HIMYM is repeating "Slap Bet" tonight. I will be taping because I totally missed it last time.
Thanks for posting this because I have been hearing all about this episode.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Question: Was Colbert making the beep-boop noises live?
I think he was, because he was very deliberately never on camera when they were happening.
I was so dreading the metaphor-off, and it was awesome! I should know to trust The Colbert, but sometimes even my faith can waver. The metaphorical buzzers made my week.
"Slap Bet" is comedy genius. Love that ep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think he was, because he was very deliberately never on camera when they were happening.
Yeah, that's what made me think it. Well, I wondered, and then tried to see him, and since he wasn't on camera, I figured it must be.
YAY Slap Bet! Was the New York Observer article on HIMYM linked here? [link]

Damn. Got home from work way too late. I'd've scheduled it online, but I couldn't remember if I had anything besides Drive at that time, so I didn't want to screw things up and cancel the wrong things.

So, it The Daily Show is to be believed (and I have no reason to doubt them), this year the White House Correspondants Dinner had that edgy comedian Rich Little. Doing Jimmy Carter impersonations. I wonder why they played it so safe this year...

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I love the Giant Head of Brian Williams on TDS. Genius.
Slap Bet is probably the pinnacle of recent sitcom television. I can't remember if HIMYM is available on iTunes, but it's one thing I would love to carry around with me on my iPod all the time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I love the Giant Head of Brian Williams on TDS. Genius.His first appearance on TDS (Nov. 30, 2004!!!) is still on my tv. It's my bulletproof cheer up. I make anyone who visits watch. Often twice.

The Robin Sparkle video is pretty genius also.
Emmett totally wants to be Barney when he grows up.

That's...a little frightening.
Of course, it would be worse if it was the big purple dinosaur he was talking about.
