How I Met Your Mother: "The Murtough List"

On the latest episode, Ted decides to add laser tag to his "Murtough List." This is a list of those things that he feels "he is just too old for this sh... stuff." In a flashback Ted shows several different things he has added to the list, like the infamous beer bong. Waking up verrry hungover, Ted decided to put together the list. Then of course, Barney, always worthy of a challenge, pledges to do everything on Ted's list in one 24 hour period. He rushes off to the bathroom and pierces his ear (which promptly becomes infected), sleeps over at a friend's on a borrowed futon rather than get a hotel room.

The next day Barney is a bit stiff and his ear is starting to ache, but he makes Ted promise to break into the laser tag place and toilet paper the joint (Ted immediately put laser tag on the list). Barney meanwhile helps friends move from their 6th floor walkup when they move in exchange for pizza and beer. Robin says she thought the "movers" were actually robbing the place because they were in such a hurry and left all the pictures on the walls. Barney meanwhile injures his knee.

All through this, Marshall is teaching Lily's kinder-tots how to play basketball (Lily sees this as prep work for when Marshall becomes a daddy). Marshall runs the kids ragged as her yells at them to shape up and be winners.

Barney attends an all-night rave with Lily as his witness ("Someone gave me some aspirin, but I don't think it was aspirin!" whimpers Barney). Marshall's team of under-sized ball players plays another school and gets beat severely, (53-0 by the first half). Marshall says later that the other team got even taller (you see huge players running around Marshall's rugrats). One even turned into a teen wolf (a la Michael J. Fox).

Barney in the end gives up on completing the Murtough list, but Ted convinces that they are really not getting old because "Murtough always said that he was too old for that stuff, but then he would go out and do more stuff." Ted tells Barney that they are going to T-P the laser tag arena and Barney cheers, then says "and then we go to the hospital" as he winces in pain.
