TV - Canadian Ooted on How I Met Your Mother

On Monday's How I Met Your Mother, Ted asks Robin why she doesn't have plans for the US Thanksgiving.


Robin: I'm Canadian, remember? We celebrate Thanksgiving in October.

Ted: 'Oh right I forgot. You guys are weird. You pronounce the word 'out', 'oot'.

Robin: You guys are the world's leader in hand gun violence; your health care system is bankrupt and your country is deeply divided on almost every important issue.

Ted: '[pause] Your cops are called 'mounties'.



Cobie Smulders, who plays Robin, is indeed a Canuck.

And for those that want to know, here is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris)'s recipe for a Thankstini. It comes courtesy of
Barney's Blog, an official blog on the CBS website, written by the character of Barney. He refers to it or ideas he's posted in a few episodes. It's a really interesting tool for writers to flesh out the character by writing in his "voice".

Thankstini
1 part Vodka
2 parts Cranberry juice
1 Boullion Cube (chicken)
