Quote from Barney in Three Days Of Snow
Barney: Ted, what the hell is the matter with you? We're not gonna go see them play. Ted: Why not? Barney: If we see them play, we're no better than the bleach-blonde bimbos who flash their boobs at a Van Halen concert. Ted: Yeah, but don't those girls get to have sex with Van Halen after the show? Barney: If you want to have sex with Van Halen, do it on your own time, Ted. We are not the maybe-we-can-come-see-you-play guys. We're the other guys, the older guys who never showed up and whose approval they now crave. Ted: So we're their dads? Barney: Exactly. Ted: Okay.
