i think you're off on a few of those. isn't candlestick 3com or something? and i thought great american ballpark was named after the amusement park?
i always wondered about the rose garden too. that's a cool name but i'm not sure if there isn't a "rose" bank out in the pacific northwest or something.
you are correct on candle stick. the site i was looking at listed generally listed the name, including the sponser.
and you are semi correct on cincy (actually derived from the name of Great American Insurance Group, )
and finally the rose garden
The name was chosen both to reflect Portland's reputation as the Rose City[6], and to reflect the importance to basketball heritage of Boston Garden and Madison Square Garden arenas in Boston and New York City, respectively
Section 4: If you are at someone’s house you must ask for a beer, you can never just take one.
i disagree on this. if i'm at an old friends place, that i have hung with for years and we have shared many a beer thru the years, i have no problem going to his fridge and grabbing a beer.

the rule is 'someone' not 'your buddy from way back when'
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

than it should have an addendum...host must ask if you need a beverage
Section 5: The last beer will always be reserved for the man who originally purchased said alcohol. If someone consumes the last beer and is not the original purchaser, that person becomes solely responsible to replenish the reserves.
This seems to be a commonly overlooked rule in my circle of friends... Looks like I'm going to have to present them with this doctrine.

True. A good host who knows their guest drinks beer, will offer a beer.
Now, here's a question...if you have beer in your fridge, but not enough to share, and don't have a lot of cash to replenish...is it okay to deny beer requests?

NO FUCKING WAY. That's being the opposite of a man. And another thing - you bring beer over someone's house, don't even think about being a crook nose and taking it home with you.

I always offer my last beers anyway. 8 times out of 10, that person will return the favor of bringing cerveza the next time around.

you can only claim to be a fan of one team in any given sport.....and once you pick a team, you are stuck with that team, unless that team is the pirates, cubs or clippers

Well, if someone comes by that you know full well drinks beer then they're going to think it's weird that you're not offering. Depends on the situation, but I would say there are some situations where you wouldn't necessarily have to offer. These are limited situations though.

and i have a couple issues with that. i think they've been discussed in the fraud thread and beaten to a bloody pulp by now.....but you don't choose a team. you are born into your team. and you're stuck with them for life. even if you're fans of the teams you mentioned there. can't abandon them.

Just want to point out.......this thread is titled "Man Laws".....but inside its a bunch of dudes arguing about shoes.
That is exactly what I was thinking!!!
Rule #29 Dudes should not talk about shoes!
I think there should also be a limit as to how many pair one man owns. I've seen some ridiculous male shoe collections. :shock:

Agreed! Men should own:
1 pair of sneakers for running/Gym
1 pair of casual shoes to wear with jeans
1 pair of dress shoes
1 pair of jandals (flip flops) for summer
and if needed
1 pair of work boots
1 pair of footy boots
And that is all!!! Those guys that own more than that are borderline girls! Seriously I only own 8 pairs of shoes.

i have newfound respect for the city of portland.
i disagree on this. if i'm at an old friends place, that i have hung with for years and we have shared many a beer thru the years, i have no problem going to his fridge and grabbing a beer.
while Portland was involved in the stadium at one point, Paul Allen bought everyone else out and owns it now. He has discussed naming it.
