rashaka: I just had the weirdest thought. A fun way to describe tBBT might be to say...

rashaka: "Okay, imagine How I Met Your Mother. At the McLaren's bar, Barney is at the table when some hot, young blond who wasn't the brightest crayon in the box last night (she slept with Barney after all) storms up to their table trying to beat Barney with her purse. She gives him one really great black eye and storms right back out, still raging.

Most stories you're thinking of start at this point with Barney gossiping about that girl to his friends, and Robin and Barney flirting, and Marshall and Lily being adorable, etc. etc. But this time it's a little different. Instead of lingering at the booth, the camera follows the blond bimbo out the door of the McLaren's bar, into a taxi cab, and picks up again 3000 miles later. The blond bimbo--who's not that stupid, really, she just likes sexy guys and wasn't prepared for the total jerkwad who seem SO NICE BEFORE WHEN HE COMPLIMENTED HER SHOES...anyway, it's mostly not her fault. She had a lot of rum at some point.

She steps off the plane, meets the moving truck with her stuff, and starts her new life in the Golden State. She is going to be AN ACTRESS! It's totally rad and absolutely going to happen!

When she gets to her new apartment she meets a couple of Beautiful Mind-geeks across the hallway, and THEY TOTALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND HER. Because they're genius aliens or something... she feels sorry for them, but what's she to do? She can't help it if she's hot.

Sometimes it almost feels like her life has become a Friends spin-off, or something. A Friends spin off set in Hollywood. Sooooooooooooo WEIRD. But hey, at least it's sunny!

rashaka: ...

rashaka: And then they make it a sitcom.

irrel: That works so well it's almost scary.

So that's my hypothesis on the origin of The Big Bang Theory. True story.
