Here's the thing. Also, this is kind of a rec.

I just watched this week's HIMYM for the second time. The secret Robin/Barney ship is so not a secret. There were glances. And physical closeness. And outright seduction on screen, only somehow none of the Trifecta noticed it

...dude, that story is titled from a song called "International Small Arms Traffic Blues." Just, for the record. Of awesomeness. In case you are not up on your Mountain Goats references.

[boundbyspells]

No, not up on my Mountain Goats references, but I insist on being educated now. :)

I don't have a copy of the song handy for uploading right now, but here's the second half of the lyrics, starting with the relevant line:

Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
Trucks loaded down with weapons
Crossing over every night
Moon yellow and bright
There is a shortage in the blood supply
But there is no shortage of blood
The way I feel about you baby can't explain it
You got the best of my love

It's off their album Tallahassee, which is a concept album about a codependent couple of alcoholics who move to Tallahassee together and go inexorably down in flames. (I spent much of season three of House thinking that it was the soundtrack to House/Wilson, if that reference helps.)

Um, but International Small Arms Traffic Blues is really one of the cheerier tracks! So hurray for your OTP!

[boundbyspells]

Huh. I'm gonna have to check that out.

In the fannish spirit of giving not only more than is asked for, but more than even a faint interest has been expressed in: Tallahassee! And it only took, like, a week.

[boundbyspells]

Tanx! I has now.

(I really need an icon that says "this comment brought to you by a LOLcats sensibility.")
