11.18.09 FABULOUS LINKS FROM NPH & TIM GUNN

Makin’ it work! According to Neil Patrick Harris’s Twitter feed (which I recommend), Tim Gunn on the set of “How I Met Your Mother” is the “best guest star EVER!” [@ActuallyNPH]

Six Awesome TV Characters Who Deserve Their Own Show. I agree; all of these characters are awesome, particularly Creed from “The Office” and Jane Lynch’s character in “Glee.” But part of what makes the characters so great is that we only get them in small doses. [Gunaxin]

Best. Tattoo. EVER. “I do say, old chap, I’m the deadliest creature in the sea. Champagne?” [Foggy Monocle via F Yeah Sharks]

The faces behind the voices of famous cartoons. Wait a second, Uncle Phil was Shredder?!?!? [Unreality Mag]

How to ensure your children give you the worst senior care possible: A Minnesota linguist spoke ONLY Klingon to his infant son for the first three years of his life to see if babies would learn Klingon like any regular human language. Wheeee! Babies are fun to experiment on! [boing boing]

Their parents probably taught them Klingon. A woman dressed as Pikachu accepted a marriage proposal from a man dressed as Raichu, which my nerd friends tell me is another kind of Pokemon. [Topless Robot]

‘Modern Family’ to get somehow even better. On the heels of the announcement that Ed Norton and Elizabeth Banks would both have guest appearances on the show, the newest addition to the extended family will be Fred Willard, perfectly cast as Ty Burrell’s father. [Fancast]
