How I Met Your Mother, good stuff

I bought the first 3 seasons of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM from here on out) for $14 a piece at Best Buy. The first seasons are OK, but the show has progressed QUITE a bit to get where it is now. The first season has been decent, as I have been playing the first season DVD for the last 2 hours. Neil Patrick Harris is the greatest character in the history of sitcom. The parody of being a gay womanizer adds to the comedy. I was watching Band of Brothers up to this point, and that shit is AWESOME. I will loan it out for a dollar a day to friends and family. I really want to know who writes NPH's character Barney's material. He's like Charlie Sheen's character on Two and 1/2 men, but funny and with less spousal abuse, coke, and whores. Highly recommend HIMYM, I just started watching this season and got into it enough to buy the first 3 seasons.

I currently finished reading Instant Replay, the Jerry Kramer first hand account of the Packers 1967 season, including THE ICE BOWL, and winning Super Bowl II. Pretty awesome stuff hearing from Kramer about Lombardi and the other famous Packer greats. It's written in diary form and if you are a Packer fan, especially old enough to actually remember the stuff, it will be AWESOME for you. It's a little tough to follow sometimes not knowing some of the players by first name, though there's a complete chart at the beginning of the book that I was simply too lazy to keep referring to, but by the end of the book I pretty much knew what was going on. Greatest gift idea in the world for anyone living in WI and has parents over 50 years old.

Weak post again, just didn't really have much to go on.
