We’re saddened at the departure of How I Met Your Mother but we’ve had nine seasons that’ve brought us good times at MacLaren’s with our favorite sitcom group of friends, new catchphrases (Legendary!), life theories (the Bro Code!) and had us eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Mother (Cristin Milioti) who did not disappoint. Let’s say farewell to our whiskey swilling, laser tag playing, red cowboy boot wearing group by looking back at their high school pictures. Sadly, none of them had a goth phase like Lily Aldrin.

Snakkle has delicious Before They Were Stars pics of the blazing hot cast of HBO’s True Blood, which will be returns for it’s final season tonight. Those boys certainly don’t like wearing their shirts—not that we mind.
