We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I know why she wasn't the mother in the previous season, but did completely close her out as a possibility?

Nah, I don't think so. I'd rather Stella wasn't the mother, but they did plant that idea. (She mentioned being at the St Patrick's Day thing at one point.)

Loved the charts, and the adorable ending. I could *so* be a Barney/Robin 'shipper. I don't care if that's wrong and I'm going to need a patch for it soon.

I think Barney's about to be a Barney/Robin 'shipper...

I love the Barney/Robin thing. Of course, I just love Barney.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I like Barney best when we see layers of goodness beneath the skeeve, or when someone is calling him on his skeeviness, which means I loved him to bits in this episode.

Apparently (so says someone on Alan Sepinwall's blog) someone on Zazzle has made a t-shirt of the dirty presidential names list; I'm so sad that nobody has done the Cecilia Venn diagram yet.

It's a little weird how many people on that blog are getting all grumpy about yet another Your Mother fakeout, and how they're being "strung along" by the show. Not that I don't want to know myself, but it's so clearly not what the show is about (despite being the show title) and I've been peacefully Zen about the eventual appearance of YM and all the fakeouts and takebacks for so long that it hasn't even occurred to me for, like, at least a year that anyone could feel otherwise.

They're just all so wrought up about it!

That would be awesome! Cecilia was my favorite song when I was 3. I made up a dance to it, according to my mom.
