Gunther is talking to himself, trying to get the confidence to ask out Rachel. In his head he practices what he would LIKE to say (funniest moment from the show!) Complete his thought, “Rachel if you are not doing anyhting later, maybe you’d like to go to the movies…” ---

**5. What kind of potatoes does Joey like at Thanksgiving?** Joey wants tater tots. Ross wants potatoes with lumps. Rachel, I think, wants peas and onions (?) in the mashed potatoes. **7. What do they make the Giant Poking Device out of? Who do they poke with it, and why?** The giant poking device is constructed of straws and leftover chopsticks, to poke the Ugly Naked Guy because they think he might be dead. \*\* What did Rachel make for Thanksgiving and what was so good about it, according to Joey.\*\* Rachel made… a kind of layered dessert. I forget exactly what. She mixed up the directions, though, and ended up putting a layer of beef and peas and carrots (maybe?) in along with the jam and pudding and all that. I don’t remember what Joey likes so much about it, but he eats all of it. Followup: According to Ross, Rachel’s dessert tastes like what? **6. What does Ross have on his checks?** I’m gonna go way out on a limb here and guess Dinosaurs. **What do Rachel and Phoebe call their brand of self-defense? What does Ross call his?** Ross’s is Unagi. Rachel makes fun of him by making the same hand motion, and saying “Salmon skin roll” **Where does Rachel buy a apothecary table, from the olden days?** Pottery Barn And now, some questions of my own: 1. What is Monica allergic to? And what can she not eat because of it? 2. How much does Ross get for the couch that he tries to return in two pieces? 3. What bothers Pheobe the most about the title of a play in which Joey is a certain famous psychiatrist? 4. How do Chandler and Joey get rid of Eddie? ---

> [@](#): > > Next Question: What are all the secrets revealed in the exchange that begins with the discovery that the underwear on the lines outside are Monica’s, from when she had sex with Fun Bobby? I can’t remember all of them, but two are that Joey made a porno (“There I am, there I am, there I am…”) and that Chandler has a third nipple. ---

After Joey and Chandler each try to convince her why she should name it after him, she decides to name it after Chandler. Baby Chandler turns out to be a girl prompting a kindergarten flashback from Mr. Bing. ---

I remember Chandler making this awful Photo Face every time they tried to take a picture, but I never saw the end of that episode… so I’m lost on the engagement picture question. Oh! Here’s a Bricker claim to fame: I have a picture of me touching tongues with the actress who played Jade, the woman who calls Chandler’s number trying to reach “Bob” - Chandler impersonates Bob on the phone, then shows up and consoles her after Bob stands her up! Details on request. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/move-over-simpsons-the-friends-trivia-thread/125326.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/move-over-simpsons-the-friends-trivia-thread/125326.md?page=5)
