insert title of your choosing

tvguide.com seems to have completely stopped recapping How I Met Your Mother which is very distressting to me.  At the same time, I don't want to be that girl who only writes recaps of movies and tv shows (oh wait, that's really the only reason any of you come here, isn't it?  ISN'T IT?!!? Ahem, sorry).

I don't have a whole lot to say about last night's episode, though I did enjoy it.

One of my favorite things is how when Old Ted is telling a story, the people change to reflect how they interpret the story.  That's a really crappy way of saying how I like that Robin's older boyfriend was played by an 80 year old a couple seasons ago and how I liked that the other team for the kindergarten basketball game was made up of high school aged kids.

Also, as an aside - I totally agree with Marshall about the competition aspect.  If you don't like competition, don't put your children in competitive sports.  Put them in yoga or something.  Thus ends my PSA about a subject of which I have no direct knowledge.

How old is Robin supposed to be?  We know Ted is 30, Barney is somewhere between 32 and 35, you can assume that Lily and Marshall are also 30 because they were in college with Ted, but what about Robin?  Ted talked to her like she was a whipper snapper and she didn't seem to have any trouble doing the things on the Murtaugh list with Barney (well, pretty much just the rave, but you get the idea).  So are we thinking like 25, 26?  I had just always assumed she and Ted were the same age.  This bothers me more than it probably should.

What are we possibly expected to do with Barney being banned from Laser Tag for life?  I half expected him to end the episode by purchasing the Laser Tag place.  I feel we haven't seen the end of this.

And now you'll have to excuse me because I just dropped a ream of paper on my foot and I need to whine about it.
