The How I Met Your Mother Blog

By popular demand, I will now start streaming episodes on the blog. Right now I’ve only got Sorry, Bro available but I’ll be going back and adding more episodes as I find them. The video will be embedded at the top of that episode’s discussion page. There is also a link in the side bar to watch the most recent episode.

Let me know if there are any problems, I’m still working out the embedding details.

There might not be a new episode on CBS until March but I’ve got The Stinsons right here for you.

What could you do to create the best HIMYM themed party? Leave your tips in the comments.

I got an email today that surprised me.
