Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I thought it was a great episode and I didn't get the Doogie Howser reference. (I really didn't watch much Doogie Howser.)

TCG didn't get it either, and couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard I nearly fell off the couch. Doogie Howser would do a computer journal entry at the end of every episode and the screen and everything looked just like that.

Ah! I was wondering why he had that old fashioned interface.

I especially loved the Doogie Howser reference at the end.

I laughed out loud when the music started playing. And NPH had the best expression on his face!

I cannot get that ditty out or my head today!

Well, the ending was funny, but I didn't think it made sense with the episode at all. I didn't love this episode and found the ending (aside from the Doogie reference) extremely disappointing.

The episode did mention his blog at least once. I was disappointed we didn't get to find out who the girl was, but I love how they pick up threads from past episodes and bring them back later. It's so uncommon for a sitcom, and I am looking forward to this story continuing later.

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

I'm torn... I loved that the show finally addressed what an utter fucking asshole Barney is (as a fictional character, I adore him, but the few real-world variations on him I've encountered--fortunately, very few--have been extremely nauseous individuals) and I loved Lily's dogged insistence that he make some attempt at reparation, but I'm still kind of squeamish over how the women he nails and forgets are portrayed, and the way Ted, Robin and Marshall talk about them makes me like them a bit less.

He's mentioned his blog in other episodes.

I think that they tried to address that with the beer and the brackets. First, they totally refused to be involved, then the beer got them.
