HIMYM – Do you wonder what Wharmpess takes like?

Sometimes, there’s so much funny to be had in any give episode of How I Met Your Mother, that sometimes I miss things. Or, as was the case in tonight’s episode, a whole joke is completely lost on me. Then, as I’m getting ready to submit my post, Keith drops me an IM to explain the joke. Wharmpess beer? It probably tastes like piss. Warm piss, to be specific. Fortunately, the episode went down a lot smoother than the beer will.

I’m not sure where Robin’s work storyline is going. I can imagine working with someone that everyone seems to love more, while your hard work goes unappreciated. In fact, I don’t have to imagine it, I just stick straight pins in a Carla shaped voodoo doll from time to time). But in all seriousness, folks, Becky is annoying, and Robin’s not having the best time at work. If her career as a TV journalist hasn’t taken off by now, will it ever? Especially now, under the specter of her adult diaper commercial? I mean, life after being a Canadian child pop star is one thing, but she just wore a diaper on television!

Marshall needs to man up! In a position like his, this won’t be the last time he’s going to have to fire someone. His moral code doesn’t allow it? I call shenanigans! At least it allowed Randy to live out his dream and give future us his wonderful brew.

If I lived in NYC, I can imagine myself sitting on the stoop, watching the world go by, perhaps sipping a nice Wharmpess (or, in my case, more likely a Woodchuck Cider). And if I were one to sit on my hypothetical stoop and watch the hypothetical world go by sipping my hypothetical cider, I would most definitely be front and center the morning of November 1^st each year (or, more likely, whatever Sunday morning the calendar worked out for me). You know that’s got to be fun.
