Jordie.
And I don't know the bonus question.

Whoops, double post

Very good. Your question. I'll leave the bonus out there, if anyone wants it, though

In season 3, Chandler picks up smoking again (again, again). Rachel buys him one of those tapes that helps you stop smoking through hypnosis. They thought it was to stop Chandler from smoking, but what did it really do to Chandler?

Didn't it give him subliminal messages about...something else? I'm sorry I can't be more specific?

OK so I know it doesn't really count for anything but I'm wondering about the bonus anyway...the answer was I think...they were going to name the baby Jamie but that was the name of Susans first girlfriend?

And i think the answer to the new question is that the tape basically turned Chandler into a strong independent woman or something like that?

very good, KatieSays, well, for my part, anyway. I can't imagine that sadistikdreams is going for anything more specific than that, but it's not my question :). You got my bonus, though.

yup, you're right, KatieSays.
You're up!

i think katiesays is passing.....????

Whoops. Too tired.

yep, it's time for a new question. Someone toss one up.

KatieSays, I know you joined after the thread started, and there are a few new players here, so, just to keep everyone informed, if a new question hasn't been posted 24hrs. after confirmation of a correct answer, it's anyone's turn to post one.

Just basically trying to tell you that we're not cutting you off - this just keeps the game moving. :)

what did ross say to blow it with Janine?

We're "interfacing"

What do Ross and Monica do on Dick Clark's New Year's show?

make fools out of themselves

hah, well said. They do "the routine."

. . . waiting for confirmation . . .

I'll offer confirmation on that.

sweet deal

Name one instance where Rachel has acted like a mother to the other friends (quotes work, too).

When she tells Joey that he needs to get the second bidder on the boat to buy it.

Does that count or does it have to be when she acted as a mother to all of them?

Thanks for informing me of the rules. As it says below my member name I am a Rookie.
I'm a college student and this weekend was very hectic preparing for finals and all so I didn't get a chance to come on and ask a new question. I'm sorry if i left anyone hanging and I'm glad you moved on without waiting for me. In the future I won't post if I know I won't be able to post a new question in the next 24 hours. Again I am sorry.
Also if someone can help me out...how do you post those blue box quote things?

You can click on the QUOTE button to quote somone directly (or use the quickquote to post multiple quotes) or you can use (quote) text (/quote) replacing the parentheses () with brackets [].

This would get you

Yeah, guess that'd work too. At the time, I was thinking of either or the following two times (though since then, I've come up with a few more):

a) When Ross and Monica are fighting because he's there too much ("Now, I'm going to go take a nice, long bubble bath, 'cause you two kids are driving me crazy!").

b) In The one where They All Turn Thirty, when Joey takes her scooter to play outside ("Whatever, I'm not your mother . . . But don't ride in the street!").

As it turns out, that question was a lot more open-ended than I thought :). At any rate, your turn, onetime2.

KatieSays, don't be sorry, and don't worry about posting when you're not going to be here, chances are, someone else will know the answer or be able to look it up if we're waiting for confirmation.

You could also do what kulrblind has done a few times, and that's to post the answer up with a spoiler tag to it. The form for that is (spoiler) the answer (/spoiler) (with the parentheses taken out and replaced with square brackets), and it's quite handy.

Hope your finals are going well. I feel your pain, being in them right now, myself. Good luck.

Ok sorry to take up MORE forum space with useless non-friends trivia but I just wanted to try that stuff out.

Spoiler: thanks for the help onetime2 and teph

there ya go. :)

Good job. You're now a TFP pro. :D

Alright here's my question:

Why doesn't Phoebe like PBS?

taking a shot...
something about how she used to watch Sesame Street and then when her mom killed herself she wrote them a letter and they sent her a keychain

Almost but not quite.

because no one wrote her back, they just sent her a keychain, and she was living in a box at the time and didn't have any keys.
Spoiler: Ifucking hate spoilers

Spoiler: what's wrong with spoilers, moonstrucksoul? can't resist the click? ;)

Your question mss.

ok


what did ross do while he was high?

blamed it on Chandler, for one thing

there's something else specific that Ross did............

Microwaved a bunch of his dad's records. He wasn't that good at handling his high.
Correct?

Well, when his "getting high" confession came out, that's when the Geller parents found out that Monica was living with Chandler.

I don't remember any actual "while he was high" hijinx...

If a question needs to be asked... How many actual parents (of the six main characters) have we seen on-screen?

I don't think a question does need to be asked, but I think the answer is all of them. 10. Jack and Judy Gellar we've seen many times, we've seen Chandler's mom a few times and his dad (as played by Kathleen Turner) at least once. Pheobe's dad we've seen at the funeral, and I know Teri Garr wasn't at first her biological mother, but then she was(I think?), so that's both of hers. We saw Rachel's mother and father at Rachel's birthday party (though they never saw each other) and we saw Joey's dad when he was having an affair, and Joey's mom later in the episode. So it's either 9 or 10, depending on the Teri Garr question. But I'm still waiting on confirmation on my stoner Ross answer.

kadath got it!

Woo.
When Chandler and Joey lose Ben, how does Ross know something bad happened?

"Hey, why does it say property of (human resources) on his butt?"

think it was human resources . . .

I call that close enough. I think it was Municipal Services or something, but I'm not interested in quibbling. Ask!
