While it's true that a decision has yet to be reached on the fate of 'How I Met Your Mother,' if the current season will represent the last for Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshall and Lily, or if the series will continue on into a ninth, and then-final season, the stakes grow higher and higher with each episode.  All week long we've been showing you how 'True Blood' star Joe Manganiello's character Brad has caused ripples with his return, but are you ready for tHe most literal ripples of all?  Ladies, can you handle a clip of Joe Manganiello with his shirt off for "Twelve Horny Women?"

Monday's all-new 'How I Met Your Mother' episode "Twelve Horny Women" certainly has a bit of buzz going for it, as CBS has released yet another clip highlighting Marshall's biggest environmental law case to date.  Said case pits him against his law school chum Brad (Joe Manganiello), who last week was revealed to have duped him into giving up his strategy against Gruber Pharmaceutical, but what does Brad himself plan to do?

Why, exploit his rippling physique, of course!  Our latest look at Monday's "Twelve Horny Women" is our most pandering to date, as Manganiello's Brad plays to the jury in his defense efforts.  Check out the new clip below, and tell us what you think of the current season of 'How I Met Your Mother' in the comments!
