I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks, sj. Now I am confused by Ted carrying a yellow umbrella last night. Wait, is that the one he got after that St. Pat's day when he was being all jerky?

And this visual I have of an open yellow umbrella tumbling down an empty street, is that HIMYM?

What is even happening?

Yes, -t. The Mother was at the same club on St. Patrick's Day, but they never met. Ted lost his phone that night. He went back to the club the next day to get it, but couldn't find it. While he was there, it started pouring out. Someone else (the mother) had left behind the yellow umbrella so he took it.

So kids, if I weren't an accomplished thief, I never would have met your mother.

Thanks, Cindy. I actually just read your recap and it was very helpful, also!

I think my favorite part of this episode though, was when Ted was going around hugging everyone, the health inspector went from arguing with the bagel guy to looking so happy to see Ted and giving a big hug and then right back to scowly arguing. That really tickled me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Scrubs" went out on a good note. Gonna miss it.

HIMYM was wonderful! I was thrilled to see her again. So wait, I know why she wasn't the mother in the previous season, but did completely close her out as a possibility? I thought she could come back and be it now? The post above? So it would be perfect for SC also!

OMG, Dan Rather just made the funniest pundit (or ex- in this case) Daily Show appearance since Ted Koppel's giant head.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Dan Rather is a REALLY good sport.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Rather regained a bunch of karma points for that standup, by me.
