I love the Barney/Robin thing. Of course, I just love Barney.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

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.

I bet you were adorable!
Cecilia would definitely have been on my list of possible names for Matilda, except I still struggle a bit with my "s" sounds, and any name that either started with S or had two s's was right out.
And about the t-shirts, someone should definitely do a two-sided one of the pie-bar and bar-pie charts, one on the front and one on the back.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The charts were great!
And I love the ongoing things like the intervention.
And I am JZ regarding Barney & the skeeve.
The Your Mother fakeouts are, like, the whole point! I mean, if I were the (rapidly aging) kids, I would be cranky about being told this whole story instead of how dad met mom, but from the viewer perspective I can't see being upset about it. Won't the show be over once we find out? Okay, probably not, but it would be a sea change.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The Your Mother fakeouts are, like, the whole point!
Heh. Yeah, you're right. It's fun to speculate aimlessly though.

He's adorable. It's cuter 'cause you have to work to get to it.

Yes! That is so needed I can't even stand it.

That's why she's now Jacqueline Thmay.

The Office made me smile tonight. And want to go dancing. I can't remember the last time I did! That is sad.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes, nice light-hearted episode. Even Dwight was a nice person for a while.
