EDITION: U.S.
50 reasons to have sex
How I Met Your Mother: The Naked Man

(S04E09) I've never pulled The Naked Man (a pretty suggestive phrase all by itself) in order to salvage a date. I just never thought of it. Given what I saw tonight, though, I don't think it would have ever helped. I would have had to think of the excuse to get into the woman's apartment, wear clothes that I could remove and put back on quickly ... there's too many logistics involved.
This episode was just as silly as last week's, but for some reason, the silliness works this time around. Maybe because The Naked Man joke was something that was unexpected. Maybe it was the results that everyone got. Or maybe it was Lily's 50 Reasons To Have Sex (which, by the way, the folks at the show were nice enough to send us ... her napkin-scrawled list is after the jump). Or maybe it was the fleeting glimpse of the goat ... in 2009.
