Haven't seen the episode yet but, just based on how sexy Alyson is, I'm taking Lily's side.

I increasingly feel like this show should be renamed to "How I Met Your Mother(In 250 short stories)". And I would still watch them all as long as it stays as enjoyable as it is now.

Gee, I wonder how many parent groups and what not are gonna complain that an entire episode of a primetime show was centered around a certain very naughty word

The word he REALLY called her was "democrat", right?

Another great episode, and another example of why I love this show.

The scene at the end with the kids chanting the word was hilarious.

Did anyone else notice that the top bunk in Ted and Marshall's dorm room (when Ted and Lily were getting baked) had a rollbar similar to what little kids have to keep them from rolling out? Seeing them all so baked, I considered that either of the guys might need it to keep from falling out of the bed.

it's called "mind over body" whenever I feel my body getting sick, I just start being awesome instead.

I busted out laughing when they cut to Robin, the cookies and the fire extinguisher - I had to run it back a few times but I think she was screaming something like "Oh mother of God!!!!"

Great episode all around. I think they should have been a little more descriptive about WHAT word Ted called Lily. Only because I initially thought it was "bitch" since that sort of sounds like Grinch. But obviously it was much worse than that - I think they could have made that a bit clearer without actually saying it.

Otherwise, I thought it was a legen-wait for it-zzzzz.

When they started singing and Barney suddenly sang in perfect harmony, I fell down laughing. Truly a great show.

Bounder: Anyway you're interested in one of our adventure holidays?

Tourist: Yes I saw your advert in the bolour supplement

Bounder: The what?

Tourist: The bolour supplement

Bounder: The colour supplement?

Tourist: Yes I'm sorry I can't say the letter 'B'

Bounder: C?

Tourist: Yes that's right. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a spoolboy. I was attacked by a bat

Bounder: A cat?

Tourist: No a bat

Bounder: Can you say the letter 'K'

Tourist: Oh yes, Khaki, king, kettle, Kuwait, Keble Bollege Oxford

Bounder: Why don't you say the letter 'K' instead of the letter 'C'

Tourist: what you mean.....spell bolour with a K

Bounder: Yes

Tourist: Kolour. Oh that's very good, I never thought of that. What a silly bunt.

Good episode. Robin still is the weak link, though.

That's a Canadian teen pop star you're talking about.

I think Ted is the weak link actually.

I thought this was a sweet episode, but not that funny.

The show kind of hit it's high mark with the "slap-bet" episode, but I think the couple since then have been pretty week.

One good like though, as usually from Barney.

Barney blows his nose disguntingly in his hanky:

Robin: "See, you are sick."

Barney: "I am NOT, I just had to much AWESOME in my nose & I had to let some out"

I think that this episode just says to me that Barney should be the main character.

I was waiting for Barney to say "Santa Suit up"

"But I still have one package left to give..."

Lily smirks.

"Yeah I did."
