himym is BACK, you guys. in case you didn't know.

So between last night's episode and the highly disturbing cut scene that fox1013 has provided, I just had this conversation with her:

pearl_o: Oooooh, Ted. Oh, Barney.
pearl_o: I kind of want to write a fic where Ted and Barney have a drunken threesome with a random chick, and it ends up all weird with them cuddling and spooning all night.
fox1013: *does not stop you at ALL*
pearl_o: Barney: It's not gay! It's not! It's just ... BROS. Two BROS with a CHICK.
pearl_o: Ted: silent stare.
pearl_o: Barney: This never happened.
fox1013: I just choked.
fox1013: <3
pearl_o: Wait, random choking, or me-inspired choking?
pearl_o: ....You injure yourself a lot.
fox1013: you-inspired! Although it did make a cookie go down a little wrong.

Uh, and then I told Fox my theory about how the slashiness in HIMYM kind of reminds me of the slashiness you find in Kevin Smith movies. Both of them have these really really tight male friendships, where these basically straight guys are close enough and love each other enough that you get that element of homoerotic tensions, except the guys are totally aware of it, too. Which is different, to me, than a lot of other forms of slashiness, and pretty awesome in its way.

I just watched Reaper Kevin Smith's new show and in it The Best Friend says to Lead Boy "I've never been so attracted to a man". Just thought you should know.
