Subject: Possible Buffy reference: use of the word "effulgent" in a sentence

I was checking out the section on CBS.com for the show How I Met Your Mother (which happens to feature Alyson Hannigan in a lead role) and came across a section where on of the characters has a blog posted. On "Barney's Blog", in reference to a line from the show, he says that women, like fish, are attracted to shiny or "effulgent" objects (thus explaining a horrendously shiny shirt he wore on the show). Another loser using the word "effulgent" in part of a plan to attract women; who does that remind me of?

For those interested, the blog can be found here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/how_i_met_your_mother/barneys_blog/

Be sure to check out his list of the 24 ways that women are like fish:

1. Both attracted to shiny objects
2. More fun to catch while drinking
3. Neither travel well
4. There's others in the sea and/or bar
5. Three words: catch and release
6. Both travel in protective groups
7. Small bladders
8. The deeper you go, the scarier they get
9. Their weight largely determines their value
10. [EDITED: My lawyer has requested that I remove this one from the blog… hint: crabs!]
11. They get all ornery if you try to grab their tail
12. Bears will eat either of them
13. Sometimes I likes 'em wild, sometimes I likes 'em farm-raised
14. You must document great catches or no one will believe you -- video preferred
15. Easier to reel in if you let them wear themselves out first
16. Seen the movie Splash? Case closed
17. Cold blooded. Looking your way, Stacy.
18. Neither can operate a vehicle
19. They both eat things
20. The harder they shake their tail, the farther they'll go in life
21. Scales are important to each of them
22. They never have to buy drinks
23. Umm… Eggs? Duh
24. Can hook either with a great line

Yeah, Barney makes Warren's views on female sexuality look almost healthy by comparison.
