  1. Girlfriend needs to take some hedge clippers and remove at least 12 inches of that fried Poodle Meets Skunk hair.

    What in the hell is with Jeremy Abbot's sideburns????
  3. Oh, it was not Target. It was Gelson's.
  4. Oooh, Omega. Nicely played.
  5. Pie is for pie (chocolate), the one thing Monica asked Phoebe and Rachel to bring, but they went to the Baby Beauty Pageant instead.
  6. Just watched an older episode of an American couple moving to Hong Kong. The woman was of Chinese descent, but had always lived in the US. They were obsessed with their dog, Lucy. The realtor kept explaining that pet dogs weren't really a "thing" in Hong Kong (insert obvious joke), that dog parks were rare, etc. They focused on which apartment Lucy would like, and in the closing shot, the female HH was at a yoga class. With the dog. FFS.
  7. Silly me, of course they're awesome. I used dried cherries instead of cranberries. The pinch of Fleur de Sel is a nice touch, but, like most of Ina's recipes, the predominant flavour is butter. It's a good thing.
  8. C is the carrots Monica was cutting when she dropped the knife on Chandler's toe in the Thanksgiving flashback. Of course it went through his shoe, they were made of wicker!
  9. Shake it off, RealityGal.
  10. I made Ina's Salty Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies from Make It Ahead. I hope they're good, it makes a huge batch. They're in the freezer for Christmas.
  11. You missed the ever popular "Dan and I's plan is to.." Makes me want to rip my ears off.
  12. Googling the Zaftig twins is fun. Christina Keys Trujillo and Stephanie Keys Elam; give it a try.
  13. Walking alone at night is what the woman who was mugged was doing, and what Rachel told her mother she would never do, while she captured the pigeon in the soup pot in the apartment she shared with Monica. Wow, that's a long sentence.
  14. I'm in my forties, and childfree. I don't read children's books, or see children's movies. Also don't do teen literature, proud to say I have no idea what Vampire Diaries or Hunger Games are about.
  15. Excuse me for cutting and pasting my TripAdvisor review of It's Only a Play, posted in early October. I sat about 10 rows back, Left Orchestra, and had no problem seeing or hearing. As noted, there were a lot of insider theater jokes, but I see 8-12 shows a year, and got almost all of them : ) I found the storyline an interesting concept. Stockard Channing appeared, and was great. She is clearly still feeling the effects of her knee injury, limping at times and using a cane without it being mentioned. She was quite believable in the role, with a great voice for the stage, but I was saddened to see what she has done to her face. Nathan Lane's character was like every other character I have seen him play, but I enjoyed him. He seemed to recognize he was playing a caricature of himself. Matthew Broderick was a little more reserved than other roles I have seem him play, but that was in keeping with the character. F. Murray Abraham was well cast. I had never heard of Rupert Grint. Micah Stock was a treat and probably the best part of the show. Which leaves Megan Mullally. I was most looking forward to seeing her. She adopted a terrible speech affectation that sounded alternatively like she was British, Southern, posh, or just had a cold. I couldn't figure out what she was trying to do, and it became so distracting I stopped paying attention to what she was saying in order to analyze how she was saying it. Clearly, with the show opening this week, this character choice is set, and I think it detracts greatly from the show. She was a disappointment. Would I see the show again? No. Did I laugh? Yes, but not uproariously like I had hoped with this cast, especially since I paid more for this show than any in recent memory. On another note, I also saw You Can't Take It With You, and would see it again.
  16. Did He Like It has three thumbs up, one thumbs down, and one on the fence! I'm reluctant to pay full price, since I paid big bucks for my other two shows. I also paid full price for It's Only a Play last month, and really resented it. Maybe I'll hold out another week or so to see if the discounts get extended. I do hesitate to pass up the chance to see Ewan McGregor : )
  17. How did I not know there was a thread for my people??? Looking for advice - going to New York for Christmas, and am considering seeing The Real Thing matinee on Christmas Eve. There are only a few shows playing that day, and I've seen most of them! I have Elephant Man booked for Christmas Day and Delicate Balance for the 26th. Reviews so far are mixed, and I can't find any discounts for that week, so it looks like I will be paying full price. Has anyone seen it?
  18. Every one of the band storylines just reminds me of entire high school life; my brother and his loser friends gathered at our house every day after school to "rehearse" because ours was the only house without an adult, and it certainly didn't matter that they were annoying the hell out of me. Notwithstanding all this rehearsal, they never, ever played in public. Of course, they were worse than every Degrassi band.
  19. "Hey, Lakeshia. When did it happen?" "At that time." "And what happened next?" "At that time..." Is "at that time" the new "basically?"
  20.  In my part of the world, people say there are "just fixin' to". I was Just Fixin' to get insurance when I borrowed him my car. I was Just Fixin' to get a job when my Baby Daddy got out of jail and wouldn't let me work.
  21. I drive. And I'm a lawyer. And I agree with her on this point.
  22. Hell's to the No. I watched the original Kids of Degrassi.
  23. Z (pronounced zed by those of us in Canada) is for Zach, Chandler's co-worker and the potential sperm donor, played by John Stamos.

    The Lexicon

    Hey, I say Moo Point all the time. Although I've never dared write it in a brief or say it to a judge.
  25. U is for Ursula. Played by guest star Lisa Kudrow. See what I did there?
