Jason Segal really sold the "Not now, Ted!" line.

"...a billion years ago!" was delivered perfectly.

Yep. And, oh my, NPH sold the kiss at the end.
Hopefully this will be all laser-tags and cigars, instead of ending in tears and recriminations.
Love this.

Late coast: AIIIIYIII!!! Robin and BARNEY?? Loved the Robin Sparkles. I have to go look up who was the slacker ex-boyfriend. I think he might have been one of the guys from Dawson's Creek, but I've never seen an ep of it, so off to check.
Side note en route: the writer was Kourtney Kang, Born in Hawaii. [2000] Carnegie Mellon University's School Of Drama, MFA in Playwrighting.
Robin Sparkles has a MySpace page. Of course! [link]
Another side note: The producers don’t plan on stopping with Robin Sparkles, “We’d like to get to the point,” Bays said, “where people will know that if they hear in the narration, ‘but I can’t tell you that part of the story,’ then they’ll know they should go looking for it online.” - from search engine journal.
Okay, the actor is Michael Kagan and he was also in the episode Return of the Shirt, where Ted breaks up with Natalie by leaving a message on her ans. machine, and Robin says crazy stuff on air that Barney dared her to say.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
the actor is Michael Kagan
Which actor? The one who played slimy ex-boyfriend Simon? That was James Van Der Beek, formerly of Dawson's Creek. edit: x-posty
Heh, I hadn't seen the Robin Sparkles MySpace page yet. It's so... sparkly!

Oh he was that guy? Sorry, he's not listed on the cast on IMDB for that ep and I couldn't remember the character's name. Kagan is listed as the character Joel Adams in that ep. (Who was he, or is IMDB completely messed up w/r/t this ep?)

Hmm, I don't remember a Joel Adams in this episode.
