48 - The drummer must be fed 3 times a day.

51 - Every Viking Metaller likes to enlarge things, including nipples and rules.

52 - Never compare the nordic world to the real world, like "Darling, you are as beautiful as the destruction of 1000 burning corpses being pierced by beautiful arrows amidst screams of pain". It doesn't matter how wonderful it is, she will never understand it.

62 - Your beard can retain: fungi, bacteria, algae, liquens and small mammals, or, in other words, food.

63 - Remember: you are a big family, so all bands must sound the same.

64 - Don't say Family, say Clan.

65 - When asked what is your god, name all the gods of Nordic Mythology and explain the whole story. But don't mention any name, after all, YOU are Odin's Chosen One, not them.

67 - Buy a really weird viking hat. Remember: the more weird it is, the more "viking" it is.

68 - When you go to the amusement park, go straight to the Viking Ship and stay there all day. After all, it has Viking on its name. When it is time to go home, complain that it wasn't real.

81 - Even if you was born in the middle of the Sonora Desert, when asked where are you from, answer "from the frozen mountains of the North!"

82 - When asked where do you work at, answer "At the ice wasteland of the northwest where fire and steel are born!". You have just said you work on a steel factory in Iceland, but no one should understand it.

83 - The viking hat has 2 uses: to wear it in your head and as a beer mug.

84 - If any Black Metaller annoys you, show him a third use of the viking hat.

85 - You are unique. You and other thousand bands that sound the same.

86 - You are not Manowar, so you don't need to get pumped (refer to #75).

87 - The only comic worth reading is "Hagar The Horrible".

Remember those funny rules of metal? This isn't one of them. Too repeditive.
