More Unwritten Rules:
1. Never bet replica jerseys on Bucs/Packers games... (I think I've given away five now on here)...
2. Do talk to Packer fans about Green Bay and visit Door County just cause they said it was pretty.
3. Don't tell them that Sapp is your hero...
4. Post a few pics every now and then of California girls and remind them WHY the song was titled "California Girls" and NOT "Wisconsin Girls"...
5. Remind them that they don't have hot cheerleaders on the sidelines...
6. If you really want to ruin their day, start a rumor that Favre is retiring next year....oh wait, he does that himself.
7. Treat Buccaneer fans with respect and the love deserving of a brother...
8. Don't serve alcohol to CAL...
Now, Myths of Times Four:
1. CAL must be banned because he has weapons of mass Board destruction.
2. Okay, he didn't but we need to knock him off because we need to "free" Buccaneer fans... yeah, we need to teach democracy to Buc fans...then, they will become just like us... Packer fans.
3. Oh never mind, let's just let all Buc fans kill each other...what do we care?

Nice work Cal but you can't start over at #1, you start with #132. I bet your teachers were frustrated with you never following directions!
