Wow, you guys who didn't think it was realistic of women to make you throw away all your stuff from past lovers have never met a woman like . . . well, me. Yeah, I'm her, so what? I'm veeeeery jealous. Don't every tell me that your ex gave you something or it will mysteriously disappear, or break. I also don't want to know how many women you've slept with.
Yeah, there's some of us out there.

I don;t think that particualr point is unrealistic. My wife made me get rid of everything furniture wise I acquired with a previous long term GF. However, she did not at the same time try to keep 5 dogs given to her by other boyfriends. Surely, the most jealous woman knows to keep her mouth shut in that case.

DId that include the bed? I had a friend who had to get rid of his mattress when he got married.Lee L said:I don;t think that particualr point is unrealistic. My wife made me get rid of everything furniture wise I acquired with a previous long term GF.

I didn't think this ep was as outstanding as some of the others this season, but it was saved by the return of the Slap Bet as well as the hilarious mental imagery of the ex-girlfriends-as-household-items and ex-boyfriends-as-dogs.

Amongst the people I know, this is a pretty common request. And not always just the mattress, but the whole bed! It's a whole "sanctity of the marriage bed thing", blah blah blah. Whatever. So I did it with some other girls on the same bed. Big deal.Havana Brown said:
Yeah, it's hard to believe I'm still single.
It's actually about time for me to get a new mattress, so I will make sure and tell my next lady friend, "Hey, you're the VERY FIRST woman to sleep on my new bed."When during the show did the slap bet callback happen? I totally missed that, but I was doing email while watching last night.

Actually, that's not the part that I had a problem with, outside of the fact that most of that storyline was dull. It was entirely believable. The unrealistic part was Barney's play. Sorry, that entire half of the ep was too far out of any plausible reality to be funny for me, especially when put up against the Ted and Robin story. All those characters have to exist in one reality or the other -- something resembling real life or total farce -- for me to buy it. They can't be in both at the same time. That's why I cited Will and Grace as a show that never worked for me. From what I saw, Will and Grace themselves existed in some version of conventional reality. The other two characters (can't think of their names) were complete cartoons. The combination doesn't work.Havana Brown said:

I don't find it unrealistic that barney could put on a play like that. It may be a bit of a stretch that he could remember the whole 2 hours but I bet there are a lot of places in NYC where you can rent a stage. As for financial means he has shown himself to be pretty well off on numerous occasions.

The first 40 minutes of the play consisted of Barney saying the word 'moist'. How much is there to remember?TAsunder said:

Hah! When Marshall jumped on the stage I yelled "slap bet!" and my dogs jumped up and started woofing. My wife gave me one of those "oh ... my ... god... I married a geek" looks that only wives can deliver with such accuracy
I really enjoyed this--so many funny lines. The whole thing with Marshall's pants was priceless: "Bel Biv Devoe called--even they don't want those pants back!" "We even let you have a second chance; they didn't work with combat boots either!"
"I don't want to use some whore's face cream!" "Are we really going to do this? Yeah, I think we are ... we're moving in together!"

I've lived in Canada my whole life and I've never heard of Danby's or Grizzly Paw ice cream sandwiches (or whatever they were called).5thcrewman said:
I can't think of any "only in Canada" places with kitsch and crap on the walls (which was the reference she was making), so I guess they had to make one up.

I think it was actually "We even let you have an appeal; ..." keeping with the whole court thing.madscientist said:
And I liked the fact that they didn't telegraph the the slap bet by reminding people about it in a "Previously on How I Met Your Mother" segment.
On the other hand, I can see how that makes it much easier to miss since all Marshal says is "That's two". It was up to the viewer to remember that he'd won 5 slaps of Barney deliverable, without notice, at any time in the future.
