Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, back in the fall of 2007, I was dating this girl named... Oh, God, what was her name? It's been 23 years, I can't remember all this stuff. For the sake of the story, let's call her...
Ted: Everyone, this is Blahblah.
Blahblah: Please call me Blah.
Marshall: So, Blah, how did you two meet?
Blahblah: Well, I was taking this cooking class, French fusion, and everyone already had a partner but then I looked up, and across a crowded room, I saw Ted. It was magical.
Ted: It was so magical. [Ted and Blah kiss]
Future Ted: [v.o.] Except it wasn't.
