* TheChainOfHarm: This is what Barney calls the Chain of Screaming. When someone screams at a subordinate, the subordinate must scream at someone lower, who in turn screams at someone else, and so on until someone screams at the original screamer and the cycle is complete. Marshall's attempts to break the chain do not go as well as he hoped.

The only difference is that, in the heat of the moment, Marshall quits on the spot.
