This is stupid. Clearly, there is no mother, or McClarens, or Barney or Robin. It's going to end with Marshall entering the apartment where Lily is sitting with Ted, as he spends all day long, in his own world, staring at a snowglobe.

One of the many reasons why Ben and Leslie are in the top 10 of fictional couples of all time.

So, if you have children because you wanted children, you are likely just as satisfied with your life as a friend who does not have children because he or she did not want to have them.

While I do think that that's true... ice skating and gymnastics do have an artistic component to them, built into the competition, and that should not count for nothing. It is work and it is talent to move people the way Kim or Kostner did. I actually cried during Kim's send in the clowns routine - that should not be…

The crowd also completely shut down after cheering for Sotnikova for what seems like eternity (which I get, I would have screamed for an American). But it seems like after they had a Russian in first, they were disconnected from the following performances. Gracie Gold had a really tough job of following Sotnikova…

I cannot, for the life of me, tell you why Kim Yu-Na was not at the top of the podium. There is literally no reason. Sotnikova did not become a better skater overnight, and every justification…

Did no one else see Sotnikova's bobble?

That's why at a certain point, it comes down to dumb luck. For the most part, every one of them are dedicated and equally skilled more or less . I know they say muscle memory and such. But you can't duplicate the exact scenario every time. One camera flash, a sound, anything can throw off a performance. Which is…

Of course, Lipnitskaia is professional athlete, not a baby.

You guys, I am incredibly stressed out right now. I just want Yuna Kim to win so badly! And for Gracie Gold to get a medal, too! And for Mao Asada to magically end up on the medals stand! And for Yulia Lipnitskaya to fall again because she is a literal child and freaks me out! Anyone else live-streaming at work?

Oh my god, are figure skating commentators the most annoying sports commentators? I think they may be.

Some people like to flavor their water with lemon. I choose to infuse mine with squirrel poop. It's organic.

The lighting is the real star here. It is amazing!

Katy Perry Thinks Nothing, Says Things Though

True, but talking publicly about being in love with someone else seems disrespectful to your actual spouse. Also perhaps not the best idea if you would like to maintain that relationship.
