1. Girlfriends won't let you leave your house with a handkerchief on as a top. It wasn't designed to cover the front of your body, and it doesn't. Put it on your head, or in your pocket, and cover the girls and midriff. It's Stampede week in Calgary and it got the girls talking about friendship rules that might apply for this annual July mayhem. For you readers outside of Alberta, it is a wild ten day ride of beer-drinking, saloon-hopping, two-stepping madness. To avoid waking up to those unfriendly companions we call the Regret and Remorse Sisters, it's important this week to be diligent with our friends. We discussed a few rules that help each other get through Stampede safely without discovering that any of our antics have become viral internet sensations.
2. Don't fall for the 'save a horse, ride a cowboy' line. Horses carry people. Enough said.
3. Daisy Dukes are just not for everyone. If more is hanging out the bottom than covered up, you need bigger bottoms.
4. Miniskirts and mechanical bulls..... Not a match. Don't let a friend do it no matter how much she wants to.
5. Never leave a girlfriend behind. After 1:00 AM it's nearly impossible to get a cab, and it's an ugly rodeo out there. Stay together or leave together.
6. A "few" shots are never a good idea. Especially after a long shift in the sun at the beer gardens.
7. No posting to any social media after two drinks. Just stop each other.
8. "It's not cheating, it's stampeding" is really not a clause in marriage or relationships. (Yes, out-of-towners... this one is used. Too often.)
9. No matter how cute that cowboy seems, don't let your girlfriend give him her real email address. Cell phone number is a stretch.
10. Friends don't let friends drive drunk. Or hop in with a drunk behind the wheel. We wish it didn't have to be said but just promise yourself you won't.
Have fun stampeding and stick together out there! Yahoo, sisters!
