Ted’s new firm, Mosbius Designs, has great potential… if only Ted can make that first phone call. And then there is Barney and Marshall… trying to avoid layoffs by becoming indispensable. Oh, yeah: and Barney is still in love with Robin. Too bad he offended his only confidant, Lily, and she isn’t speaking to him.

PS – Congrats to Alyson Hannigan and her new bundle of joy!

How long has it been since you’ve gone TP-ing? Yeah... me, too. When is the last time you went to a rave? Huh. Well, Barney attempts to complete a whole list of things in a similar vain in 24 hours. And it is legen… wait for it… dary.

Karen is back in town. Don’t know who Karen is? Well, she is only Ted’s ex-girlfriend who continually ripped out his heart, stomped on it a bit, and then set it on fire. What’s better, Lily absolutely HATES her. This is gonna be awesome!

So Robin still doesn’t have a job. She’s been auditioning right and left, but no joy. And, oddly enough, Metro News 1 is just now getting around to sending her her fan mail. Geeze, take you time why doncha!? While going through the letters (of which only 60% are from inmates), the gang watches poor little Lottery Girl, the butt of a series of Barney jokes. Robin would never get that desperate, right? Yeah. That was before she opened a letter from US Immigration. She has four days to get a job (in her field, mind you) or she will be deported. Fun times.

Was it really that good of an idea for Robin and Ted to become roomies? I mean, they are exes... it could be ugly. On the other hand, it could be very, very convenient.

Hurricane Heather hits New York! Don't worry... it’s just Ted’s immature, irresponsible, tree hugging, shoplifting sister. What’s worse? Barney thinks she’s hot. The answer? Keep Heather away from Barney, of course. Good luck with that one! Did I mention that Lily has an acute case of Can’t Keep Secrets During the Holiday Season? Yeah.

MacLaren’s has a crazy bartender named Doug (Will Sasso) who has a temper but is very protective of the gang. So when some non-regulars sit in the favorite booth, Doug freaks and asks the squatters to step outside and for the boys to join him. That’s right, we’re gonna have ourselves a fist fight.

So there is a naked man sitting on Ted’s couch. I’m getting ahead of myself…

Ted meets a girl in the elevator at work. I use the term “meets” quite loosely, as it take them a whole week’s worth of elevator rides to do the actual meeting. Yet Ted, still broken after his failed almost-marriage, finally gets up the nerve to ask her out. Yay! Now, back to the naked man…

Lily has a problem. She has a friend from work, see, whom she wants to hang out with outside of the elementary school walls. The problem? Said friend, Jillian (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), is a Woo Girl. What is a Woo Girl, you might ask? They are girls that say “Woo!” after everything and wear tiny cowboy hats. Lily and Robin, who was tagging along, are mortified, and Barney, who shows up as if he has a Woo! Radar, is ecstatic. For without Woo! Girls, there would be no Girls Gone Wild. And that’s so bad?

With Alyson Hannigan preggers in real life, I was wondering if the baby issue would be broached between Lily and Marshall. This episode answered my wonderings, but also, to my great surprise (although anyone could have seen it coming from a mile away), applied the very same subject matter to another member of the group. Need a hint? Visit the amazing www.NotAFathersDay.com to find out, and while you’re there, buy some merchandise! On to the show!

After a bad break-up (we’re talking leave-you-at-the-alter bad), Ted is fine. Seriously, guys. He’s fine. And it is this “fineness” that is unnerving to the gang. Why won’t he cry on their shoulders? Or binge eat? Of even show one shred of sadness? I mean, really, the wedding was just yesterday. Yesterday!

How I Met Your Baby

Alyson Hannigan has just announced she is pregnant! Yay for her and her husband Alexis! She is due sometime this spring, which could mean there is a baby on the way for Lily and Marshall. Remember, she didn't drink the scotch at the end of Intervention. Hmmm... To read the breaking news on E! click here...

Thank you for calling this to our attention, Slice of Paradise!

Stella’s sister is in a quandary and out thousands of dollars: Her granola-vegan-dread-lock infused wedding is off because her fiancé ran off with the vitamin girl. Ted and Stella (through no fault of Ted) decide to take over her wedding on Shelter Island and pay her back. So there you have it… Ted and Stella are getting married in a few days. Yikes.
