How I Met Your Mother launches charity aucton


There's was a good reason for watching 'How I Met Your Mother' Monday night other than to see Britney Spears reprising her role as Abby, the receptionist who may or may not be Barney's next conquest. On the episode called Everything Must Go, Lily and Marshall face their financial troubles head on. With Marshall out of his evil corporate job, their future tied up in an apartment that's in desperate need of renovations because it was built on an incline, and Lily's credit card debt nearly $100,000, the Eriksens are in trouble. It's been building for weeks and it reaches a boiling point tonight when they realize everything must go.They set up an online auction at a site called lilyandmarshallselltheirstuff.com. The twist here is that the website auction is for real, reports USA Today (sorry, no link... the story is only in the print edition). The creators of the show have set up the site and will raise money for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles by selling Lily and Marshall's props and costumes. The auction site will last two weeks. The site is part of charityfolks.com and you can register now to take part once it goes live this evening.This is a win-win for fans of the show. You can, perhaps, grab a cool collectible from one of the best comedies on TV and do something nice for charity, too. I know that Lily has been buying all that designer stuff but that just isn't my thing. Unless it's really cool, then I must have it!

As I've already mention, there is no link so please type in lilyandmarshallselltheirstuff.com to get to the website. Thank you!


Cheers!
