27 hours left! Wait, what? The wedding is tomorrow? Why is no one acting like the wedding is tomorrow? Why am I freaking out about this wedding more than the characters? Anyways, here are 27 thoughts for my lovely readers on this not-so-lovely episode.
1. “And I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more…” I love this song. It’ll be stuck in my head all week, and I don’t even mind. Totally a road trip classic.
2. Confession: I’ve never been on a road trip.
3. Baby Marvin is driving the car! That’s cute and made me giggle.
4. According to Barney, marriage is “just a piece of paper.” I know Robin is supposed to be the chilliest girl ever, but she should probably have freaked out about that. (Or about anything, really. Does she know she’s getting married tomorrow?)
5. Robin never really seemed to have any reservations about this marriage, which to be honest is weird. Your fiancé has had over 200 sexual partners! Now would be the time to get cold feet.
6. Why hasn’t Barney freaked out about marriage at all?
7. There was a comment about strawberry warming gel, which I’m embarrassed to say I had to Google.
8. Why couldn’t he just say lube?
9. I also Googled “zippered masks.” I highly discourage checking out the Google Images results for this one. They are all weird.
10. Like super weird. And they will probably give me nightmares.
11. Ahh, the reference to the pineapple incident. If only it had been resolved. Still so curious about that one.
12. The 1950s-style family scenes in black and white were cute. The singing made them cuter. I was into it.
13. Ranjit has the ability to control cell reception?! He always was the coolest character.
14. New abbreviation everyone should use: “deep tish” (as in deep tissue massage).
15. Rastafarian guy on the beach with a giant lavender squid? No way squids are that color in real life. (Thank you again, Google, for confirming this.)
16. No wonder this road trip is taking forever! Marshall is having Daph pulled over for tickets all the time. Then again she’s going 67 so shouldn’t they be moving pretty fast?
17. Why would you put oranges on the roof of a car? Why do they have that many oranges? Totally didn’t get this part.
18. How many 30-year-old bottles of Glenn McKenna do they have?
19. After Ted thought Lily spilled the ink she did a really strange thing with her eyes while staring into the camera.
20. ZABKATAGE
21. That had to be it’s own number because it was just too much to handle. In the most horrible way.
22. Whoever came up with “Zabkatage” and that entire plotline needs to be fired.
23. Immediately.
24. Who doesn’t want their own operational Death Star? Amen, Barney.
25. Apparently in the 80s, people wore to movie premieres the same things that college students wear to 80s themed parties.
26. How did Jerry find Sheryl and Ranjit? (Did I spell Sheryl right?)
27. The preview for next week was all on rhyme. And that was the best part of the 22 minutes I wasted this evening. Look, a writer is trying to be clever!
