Good, **Susie**!  
Number 6. Yes, he bought the “V” volume. But which guy was it, Penn or Teller?

Number 9. Yes on _Weekend at Bernie’s_, but, no, not \* Room With A View\*.

Number 13. Not quite what I was going for. That’s how they _kept it_ after they got it back. How did they get it back?

Danny, who was the Yeti-looking guy that Monica and Rachel fogged in the basement, and who rachel dated for a couple of episodes.

I see! They swapped them back while the guys were at a Nicks (?) game. It was Phoebe’s idea.

I _really_ don’t know Penn from Teller, sorry! 🙂 And I see now that the answer to number 9 is Dangerous Liasions.

No on both. The girls **kept** the apartment by kissing each other, but how did they get it back in the first place?

Not quite on #16. The eyelash curler tipped him off, but there was a different event that caused him to put two and two together. Chandler mentioned it to Joey in regard to his weekend, and then he heard Monica mention the same event to Phoebe.

Well this time I’ll try to get in before anyone else answers. This is a fast moving thread.

The chick, I believe, was named Yasmine (after Yasmine Bleeth of Baywatch) and the duck was named Duck.

The zoo one has me totally stumped. I have no idea what that is about.

Joey’s dad’s girlfriend is either a dog groomer or a pet mortician. I remember Joey’s mother called her a “poodle stuffer.”  
I asked what Ross chased the breastmilk with. Hint: It was a specific type of cookie.

How many women in Rachel’s room gave birth before her?

1. How many kinds (and what types) of potatoes did Monica make for Thanksgiving in “TOW Underdog Gets Away” ? Which Friend wanted which type? Be specific.
2. What was wrong with Monica’s boyfriend Ethan?

Oh, and The Geller Cup was a troll doll nailed to a board.

Donald Trump _and_ eyelash curlers.

Hint: It’s Joey testing out a word.

These were all answered. The potatoes were lumpy for Ross, lumpy with peas for Phoebe, and Tater Tots for Joey.

The problem with Ethan was that he was in high school. “Ooooh, I’m a senior. In high school.” She thought he was in college.

And the Geller Cup was indeed a troll doll nailed to a board that they played for each Thanksgiving. Ross thought it had been thrown in the lake, but Monica had it. They weren’t allowed to play football anymore, after a particularly nasty year.

Yes and yes. Phoebe said the exclamation point scared her.

And it was both of them mentioning Donald Trump that made Joey realize they were together. One of the best moments of the show, IMO. He’s sitting there, being Joey, and you see him make the connection. “Oh! Oh! You! And you!” And they drag him off into the bedroom.

Nitpicks:  
**Miss** Chanandeler Bong (not Mrs.)

I believe the spelling would be Regina **Phalange** (as in _phalanges,_ plural of _phalanx,_ a finger or toe joint.

New questions:

1. What name did Phoebe sign for Monica’s racecar bed? (Not “Regina P.”!)

2. To what song did Joey and the super perform their last dance rehearsal on the roof?

3. Name the occupations of two of Emily’s relatives.
