The story to the kids starts with the story of how Ted met Blah Blah (Abigail Spencer). Yes, it’s true, Future Ted (not to be confused with Future Dwight of Office fame) didn’t remember this girl’s name, so she went by Blah Blah in this story. Flashback a few minutes and Ted tells the gang that he met her online but Blah Blah will make up a story about some cooking class because she’s embarrassed. According to Barney, the only hot chicks that patrol the internet for dudes are crazy. And thus we are introduced to Barney’s Hot/Crazy scale. A beautiful Picture Pages-esque demo by Barney and we understand that the craziness of a girl can only be offset but her relative hotness. (Why do I feel like I’m writing a NUMB3RS recap right now?).

After Crazy Blah Blah tells her cooking story we are witness to the beautifully choreographed telling of the story of how Marshall and Lilly met. Didn’t we hear this story last year? I guess not. Then of course the real story is shown, not as AWW inspiring. Blah blah keeps telling more made up stories as Ted keeps trying to keep Barney from the Crazy Scale. Blahbie, as I’ll call her now, asks Robin how she and Barney met. After 16, yes 16 really, ‘no’s from Robin, Blahbie has issue with Ted being friends with such an attractive single woman. To try to difuse the situation, Ted jumps into the story of how he and Marshall met. Flashback to college and bad wigs. Blahzie then has more issue with Robin and Ted jumps into the story of how he and Barney met. Flashback to 2001. Not too different, other than the goatee on Ted. Yup, they met with Barney using Ted as a pickup line. Ted plays along and bam – big best friends. The real story, Ted wasn’t playing along all that well.
Barney, being annoyed by the memory of goateed Ted, spills the beans that they all knew about Blahzilla and Ted’s www.hookup. Then, to make it even better, Barney proceeds to tell the story of how Ted and Robin met. You know, that whole locked eyes across a crowded room that only happens in the movies thing. Robin awkwardly tries to say their relationship wasn’t that great, and Barney closes out the half with a Hot/Crazy scale update… Blah Blah is slowly sliding towards the crazy end of the scale. Ted mentions to Blahinator that the ‘aww’ story of Lilly and Marshall isn’t all that ‘aww-riffic’ but it’s a secret. Blahzeer whispers a story of what Ted will be allowed to do later tonight and as the scale goes off the chart into hotness, Ted spills the real truth about Lilly and Marshall. As Marshall is keg-standing, Ted and Lilly flirt and make out like crazy. But Marshall doesn’t know and Blahznini threatens to tell him if Ted doesn’t.
Blahbee asks Lilly to tell the story of how she met Ted. Lilly tells a story about Ted being with Marshall and Ted in love with a fake person called Karen. Apparently Lilly didn’t really know it was Ted. Quick Barney meets Marshall flashback where Barney refers to himself, not as Yoda, but as BROda. Blahlley comes back, tells Marshall about Lilly and Ted’s kiss. Marshall is pretty sure it was other they made out with in college. Blahabra storms off in a fit, finishing her crazy into the crazy side. Flash forward to 2020 at the reunion where Ted finally finds out it was other people they made out with.
Oh, the story of how Ted met Blazicca? They did meet online – playing World of Warcraft. Smooth Ted, real smooth.
