Come Away With me

Shhhh.. Don't speak till you read. Don't judge till you judge yourself.
Just a place for me to speak freely without anyone breathing down my neck
and just judging who I am and what I write about.
If you do have something to say nonetheless then I shall listen. :]

So Come Away With Me to my side of the story and hear me out.

The Best Burger in New York

A "burger-mad" Marshall is on a quest to find the place where he ate the first hamburger he ever had in New York.

Full Recap

Ted tells his kids how rundown NYC was when he first moved there. But then things started to change around his neighborhood when new businesses started popping up.

Barney arrives at the apartment wearing promotional clothes for a new bank called Goliath National Bank. Barney's company had just bought this bank. He tells Marshall that they are hiring in their legal department.

The crew meet at the bar. Robin is starving because she just finished a cleansing program. They stay at the bar and order burgers. The burgers all arrive; all except for Robin's, so she tells them to eat without her. They all make love sounds as they eat but Marshall just thinks that the burger is average.

Marshall tells his story about when he first moved to New York City. He was scared because he always thought he was going to be mugged. After Ted forced Marshall to go for a walk, he started exploring and realized it wasn't scary at all. He saw a place with neon signs that said "burger." Marshall noticed all the celebrities had eaten there, including Regis Philbin. After his amazing burger experience, Marshall had rushed home to tell Ted about the place. The two of them tried to find the place again but never did. Marshall tried numerous burger places in hopes of finding such a burger again, but it never happened.

One day, Barney told them that Regis works out at his gym. The three rush to the gym to find out the name of the burger restaurant. Regis cannot remember the name but does remember that he loved the burgers there. Regis gives Barney his cell phone number and tells the crew to call if they ever find out the name of the place.

As Marshall tells the story, Robin blurts that she walks by the neon red sign he mentioned everyday. Robin's burger finally is ready, but Marshall demands that they go right away to find the burger place.

Barney texts Regis to tell him that they found the burger place. Regis is in the middle of hosting a show when he gets the text and runs out of there in the middle of it.

At the restaurant, everyone's burger arrives at the same time, except for Robin's burger again. Marshall shouts that this isn't the place.

Everyone is getting annoyed with Marshalls's burger hype. They think that the burger cannot live up to Marshall's expectations now. Robin assures him that it's only a burger and he begs to differ.

Marshall leaves the restaurant in search of the real burger place. The crew realizes that this is no longer about finding the right burger place. Marshall needs to find a job.

Robin's food finally arrives but Lily confronts the waitress and the waitress says that the place was modeled after another place uptown. They run out of there, again without giving Robin the opportunity to eat. As the group head uptown, Regis calls Barney and they tells him to meet them uptown.

They arrive at the restaurant but find out that it has been replaced with a Goliath ATM. Lily blames Barney for this. She tells him that the his bank sucks. Marshall stops her and says that he took a job offer from the bank.

Robin is so hungry she starts eating things out of the trash.

Marshall tells everyone that he wanted to have that same feeling he had when he first moved to the city, when he had that first bite of that burger. His whole life was in front of him then, but now he is growing up.

A bystander overhears their convo and says that he knows where the burger place moved to. He says he will tell them for $100. They don't have any money and they end up using the Goliath ATM to take out cash.

They go to get burgers and it is exactly as Marshall remembers. Regis meets up with them too.

I watched this episode this afternoon and crave for burger straight away and I took my car keys and head down to the nearest McD outlet and got myself a McValue Lunch set of Double Cheese Burger and another beef burger! How I Met Your Mother is also funny for alot things. Once I start on a season I can't stop.

Like the Slapgivings from Season 3 Episode 9. Marshall has a countdown for slapping Barney on their Thanksgiving dinner. And Ted and Robin had this running joke and they were the only two people that found it funny. There are different circumstances in which they laughed and did a salute at any mention of military men, like generals or corporals because once you start, it is surprisingly hard to stop it seems. It works like this for example, everyone salutes when Ted says "major cleanup" and then when Robin says "general idea".

Its a show where I enjoy watching when its one of those days where I just wanna curl up in my bed and not leave my room to the extend of skipping dinner and my parents will question me and I said nothing. I'm craving for IKEA's Curry Puff and Hot Dogs they are great and cheap. Damn it. Been eating a lot since Uni started. I think its the depressing and emotional roller coaster I'm going on now. Lol. Btw, I love Vitagen. Been drinking them every night and day. My tummy isn't being a biatch anymore.

Still mad at myself
