Happy Birthday Cobie Smulders
Cobie Smulders, the youngest cast member and fellow ‘82er, turns 26 today. As a teenager, Cobie caught the eye of a modeling agency, which led to several years of world travel to places such as France, Japan, Italy, Greece, and Germany.

Bottom left picture is incredibly gorgeous. Cobie’s done a great job and is now doing a lot with a little in the last few episodes.

I wish that she had been my Canadian girlfriend that I told everyone about.

Crap….I keep forgetting I’m older than her.
On the down side that makes me feel old.
On the up side that makes me feel like I’ve got a chance with her

She’s almost exactly two years older than me (I, too, was born in April). Means nothing though, but excuse this poor sap for having anything in common as this incredibly beautiful person.
As for her name, does she have any Spanish/Italian roots? I mean, Jacoba Fransisca Maria? Always loved the name Fransisca. Never heard of someone called Jaocba. Does explain where the name Cobie came from.
Did I mention how incredible I thought she looked? Never enough times. Bottom left is the best in my view too.
