Basic understanding of how standard TV works would lead us to believe Ted and Robin would be together. People were just hoping things would be different this time.

Actually, it just turns out that Ted has been Kaiser Soze the whole time.

That's about the only thing that could save this whole mess. Well, that and the gang ending up in jail ... ooh. :::scurries off to cook up some fanfic:::

For fuck's sake, if you don't like the perfectly valid happy ending that HIMYM had on Monday, go and write your own ending. In that one, everyone gets ponies! Barney settles down with three women! Colonel Blake's plane does not crash in the Pacific! Omar lives! Tony shoots down the guy in the Member's Only jacket…

All the butthurt HIMYM fans just make me think of Stephen King's Misery.

I thought child support is based on the non custodial parent's income.

I find it comical when people get butthurt over endings of shows. I wish there would have been Jezebel when MASH ended. Oh the shit storms we would have had. Old Yeller was a great movie. Part of what made the movie so powerful and memorable was the ending.

I feel like she literally wants to slap him on the wrist with her copy of Reader's Digest.

This is only tangentially related, but if there is one person the state of CT should be helping financially, it's the police officer that arrived at the scene that day. The NYTimes story is absolutely heartbreaking. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/25/nyr…

Before people comment I highly recommend reading the long-form article New York Magazine did on this case in 2011. It will answer your questions on why the state could be argued to be culpable, previous incidents that were laughed off as just Travis being a rascal, etc. It is heartbreaking, but very well-written and…

This was a brutal, cold-calculated decision by Kraft Foods that it will make more money (most important) and get less crap by siding with the liberal side, and will turn the ad into free marketing (like this article). This decision was researched and debated, at multiple corporate levels, not by what is "right," but…

Best thing ever. I'm off to the store to buy some Teddy Grahms right now.

I don't know. I love gourmet desserts as much as the next guy, but Oreos for whatever reason are like CRACK to me.

If Richard Sherman were't so fucking talented he would be booted from the league for being this intelligent and outspoken. Kudos to him for using his position in the NFL to speak truth to power at the possible expense of an early retirement.

"Enin, a first-generation American whose parents emigrated from Ghana, scored 2,250 out of 2,400 on the SAT, according to USA Today. That places him in the 99th percentile for all students taking the exam."

Chill out. If some friends asked you to bring a dish for a party and announced that they were happily in love and got hitched, would you be so grumpy about it? Wouldn't you be happy for your friends?

But then that's true for every potluck. That's what a potluck party is. Are you saying potlucks in general are rude because they mean that people have to bring a dish? That's what a potluck is! How is it different just because at the end of the night someone makes a sentimental speech?

Are you out of your mind? You know how many expenses a traditional wedding foists on the guests, and particularly the bridal party? Gifts,bridesmaid dresses/shoes, the bridal shower, the bachelor/bachelorette party? And the parents traditionally put big bucks into the wedding food and flowers and everything as well.…

As a veteran bridesmaid, let me throw this out there re: #10. Do NOT buy me a nice gift to thank me. I love you; I'm happy to be here, it's why I agreed to be your bridesmaid in the first place, and I do not need a memento—I have 300 pictures of myself at your wedding to remember it by. If you really want to do…

15. Don't take money from anyone for the wedding if you don't want them to have a say in the proceedings.
