I, like most people tuned in February 7th to watch the Super Bowl, however it was a Sunday night so it was more like me watching the Super Bowl and doing homework at the same time. The game was good, the Saints won and I was all about that. But something really caught my eye in between playing time. A Super Bowl commercial that not only grabbed my attention but made me say “that was LEGEN-DARY.” Barney Stinson’s face crossed the screen and every How I Met Your Mother die-hard fans gasped. Really?
Could that be him?! But it was! I immediately jotted the number down and called it. Busy. I tried again. Busy. Third time was a charm, I got through. I reached a recording of Barney Stinson promising me a date at MacLaren’s bar on October 12, 2016 at 3:45 AM. It was pretty epic. The number was disconnected the next day when the episode aired. The episode like many was all fluff and no clues about the Mother. But for someone who’s week is more or less centered around the show, that was good enough for me. Getting new content two nights in a row was probably the best part. Why I got so excited? Who knows, all I know is that I’ll be waiting at MacLaren’s bar in New York City October 12, 2016 for the incredible Barney Stinson.
