> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by BiblioCat \* > “Be your Own Windbearer” (Or, according to Rachel, it could have been called “Be Your Own Windbearer, Rachel”, but then, acoording to Phoebe, it woudn’t have sold a millon copies. 😉 )_\* Actually, it was “Be Your Own Wind_keeper_.” Also, it was _Richard_ who said “I’m a whole person who can drink older than you.” The Soapie is the 3rd most prestigious award. Monica almost killed Ross with the kiwi in her kiwi-lime pie. That’s what makes it so special. Some new questions: What is Joey’s ATM PIN? As a bonus, what’s so funny about it? What does C.H.E.E.S.E. stand for? What was the name of Rachel’s soft core porn novel she started to write? ---

**Name three materials used by Monica to fashion a foreskin for Joey.** Bologna, fruit roll-up, and fur. (Well, technically the fur was really for her.) **What is the name of Rachel’s childhood dog?** Le Poo. **What did Rachel make for Thanksgiving and what was so good about it, according to Joey.** A traditional English trifile, but with a little shepherd’s pie thrown in. I may be misremembering the line slightly, but: “What’s not to like? Ladyfingers? Good. Jam? Good. Beef? Gooooood!” **What’s the name of Rachel’s bridesmaid, who later marries Barry?** Mindy. I can only think of two of the triplets’ names. –Cliffy [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/move-over-simpsons-the-friends-trivia-thread/125326.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/move-over-simpsons-the-friends-trivia-thread/125326.md?page=4)
