shinebrighterxx

You're welcome

your creation

Those rules are awesome

shinebrighterxx

They really are

Anyone want to share what their favourite Gibbs rule is?

maplezbear

It seems there has been one or two new ones this season, but I can't remember what they were.

I don't think I have just one favorite one. There are a couple I really like.

shinebrighterxx

I can't remember ... They are something which maybe we should write down during the eps maybe

Yeah I like a few of them too. I do love it when they use Role 38 though

Summer Falls

Awesome thread idea he has so many .. I feel it's up to 100 but I'm not sure

Didn't he have one about his wife?? I like the episode when he retracks his rule about lawyers not to trust them .. But sometimes they might surprise you .. That's not the line but it's something like that

shinebrighterxx

It could be up to 100, but we just don't know them all yet

I'm not sure if he had one about his wife . Which wife was it if you remember? Shannon introduced him to the idea of having rules

maplezbear

There are so many things we should be writing down

I'm sure it's up to 100.

It seems there was something about his wife. Maybe it was just that's how the rules started? I dunno.
