“Puzzles” is Finally Open! Caleb Hamilton, January 2, 2012January 3, 2012 During tonight’s episode of How I Met Your Mother, Ted and Barney spontaneously decide to open the bar, Puzzles, which they discussed (while drunk) back in the 2009 episode, “Three Days of Snow”. When they open it in Ted’s apartment, hilarity ensues. If the episode itself isn’t funny enough for you, a Puzzles website has been launched which you’re sure to get a few laughs out of. Check out some the features after the jump!The homepage of the Puzzles website features various photographs of Barney posing with random women and Ted looking scholarly while holding a copy of James Joyces’ “Ulysses”. You may also read the bar’s mission statement written by Ted, with some additions by Barney. Also, the bar’s theme song (written by none other than Ted and Barney) plays (perhaps as sort of a homage to Cheers).There are also pages dedicated to the calendar of activities (below; click to enlarge) and the bar menu. Hopefully as the year goes on, this calendar is updated with more activities. Personally, I’d love to attend one of Ted’s discussions of the history of karaoke.How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays at 8 PM on CBS! Viral Marketing CBSHow I Met Your MotherWebsite
