We’ll get to the important ’90s alt-rock blowjob news soon, but first, this:
[How I Met Your Mother co-creator Craig] Thomas won’t divulge whether the extra year altered plans on how HIMYM would introduce the mother: “That’s one of the few remaining tricks up our sleeves.” But he promises next year will look and feel much different from past seasons: “It’s going to be a new way to tell the story,” he says. “You’re never going to mistake a Season 9 episode from one of the previous eight.” (Via)
So, either Jason Segel in blackface for 22 episodes, or the mother might be revealed in the season eight finale. Either works. Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff: Robin Sparkles made her grand return in last night’s excellent all Canada everything episode, “P.S. I Love You,” with appearances from Alex Trebek, Alan Thicke, Jason Priestly, Luc Robitaille, Paul Shaffer, Geddy Lee, K.D. Lang, Steven Page (sorry), and Dave Thomas, as well as Dave Coulier, best known as the guy who Alanis Morissette went down on once in a movie theater, as documented in “You Oughta Know.” Also, he was Uncle Something-or-Other on a TV show. Mama’s Family, maybe?
The setup: on the show-within-a-show, Behind the Music-spoof Underneath the Tunes, various Canadians are asked about their romantic relationship with Sparkles, including Meta Coulier, who said:

Good on Coulier to acknowledge the rumor, though only Larry David knows for sure if he’s lying or not.



Someone has too much time on their hands: [joshpatten.tumblr.com]
This stuff with the Dave Coulier. You’ve gotta cut. it. ouut.
I’d like to give a shout out to my main homey Hern Burferd.
If there isnt a Robin Sparkles 5, where its basically full circle with a new hit song or a mini tour, like the vast majority of 80s artists who have enjoyed a sort of renaissance in the past 10 years, then the whole Robin Sparkles story arc is for nothing. I NEED to see adult Robin doing Robin Sparkles songs!!!!
Oh snap. That’s like a straight up Arrested Development meta joke. Well done, show I never watch!
I would imagine that next season get partly told from the mother’s point of view “How I met your father” That would make it drastically different.
LETS GO TO THE MALL!!!
This was the first time in a while since I’ve watched the show. I’m not sure if I enjoyed it because of Canadian nostalgia or if it was actually decent (for newer HIMYM episodes).
I will say this. The show would have been perfect if a Vancouver native like Robin Sparkles had a restraining order on then Vancouver Canucks Captain (and heart throb) Trever Linden. Paul Schafer was kind of a cop out.
Fun fact: The Grey Cup in 1996 was one of the best games in the history of football, regardless of league.
Why won’t we ever mistake a Season 9 episode for the any other season? HIMYM is going to Nikki and Paolo on Season 9. [www.tv.com]
I am ok with this theory
robin actually looked hot as a goth wannabe
