Interesting! So Mel introduced Ted to the group.  I wonder what Mel and Ted living together was like? that living situation must have had some weird dynamics.

I have conflicting views of Teds character on the show.  I liked his wit but I hated how sorry he felt for himself.  He was talented and smart guy who should have felt like he had more to offer.  Having a relationship fail like it did with Bill and moving home under less than ideal circumstances would have contributed to his woe is me attitude. 

Interesting take on the Brian-orgy-taxes situation. It always seemed to me that Brian wasn't telling the whole truth.

Thanks for the story and keep them coming!

Glad you liked it! 

I made the Mel and Ted decision off of the times they went out together, just the two of them. They were shown going to the movies and out walking together several times so I wondered about their bond. I figured there might be a story there and just went with it. 

I feel similarly when it comes to Ted. It's sad that he had a low self-esteem. He's good looking and smart. I hated how he treated Emmett when he became addicted to crystal meth and the whole bleached hair and plastic surgery storyline of season 5. 

I always wanted to know more about what happened about the orgy Brian mentioned. I still want to know lol. So I came up with this to try to ease my curiosity.
