What to do when you get dumped by a ghost

Monday night's How I Met Your Mother was an instant classic, right up there with "Slap Bet." If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out. As funny as the episode was (including a funny and charming tag with an homage to NPH's previous show), I just spent the last 20 minutes listening to listening to a "song" on the website mentioned as a throwaway gag on the show, www.tedmosbyisajerk.com. The website was created by one of "Ted Mosby's" (really, Barney pretending to be Ted) one night stands, who was left the morning after with a Dear Jane letter explaining that Ted was a ghost. Who only appeared only once a decade. The website features the letter -- funny itself -- and has a 20 minute epic song performed by the wronged gal. It's like the Waitresses meet Frank Zappa. At first, it's just droning, hypnotic, desperate, bitter and bipolar. And that's before the Battlestar Galactica references and audible vomiting. Put it on in the background while you're surfing or doing something else, but be careful of the monitor and keyboard for spit takes.
