How I Met Your Mother

This writer's strike is really starting to mess with my weekly watching.
A few of my best shows have already started running re-runs.
So, it was with a sigh of relief- and literal thanksgiving, that I watched this new episode.

Anyway, this episode (http://www.cbs.com/innertube/player.php?cat=all&vid=&format=&auto=0) Marshall scares Barney by reviving the old slap bet that he had won- Marshall had the right to slap Barney one more time in life, without warning, open handed- and Marshal is teasing Barney with a website (www.slapcountdown.com) and alludes to 'Slapsgiving' instead of Thanksgiving and that this will be when he slaps him. And Barney thinks October has 30 days, so he's off on his count.

Also, the entire group is planning on hanging out for Thanksgiving.
Ted and Robin find they are having a hard time hanging out alone together now that they have broken up and moved on.
Marshall keeps teasing Barney- he makes the 'hand turkeys' and shows them to Barney...

Anyway, so Ted and Robin were supposed to make pies with everyone, but everyone else bailed, so its just the two of them- and after a getting into a huge fight, they end up sleeping together. They decide they have to stop pretending to be friends, and try to be normal again.
At the dinner, they accidentally reverted to their old inside joke, where they salute and repeat every time anyone says anything with an army reference (like 'major pain' or 'general knowledge'.)

Since Lily banned Marshall from slapping Barney because it was Thanksgiving, Barney starts teasing Marshall- and 5 seconds until the end of the countdown Lily snaps and revokes her ruling and allows Marshall to slap Barney!
Then Marshall sits down to the piano and sings this:
It's hilarious.
I really find this show refreshingly funny- hope they keep bringing new episodes, or that the writer's go back to work soon!!!
