A Thanksgiving of Friends

Well loyal blog followers I have really been slacking. First up tonight I'll be posting my post that was intended for Thanksgiving. In the Avant household first we feast, then we watch our 'Friends' Thanksgiving marathon. I'll be pretty brief on the descriptions, but if you've never seen these episodes, you should find and watch them immediately. 


Season 1:
"The One Where Underdog Gets Away"


Best quote: 
Chandler: The most unbelievable thing has happened, Underdog has gotten away!
Joey: The balloon?
Chandler: No, the cartoon.

Season 3: (there was no season 2 episode, I know, sad)
"The One With the Football"


Best quotes:
Monica: (in the midst of a touch football game) Losers walk.
Ross: Oh yeah? Losers talk!
Chandler: No no, losers rhyme.


Rachel: We should definitely play more often. Maybe there's a league we can join.
Pheobe: Hey, isn't there like a national football league?
Chandler: Yeah they play on Sundays and Mondays.
Rachel: Oh shoot, I work on Mondays.


Season 4:
"The One With Chandler in a Box"


Best quote:
Monica: Fine, judge all you want, but [to Ross] married a lesbian, [to Rachel] left a man at the altar, [to Pheobe] fell in love with a gay ice dancer, [to Joey] threw a girl's wooden leg in a fire, [to Chandler] live in a box!


Season 5:
"The One With All the Thanksgivings"


Best quote:
Joey: I am thankful for this lovely fall we've been having. The other day I was at a bus stop and this breeze came out of nowhere and blew this chick's skirt right up. Which reminds me, I'm also thankful for thongs.


Season 6:
"The One Where Ross Got High" [my favorite!]


Best quotes:
Monica: Dad, Chandler didn't melt your records, Ross did.
Jack Geller: Is that...
Monica: And Dad, you know that mailman you got fired? He didn't steal your Playboys, Ross did.
Ross: Yea, well Hurricane Gloria didn't break the porch swing, Monica did.
Monica: Ross hasn't worked at the museum for a year.
Ross: Monica and Chandler are living together!
Monica: Ross married Rachel in Vegas, and got divorced, again.
Phoebe: I love Jacques Cousteau.
Rachel: I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle.
Joey: I wanna gooooo!
Judy Geller: That's a lot of information to get in thirty seconds

Ross: It tastes like feet!
Joey: Well, I like it.
Ross: Are you kidding?
Joey: I mean, what's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!  


Season 7:
"The One Where Chandler Hates Dogs"


Best Quote:
Chandler: Where's the dog?
Ross: What dog?
Joey: Yeah, that dog left.
 [silence]
Joey: We decided to say...[to Ross] yeah you're thing.


Season 8:
"The One With the Rumor" [also a favorite]


Best quotes:
Will [Brad Pitt]: Look at her holding those yams. Those are my two worst enemies, Ross - Rachel Green and complex carbohydrates. 

Rachel: The "I Hate Rachel Green Club"? Who was in this club?
Will: Me and Ross...
Ross: There's no need to point; she knows who Ross is.
Rachel: Ross! Who else?
Ross: Well, there was that exchange student from Thailand, but I don't think he really understand what it was.

Will: Wait you made out with Mrs. Altman? She also made out with Tiktaka Kiaket the night before he went back to Thailand. 


Season 9:
"The One With Rachel's Other Sister" [another favorite]


Best quote: 
Amy [Christina Applegate]: If I got the baby, I'd want to change her name. I'm just not crazy about Emily.
Ross: Emma.
Amy: [to Pheobe] Emma, Ross wants you.
Pheobe: PHEOBE!
Amy: [to Ross and Rachel] Why does she keep making that noise?


Season 10: 
"The One With the Late Thanksgiving"


Best quote:
Ross: Oh sure. Now they lock it. But when they're having sex on the couch, it's like, "Come in, my butt is surprisingly hairy!"




I love that show and laughing at the craziness with my family on Thanksgiving. Happy [belated] Thanksgiving!
