.

3. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 24 hours.

4. A best man's toast may not include any of the following phrases, "down in Tijuana", "one time when we were all piss drunk", or "and this girl had the biggest rack you ever saw".

5. You may exaggerate any anecdote told to your friends by 50% without recrimination, beyond that anyone within earshot is allowed to yell out "bullshit!". (exception: when trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration is 400%)

6. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

7. The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another man is 5 minutes. The maximum is 6 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.

8. Bitching about the brand of free beverages in your buddy's refrigerator is fo...

A Mandarin Tiger is an animal that currently has only resided around the area of the Bergen Catholic High School. It is a creature that can appear anywhere, at any time. In order to be seen, a class must will its existence by exclaiming "What is that?" It can appear in any color, though usually orange or white, and has unlimited powers and characteristics. One of its common traits is that it can fly, fit into small spaces, and be invisible.

Many of these creatures have been spotted in the air, on the ceiling, in parking lots or in blinds. The Mandarin tiger phenomenon began in Room 22, Mrs. Garsia's classroom, though it is not limited to that area. These mystical creatures have only been studied for a brief period of time. In the future, however, students hope to fully harness the power of these amazing creatures.

The first ever sighting of this mystical creature was made on May 1st 2006, by professional beast specialists Ray McCourt, Robert Wallum, Chris Thaureaux, and Anthony Iorio. The resident expert on mystical creatures was on the scene as well, named Adrian Jordan. As soon as he saw the unknown figure inside the treeline next to the Bergen Catholic football field, he immediatley identified it as the Mandarin Tiger. The Mandarin Tiger was first spotted at Bergen Catholic High School in Room 22 outside the window and later on the ceiling. This sighting tragically caused Mrs. Garsia, the math teacher, to close the blinds. Though the tiger was out of sight, Neil...

THE TRUE DEFINITION OF PUNK.

A Punk Manifesto by Greg Graffin

I have never owned a record label, nor directed a successful merchandise company, so I don't pretend to be an expert on marketing. I have evolved through my craft as a songwriter, but others have labeled it and marketed it and made it neat for consumption.

Although I have made money from Punk, it is a modest amount when one considers the bounty that has been bestowed on the companies that promote Punk as some sort of a product to be ingested. It has always been my way to de-value the fashionable, light-hearted, impulsive traits that people associate with Punk, because Punk is more than that, so much more that those elements become trivial in the light of human experience that all punkers share.

Since it has been a part of me for over half of my life, I think the time has come to attempt a definition, and in the process defend, this persistent social phenomenon known as Punk. It is astounding that something with so much emotional and trans- cultural depth has gone without definition for so long, for the roots of Punk run deeper, and go back in history farther than imagined.

Even in the last two decades, it is difficult to find any analysis of the influential effect that Punk Rock had on Pop Music and youth culture. And rarer still are essays detailing the emotional and intellectual undercurrents that drive the more overt fashion statements that most people attribute to Punk. These are some of the w...

A theoretical, invisible master key of technology, attached to a company's computer network, that keeps all of it's technology running smoothly and seamlessly. It is usually possessed by a single IT system administrator and is automatically disconnected when it's owner is out sick or on vacation, thus ensuing immediate system failure. It's existence has never been proven, and much like a black hole's vacuum of light, is only visible by it's surrounding aura of destruction and chaotic effects.

The code by which each and every man must and will follow. The code is for a man’s eyes only; any woman found guilty of reading the guy code will no longer be communicated with by any member of the male gender, unless rated an 8 or higher on the official scale of hotness, and offering a sexual favour for every rule she has read. Any man found breaking the guy code will no longer be considered a man for the next 24 hours. This includes no sex, no beer, no sports, no bars, no trucks, no video games, and unfortunately, no porn.

Anglo pronc(Seer-ree-in)
Arab pronc(Soo-ree-ahn)

An ethnicity known among the middle-eastern world as a melting pot. A haven for a mix of many Arabian nationalities.
The blood of the Syrian extends from
Phoenician and Assyrian in ancient times, to a more recent lineage of greek, arab and eastern Mediterranean.
As records go, "The Great Syria" (as it was called previously) contained what is now Lebanon, part of Jordan, and Syria. During that time period it was predominately Christian not Muslim.

Syrian's now are kind, and intelligent people. Diplomatic yet are firm in their stances toward politics. They have one of the most well equipped and organized armies in the middle-east/Mediterranean.

Damascus, Syria's capital, is one of the largest and oldest cities in the Arab world.

Many achievements such as Chemistry, Algebra and rules regarding the use and existence of the number Zero originate from this region.

The general public in Syria loves and adores America yet they tend to have a thorough distaste for the Bush administration.



In American culture, Syrians are wide spread throughout the business and economic field.
A large 35% of Syrian blooded Americans have a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree or PhD.

Syrian-American youth tend to be artistic, athletic and love music. Their facial features are generally not harsh aside from very dark eyebrows.
