To say the least I was having a crappy week…but on Friday something cool happened that made my month. Seems BAI got linked in a USA today pop candy blog article. Much thanks to Whitney Matheson for the link, I especially loved the “ridiculously detailed blog post” link tag (thought I wonder how often that gets searched on Google). Barney’s Office Posters are now getting some well deserved attention and the extra traffic made my weekend look like a good week!
Since I got some nice link love I thought it would be cool to give back to those who have linked me recently. Thanks to you all.
B squared – At first, I thought what do Barney’s posters have to do with Math? Either way I was elevated from my pop candy status of ”ridiculously detailed blog post” to “quality blog post". Thanks!
How I Met Your Blog - One of my favorite How I Met Your Mother blogs was also cool enough to find my hours of research useful and encourage his readers to check it out as well. If you remember howimetyourblog.com was one of the first to show the Awesomeness Poster some link love. Thanks for your help!
Barney’s office poster also got dugg (though not even remotely popular there thanks to both people who dugg it!) and stumbled. Anyone wanting to add to those would be greatly appreciated.
Stranger in a Strange Land - Though I’m not completely sure what he is saying (blog in Italian I think…I’m no linguist) they seems to enjoy the conformity poster. Thanks!
365 Days to Greener You - Who knew that being green could include George Costanza’s answering machine message? Very cool.
Thanks to you all and happy blogging!

It appears that men everywhere are “potentially” in trouble now because passing gas can now land you in jail with a battery charge. I hope my wife doesn’t get wind of this… Maybe we should just have this surgeon look into things for the authorities.
Also speaking of less air pollution, it looks like Bette Midler she will be quitting touring in order to help save the planet. I completely support Bette in her decision and agree that the less of her music there is out there the better off our planet will be! Maybe some other stars will follow suit. I could list a few, but I digress.

With the Season 4 premier of How I Met Your Mother tonight the interweb is all a buzz with news from the cast and various other places. All in all, there is a lot to digest even before the show airs. One interview I thought was quite interesting and something you shouldn’t miss came from the Boston Herald.
Sarah Chalke had some interesting things to say about her on air relationships as Stella on HIMYM and as Dr. Elliot Reed on Scrubs. First off on HIMYM, there has been a lot of speculation that she could be “the Mother”…you know my reason for disagreeing because of the name Tracy theory and the article on what we do know about the mother. Luckily for me (hooray), Sarah seemed to agree saying:
“I don’t think I am, I have no idea, but I think that show is going to go on and on, and I think there are many stories left to be told.”
On the Scrubs frontier, there is the always present Elliot and J.D. story…For seven years We’ve been watching J.D. “pine after Blonde Doctor, and I gotta tell you, everyone is sick of it — Will they? Won’t they? Looks like they’re going to! Oooh, the last second, something might– oooh oooh oooh! Come on! Enough already!” (the Janitor is so right!)
When Sarah was asked, if she is rooting for J.D. and Elliot to reunite? She says:
“I’m a romantic,” she said. “I think they should end up together.”
Well, I will have to stick with the Janitor on this one…even if I am in the minority. Though, she also says she would like to stick around on Scrubs even if Zach Braff leaves at the end of this season as reported, so I’m not sure how that would work out.
Thoughts on either relationship? Share them below…

I realize that Hurricane Ike cause some damage and that is no laughing matter; however, while reading one of my favorite roller coaster blogs I came across this picture from near the Boardwalk Bullet Amusement Park in Houston Texas:
Maybe after a hurricane this is honestly the best thing to do.
Some humor, some sadness and a lot of water.
