Barney's Rules

Barney Stinson, perhaps the most enlightened character in prime time, has delivered yet another nugget of gold. In the past, he has outlined what a bachelor's apartment should look like.

Today, he explains how “the rules for girls are the same as the rules for Gremlins”:

1. Never get them wet — in other words, don’t let them take a shower at your place.
2. Keep them away from sunlight — i.e., don’t ever see them during the day
3. Never feed them after midnight — meaning, she doesn’t sleep over, and you don’t have breakfast with her. Ever … No, Ted — brunch is not cool.

When they first said rule number one, I nearly spat out my drink, until they clarified it. Regardless, the rules make sense. And am I the only one out there dying to know how Predator is instructive in showing one how to choose a tie?
