I reckon we should start a thread where we can post snippets of advice for all subsimmers to see to help make life a bit more bearable. If possible also post where you reeived this gem of information.

I'll start:

'Keep dry and away from children.'

I thought the yellow acid was ok. It's the brown stuff you gotta watch out for.

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and swims like a duck, its most likely to be a duck.

Oh...it's not funny to me...

I heard the whole tacocat thing probably 6,000 times in a week this summer.

There was this ridiculously annoying girl at church camp that I wish would just GET AWAY! Every third word out of her mouth was Tacocat, YOLO, or Forreal. Usually followed by a terribly annoying laugh.

Anyway, here's my advice for today.

Zombieland Rules

1 Cardio
2 The Double Tap
3 Beware of Bathrooms
4 Wear Seat Belts
5 No Attachments
6 The “Skillet”
7 Travel Light
8 Get a Kick Ass Partner
9 With your Bare Hands
10 Don’t Swing Low
11 Use Your Foot
12 Bounty Paper Towels
13 Shake it Off
14 Always carry a change of underwear
15 Bowling Ball
16 Opportunity Knocks
17 Don’t be a hero (later crossed out to be a hero)
18 Limber Up
19 Break it Up
20 It’s a marathon, not a sprint, unless it’s a sprint, then sprint
21 Avoid Strip Clubs
22 When in doubt Know your way out
23 Zipplock
24 Use your thumbs
25 Shoot First
26 A little sun screen never hurt anybody
27 Incoming!
28 Double-Knot your Shoes
29 The Buddy System
30 Pack your stain stick
31 Check the back seat
32 Enjoy the little things
33 Swiss army Knife

If you're changing your car wheel and knock the wheel nuts down the drain, take one nut off each remaining wheel and use them. Three wheel nuts on each wheel is enough to get you home.
