Oh, I can't wait to be inside you.

“Barney, get out here.
This is your wedding day.” - Ted

Who?

This room belongs to Susan Tupp.” - Ted

“Susan Tupp.” - Ted

Who?

“Sue…Tupp.” - Ted

“Suit up.” - Ted

I'm trying to.

I need you to help me pick the suit
I'm gonna wear when I walk down the aisle.

“Okay, Robin walks down the aisle.
You wait at the end of it.” - Ted

Okay, then the suit I'll be wearing
when they all stand as I enter the chapel.

“That's also her.” -Ted

Really?
Man, the fellas sure do get boned
on the whole wedding thing, don't they?

Barneyism of the Week - Stinson's Hangover Fixer Elixir

Stinson's Hangover Fixer Elixir!
The most effective post-bender,
head's-too-tender ender from here to Denver.

“What's in it?” - Ted

Glad you asked. Columbia University, 1941…

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
whom we all know is most famous for being a world-class drunk,
commissioned a top-secret scientific project:
develop an elixir to cure the common hangover.

And what brilliant scientific mind did boozy, old FDR
pick to head up this historic task?

“Look, my head really hurts.
Let's just speed this along.
You're clearly ripping off the story of the Manhattan Project,
which was run by Dr. Robert Oppenheimer.
So, I'm gonna guess it was your distant relative,
Barnert Stinsonheimer?” - Ted

Somebody's read their history books.

The “Too Many Manhattans Project” hit a few snags at first.
The first batch exploded.
Which sounded kind of like this:
Boom!

But the second batch…sadly also exploded.
Boom!

After some trial and error,
Dr. Stinsonheimer finally found the magic formula.

The elixir was such a success, he was awarded the Bro-bel Prize.
True story.

- Barney Stinson

Street Fighter T-Shirt “I Can’t Blow Out The Candles” by Threadless

I Can’t Blow Out The Candles by Ben Chen

While not a tee The Blot would necessarily wear, I chuckled pretty hard when I saw this new Street Fighter inspired t-shirt design from Threadless. It features everyone’s favorite fire breathing Indian street fighter, Dhalsim! After debuting in Street Fighter 2, Dhalsim has always been one of The Blot’s favorite playable characters (right up there with Chun-Li and Blanka). I always loved his extendable limbs and fire breathing blasts. But as this t-shirt points out, it would make it pretty difficult to blow out candles on a birthday cake!

The Street Fighter t-shirt “I Can’t Blow Out The Candles” comes printed on stone t-shirt (sizes S-2XL) and is currently available for purchase at Threadless.com for $20.

DC Comics, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to bring back their Eisner Award winning all-ages comic book series Tiny Titans by Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani for an all new 6 issue miniseries “Return to the Treehouse”.

First up is “Tiny Titans” featuring Robin, Batgirl, Ace the Bat-Hound and a Penguin. Then there’s “Kroc” featuring an adorable baby Killer Croc!
