Storyline

Ted is relating to his kids the story of a woman he met over the Internet in 2007 whose name he no longer remembers, so refers to her only as "Blahblah". Before meeting her, Barney believes Blahblah is probably crazy as are all women prowling the Internet for a hook-up, but that she is probably hot to overcome that craziness. After the gang meets Blahblah, Barney's assertions are strengthened. But in getting to know Blahblah and Blahblah getting to know everyone else, the gang discuss the first time each met the other. Lily and Marshall have told their story so often that they have it down to a fine art. But everyone else's story may have the same basic structure from both parties involved, but it's the subtleties that seem to differ. The story of Ted and Lily's first meeting is especially troublesome, and the true details which may never be totally known unless an impartial third party who may have been more lucid at the event comes forward.

Goofs

When Barney first draws his Hot/Crazy scale, he places two X's in the blank chart. Moments later, when he draws a line connecting them to the origin, the X's are in different positions AND have rotated to match the angle of the line.

Best Episode Ever

To say that this episode is the best episode ever is a BOLD statement. How i met your mother is brilliant. but this episode surpassed it's greatest moments.

Barney's Hot Crazy scale!!!. the Vicky Mendoza diagonal. the introduction of Blah blah. Quote - Barney - "let's see how the night is going *draws cartesian plane*. as the night has gone on she has gotten crazier but no hotter...and is now dangerously close to the Shelly Galezby corner. she gained 10 pounds and tried to kill me with a brick." That is just brilliant.

c'mon
