I have been waiting all morning for this to get up online. How I Met You Mother. The show is genius. It is the Seinfeld of today when it comes to quoting. It is so much more than that too. (Please see earlier entry from September about the superiority of this show).
I have to touch on last night episode:
The Woo girl "is a type of young woman, who like the cuckoo bird or the Whip-Poor-Will, gets get name from the signature sound she makes.""Wooooo!""A woo can be elicited from a certain song coming on the jukebox ("Sweet Home Alabama" plays); to half-priced shots; from a ride on a mechanical bull; to, well, pretty much anything,"
Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) showed up at the bar after hearing about the presence of Woo Girls and, when Lily (Band Camp girl from American Pie) questioned the world's need for Woo Girls, gave a classic Barney speech that deserves a full transcription here:
"The world absolutely needs Woo Girls. If there were no Woo Girls, there would be no 'Girls Gone Wild,' no bachelorette parties, no Las Vegas poolside bars. All of the things that you hold dearest, Lily, would be gone.""Those are none of those things --" Lily tried to interject, but Barney continued. "The souvenir shot-glass industry would collapse; so would the body-glitter industry -- and, the stretch Hummer rental industry. Tiny cowboy hats would be worn only by tiny cowboys. And when 'Brown- Eyed Girl' would come up on the jukebox, all you would hear ... would be silence .... and 'Brown-Eyed Girl.' But who would 'woo,' Lily? Who would 'woo'? Would you? Would you ... 'woo'?"
If I could get the video, I would create a link because Barney can deliver it like no other. I apologize, I can't access video right now.
Mondays 7:30pm CBS. You deserve this.

Three cheers for HIMYM. I'm just so happy this was brought into my life. Thank you Anna.
Law and Order is still better...Oh yeah and big bang theory.....oh and what about the office?
BIG BANG THEORY?! I can't get into it. I see it as mediocre and obvious. HIMYM is smart, clever and teaches you things. This isn't a competition. I am just suggesting. I can't comment on Law & Order because everyone I know is obsessed with it and I fall asleep watching the commercials.
And the guy on Law and Order will ALWAYS be Baby's dad. I can't see him as anything else. Because no one puts Baby inthe corner.
Well, I suppose if you wanted to get into Law & Order you could now, because Jerry Orbach died and all, so he's been off the show a few years. Just sayin...There'll be no one to remind you of Baby and said corner any longer.
