The Barney Stinson Theatre Experience[]

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

As many of you know, I'm an art enthusiast, a patron if you will. Personally, I've sponsored many a dancer and it's been so stimulating to watch them achieve such new and flexible heights.

Recently, I turned my creative energy toward proving that playwriting is a cinch: in fact, with the lights off, anything can be a great performance. So may I humbly present to you excerpted selections from the Barney Stinson Theatre Experience (Copyright, 2007).

Love always,
The Bardney

ME (CONT'D)
Hear ye, hear ye! From this day forward, I do hereby declare, that the third Monday of every month shall be...
