From 7 Sep to 20 October 2007, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.<\/p>\n<p>2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, the PVR is all mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).<\/p>\n<p>3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.<\/p>\n<p>4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen.<\/p>\n<p>5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.<\/p>\n<p>6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153get over it, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only a game\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll win next time\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about rugby than me and your so called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153words of encouragement\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will only lead to a break up or divorce.<\/p>\n<p>7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153one\u00e2\u20ac\u009d game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153spend time together\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>8. The replays of the tries are very important. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care if I have seen them or I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seen them, I want to see them again. Many times, and record them.<\/p>\n<p>9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:<br \/>\na) I will not go,<br \/>\nb) I will not go, and<br \/>\nc) I will not go.<\/p>\n<p>10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.<\/p>\n<p>11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but you have already seen this\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6why don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you change the channel to something we can all watch??\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, the reply will be: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Refer to Rule #2 of this list\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>12. And finally, please save your expressions such as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thank goodness the World Cup is only every 4 years\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I am immune to these words, because after<br \/>\nthis comes the 20Twenty World Cup, etc etc. The Magic of the mighty PVR will be tested and revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<br \/>\nMen of the world<\/p>\n<p><em>via zoso\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Ffulgerica.com%2Fen%2F2007%2F06%2F23%2Frules-of-the-world-cup%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet ****Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to wives, girlfriends, fiances, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all women in general) **** These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in September \/ October this year\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 DEAR WOMEN List of Rules (Read and print them)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fulgerica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
