But if I could replace Ted with the doppelganger of Barney, and make it Barney and Barney, then that would be - what’s the word I’m looking for? Fantastic? Mythical? I don’t know, I’m sure a word would come to mind in the moment.

I could’ve gone nuts with names, but chose to stick with significant characters. Who would join you and Victoria on the tricycle?

Although Trudy was in the tricycle episode, I’d say Victoria is more significant…she was one of Ted’s longer girlfriends (compared to most that were one-episode ones.

I said Robin and Lily, but if Victoria were on the list it would be VERY hard to decide between two of them…I’d probably go Lily and Victoria, cause as said earlier, we know Lily is pretty kinky.

I think I read that if the show wasn’t renewed Victoria would’ve been the “mother”.

I’ve never watched the show, but it has Alyson Hannigan in it, right? Just sign me up for two of her.
