Lingling’s Principle

Rule of life that states “Whatever you do that you think you are good at, there is a 5 year old Asian who can do it 1,000 times better”.

I thought I could play the concerto the best, but due to Lingling’s principle, I was outdone greatly.

Principal Principle

The foremost rule of a brave, strong, and wise Commander in Chief:

Start no unnecessary war.

The Principal Principle of a great President, one who knows war or understands war and is dedicated to the safety and security of the American people, would be:

Start no unnecessary war.

This is basic, fundamental.

cahuenga principle

a very specific rule governing the tipping for free drinks stating that the value of the tip given should be no less than half the combined value of the drinks.

The bartender gave him a free drink valued at four dollars so so he implemented the cahuenga principle and he left a two dollar tip.

Bear Principle

The bear principle is the theoretical idea that you don't need to be able to outrun an angry bear to escape; you only have to outrun the guy next to you.

Can be used as a metaphor for almost anything where the "bear" is some type of authority and you are the one trying to not get eaten. Evading police, cheating, internet piracy, drug dealing, etc.

When it comes to internet piracy, the bear principle states that while it is difficult or impossible to be completely anonymous when torrenting, IP blockers like PeerBlock will focus the attention of the "bear" on those that take no precautions at all. Anti-piracy types are not likely to go through the extra effort needed to track you when there are plenty of people who can be tracked effortlessly.

The Marteen Principle

The principle that nobody gives a shit about the sport of track and field. This is based on the idea that no one cares who is faster because it is not an achievable skill, it is simply a genetic ability. The great philosopher Marteen stated that "it is Track and Field like having a competition on who's dick is the biggest, it is not actually an athletic competition"

Friend1: "Bro, I ran a 54.6 in the 400 yesterday"
Friend2: "Come on man abide by The Marteen Principle"
Friend1: "What?"
Friend2: "Nobody gives a fuck about Track"
