BEST BUDS

Yesterday's blog ended with a Mr. T reference. Confession: I have never actually watched anything WITH Mr. T. The only way I know that "I pity the fool... " line is from Friends. Watch the plot thicken as Chandler receives a bracelet from Joey and then he makes fun of it. ((Mr. T at 2:45))

Best Friends Forever!

"Friends: The ones you can get mad at only for a short period of time because you have important stuff to tell them". Fact. This got me to thinking all th times the friends character got in spats but quickly made up* because after all, they're FRIENDS! (*not counting the "we were on a break" fiasco because that one is better swept under the rug).

-Phoebe is mad at Ross but doesn't remember why
-Monica is mad at Rachel for going on a date with Jean Cluade van Damme
-Ross is mad at Joey because he accidently proposed to Rachel (resulting in a broken hand and nose for Ross)
-Joey is mad at Chandler for kissing his girlfriend so he makes him get in a box.
-Rachel is mad at Ross ... for all kinds of stuff.
-Chandler is mad at Joey for stealing his chair. "I better not do any LUNGES!!"

The list goes on and on, but they always make up :)

Remember to get your tax-free shop on this weekend!

"I Didn't have KEYS!"

After work everyday I take the DoD bus to the Pentagon to catch a ride home with a slug (if you're not from Northern VA I dont' expect you to know what that is but do know it has nothing to do with the gastropod.) Anyway, the DoD route goes by a PBS building everyday and it always reminds me of the one where Phoebe hates PBS. Which leads me to ponder Joey and Phoebe's conundrum: is there such a thing as a self-less good deed?! Happy friends watching this weekend!

It's a Regatta Gala

With all the Regatta action from last weekend I decided two things. 1. I really like the word regatta (I put it on my list of words I like... right after leviathan) and 2. it reminded me of Friends when Rachel is trying to play hard to get so she when she answers the door to decline a date she says she's going to a gala. "What kind of gala?" he asks. She responds, "a regatta gala".

I know what you're thinking. It's scary I can remember every line from memory (and not just Friends episodes... when I couldn't fall asleep I would start reciting the lines to the Emperor's New Groove in my head...) I was scared too until I realized it was a gift. Working on how to turn this talent into a future career...

Anyway, with the infinite amount of youtube videos it's hard to believe there isn't a clip for every Friends moment. This particular moment takes place in the episode "The One Where Ross Moves In". Naturally I watched that youtube video looking for the regatta gala part. And while I couldn't find that, I found this gem. Which reminded me of this one!

The One With the Breast Milk...ew.

I was reading some stupid blog about this guy eating all kinds of weird and nasty foods the other day and in one he takes on breast milk. If I could spare you the horror of such childish antics I would. However it is relevant to today's post! It reminded me of the Friends episode where Ross drinks the breast milk

Which then led me to think of The One Where No One's Ready because the cast is drinking weird stuff again! This time on accident- baking fat.

Also! I was replying to an e-mail the other day and the first line read, "So happy to hear from you, always a pleasure!" and for some reason it came out like this in my head. (at 24 seconds in the video.. ignore the language dub.. not even sure what language that is..)

The Friends Post

With the conclusion of the 365 Project I got to thinking: without the confines of the 365 project rules I can write about anything which spares you, the reader, the posts about nothing I just made because I had to put up a picture :)

And so, I'd like to introduce a topic I think with get a lot of use. The FRIENDS FRIDAY compilation. I'm a strong believer that everything in life has a Friends reference. Literally everything. I would say, "Oh gosh, that reminds me, have you seen that episode of Friends where...?" No! No you haven't because you're not obsessed like me. (unless your name is Eric, Ashley, Amanda, or Katelyn.)But we can change that :)
So you have one of two choices:
1. become a Friends extreme fan. (author recommended choice)
2. don't read my blog on Fridays because you won't think it's funny... This week's Friends references:
THE Eric Wagner is currently in London for a study abroad trip. LONDON BABY. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HBGJVXSzas
We made steak fajitas for dinner. (it's at the end of the clip...)

I ate a kiwi yesterday (which I'm mildly allergic to. You may be thinking, "what does that have to do with anything?" Read the title of the video and you'll see!!!)
