TV: How I met your mother

Has anyone seen this?

It's a kinda not-as-good-as-Friends-but-in-the-same-style program, except instead of sitting in a coffee shop they sit in a pub.

It's about a guy who's basically lame and always obsessing about girls (Ted), and his friends..one of which is Barney...who is *Legendary* and is worth watching the sentimental nonsense for

Most of the people I've met haven't heard of it, just wondered whether anyone else has seen it and what they thought!

SHOOTING WOMEN IN A BARREL

Lately I've been hunting for an appropriate venue to test my new club uniform: a button-down Euroshirt with a reflective disco ball sheen. Ridiculous under the halogen lights of your average apartment? Perhaps. But when bathed in the ultraviolet wash of your standard nightclub, the shirt emits a pheromonal luminescence no club-going woman can resist. Why? Biology lesson: Women, like fish, are attracted to shiny and/or effulgent objects. In fact, those of you with a keen eye have surely noted that women are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from fish, as illustrated in the following scientific observations:

Man after my own heart!!!

I only saw one episode but it seemed quite cleverly written, although they never did find out where the pineapple came from...
