Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The right column is cracktastic. You're in the drugs square, right? Do you have the one below it? The center word is one of the things mentioned in the hints. It connects through one of the drugs, which is legal and popular. You want more?

Jesse, have any more hints for the one between the drugs square and the one below it? Not Quentin Tarantino, the one directly to the left of that one.

It's a man's drug, which links to another, which links to the center of the square, which is... a marketing technique.

Okay, I've got the center word, now. It's opened up a whole bunch of stuff, but I'm still clueless. It is what it is.

Ah! Thanks.

Now, that opened up a whole bunch more stuff that's puzzling me. (But, on the other hand, I'm totally laughing my head off at How I Met Your Mother, so it evens out.)

Also, I should be packing my suitcase. I'm leaving for Thanksgiving tomorrow morning. Not really getting too far on that.

Woo! Opened up the bottom right square!

How'd you do it, Hil?

How I Met Your Mother was FUNNY tonight. Or at least, the music video was cracktastically awesome.
