No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

Just got round to watching this week's HIMYM. The countdown (with big numbers in various fun places) to the ending was interesting. Was it something to do with never knowing how much time you've got left? There were a lot of other references to time and clocks too.

Seska, the creator of HIMYM talks about it here: link . It is somewhat spoilery for future things in the season.

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

Oh, I LOVED Drowning By Numbers, and now I love the HIMYM folks for namechecking it.

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

Heh. The bit of Cougar Town after the credits last night included the term Crazy Ivan. I'm taking it as a reference.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I am so sad! I recently started watching Better off Ted on Netflix Watch Instantly, and I LOVE it! How did I miss this show while it was on the air? And how did it not become a huge hit?
