Future Ted says that Marshall's "sweeping declarations" typically don't work . Marshall receives a call from Garrison Cootes, a partner at one of the nation's largest environmental law firms . He tells Marshall that the company is "very interested" in Marshall's application for employment, and he will receive a job offer after the company completes an extensive background check . The danger of a background check concerns Marshall, who fears that a college - era video of him streaking through Wesleyan calling himself "Beercules", which is now available online, could result in Garrison's dropping the job offer . Marshall contacts the uploader, Pete Durkensen, an old college acquaintance, and asks him to remove the video . However, Marshall ends up getting drunk and streaking again, the effect of playing Edward Fortyhands with Pete, although Pete originally wanted to play Darts, and thus another "Beercules" video is uploaded . Pete's refusal to take it down prompts Lily to blackmail him with information that she claims to have received from women who dated him in college . Eventually, Garrison does see the video, but offers Marshall a job anyway; the video is not an issue with him . Later, Pete calls Marshall and offers to remove the video, but Marshall refuses . </P> <P> Thinking about a date with Nora, Barney appears to the gang in a leg cast and using crutches; he hopes to use these to gain Nora's sympathy .

Nora leaves, still angry at Barney for lying to her . To prove to Nora that he will never lie to her again, Barney vows not to leave the diner until she agrees to a second date . The gang eats at the diner nine hours later and sees Barney wake up . He refuses to make an order several times, and true to his word, does stay at the diner the whole time, which convinces Nora when she comes back . </P>
