Hey now! That’s what I did. I sent myself an email with the ones I knew right away. I should also give a little credit to my husband who was on the phone with me when I first saw the questions. He gave me a couple of answers too. When I got home from work, I did a little research on the ones I didn’t know. I did find out that I can watch the debate, talk on ICQ, participate in a chat, and look up Friends stuff. I’m one amazing gal!! LOL

Whoa! Go Jack. Either you’re a really hardcore “Friends” fan, or those lusciously super easy questions.

:slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile:

111

I don’t know if I’m a Friends fanatic. I do like the show. The thing is, I don’t have cable. Which makes for 5 channels to choose from. At 7:00 and 7:30 every night, they show the syndicated reruns. There aren’t any other shows on worth watching at that time of night, so I’ve seen every episode a dozen times. Plus I have a decent head for trivia, so it’s kind of stuck with me, or I’m stuck with it.
(Truth be told, I’ve got Google.com down to a science too)

The fish - I remember now. Eddie had asked where “Buddy” was when his ex-girlfriend brought over the fish tank. When he planted the Peperidge Farms fish in the tank, he called that one “Chandler.” Right?

112

**How can Monica afford that apartment? **
It’s covered under the Rent Stabalization Act of 1968 - rent control. Her grandmother lived in it, and still has her name on the lease.

**According to Ross, how do tailors measure pants in prison? **
The same way Joey’s tailor measures them now - specifcally the inseam. This was in response to Joey sending Chandler to his tailor, and the tailor feeling Chandler up as he measured the inseam.

**Who played Ross’s second mother-in-law? **
Jennifer Saunders, Edina from “Absolutely Fabulous.”

**What does “unisex” mean to Joey (2 answers) **
“Maybe you need sex, I don’t need it.”
“You and I sex? All right, let’s go.”

Questions I don’t know the answer to:

**How old is Ben now? **
Tough call, since TV time and real time don’t exactly track. But Carol’s giving-birth episode aired during sweeps week - May - in 1995. That would make Ben about five and a half now.

**What was the name of the actress who first played Ross’s first wife? **
Ah, yes. Just like they switched Dick Sargeant in for Dick York, and replaced Lecy Goranson with Sarah Chalke, they recast Carol. The first Carol was Anita Barone, who went on to play Karne on the “Jeff Foxworthy Show,” and who now has a part in the Michael Chiklis vehicle “Daddio.”

I remember Ross’s first wife’s life partner playing a different part. Does anyone else? If so, what was it?
On “Friends.” Jessica Hecht has only portrayed Susan Bunch. The only other thing I remember her doing was a role on Jonathan Silverman’s “The Single Guy.”

Since all of Sara’s questions have been answered, I believe the name you’re searching for to complete a certain question is “Ingrid Bergman.” But I could be wrong.

116

Yeah…I have cable but I have seen every episode thousands of times. <Sigh> i still remember when I first started watching the show. What do you think of the newer episodes? So different from the older ones. Courtney Cox really needs to gain some more weight.

Oops yeah, my bad. I meant the Peppridge Farm Fish, not the real one…the one that he puts inside his pocket…

117

No, no, no, she was not…the actress who played Joan, the gyn/ob who delivered Mabel (and was also Debbie’s lover…Debbie was Paul’s sister) is a different person. She now plays Robert’s ex-wife on “Everybody Loves Raymond.” I can’t remember her name offhand. She is definately older than Jessica Hecht.

Ok, here goes.
8. stealing someone else’s answer…Ingrid Bergman.
10. Chanel #5
15. His “sound”
Bonus Question. It was not the bridesmaid dress, it was whatever she had on at the rehearsal dinner. I’m guessing here…blue? brown?

118

OOOH! OOOH!

Jack, did you see it tonight? The 7:30 episode was the one where Ben is born, and Joey says he’s 25 to the other preganant girl’s (Leah Remini) mom on the phone, and Monica is talking to her mother and says something about being 26 and not thinking about babies yet on the phone.

God I’m pathetic.

119

Shit, sorry about that! I was so impressed too…guess I pulled that from my butt. :slight_smile:

Anyway…

KINSEY!
BRICKER! and
ZOGGIE!

all tie in their efforts to win my undying adoration and respect.

Thank you all for playing and please stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode.

120

Yes!! Thank you, thank you. :slight_smile:
