I think my favorite is when Rachel and Phoebe find out that Chandler and Monica are doing it, and they try to mess with them, and then Chandler and Monica figure that out, and ad nauseam.
Phoebe seeing Chandler and Monica from Ross' apartment makes me lose it every time. "My eyes! My EYES!"
Susan that is terrible. When I gave up hope of getting my first book published, and announced its release in self-published form (releasing it electronically, and in print via LuLu which costs me nothing), a number of people wrote to congratulate me. And of course they had the best intentions, but I gritted my teeth because self-publishing without even an institute behind me was an admission of failure for that book. I've moved on and am completing a my second book, on grounds that we can't all be Allysons or Jilli, and the usual path to success is to write a few failed books before one is sucessful. But it a lot of people don't understand the distinction between self-publication and real publication. (If you are Stephen King, there is no distinction, for the rest of us not so much.)
So I'm not the only one still thumbing through the song charts I see.
"he's scared of bras. can't work 'em."
I also have the Friends love, especially the 2 episodes mentioned upthread.
But it a lot of people don't understand the distinction between self-publication and real publication.
The thing is, this writer does, she just wants to obliterate it, at least as far as her own deathless prose goes. It's the future of publishing! Anyone whose book didn't sell should try it! (Yes, I've been on the receiving end of her spiel.) It should be treated with respect because it's where you find the cutting-edge, out-of-the-box books! And if Third Place Books doesn't treat her like she's on a level with Diana Gabaldon or Bernard Cornwell (to name some actual big names with actual publication credits from the national Historical Novel Society), then they're being unforgivably rude and she'll never shop there again!

ETA I am exaggerating slightly. She just seemed to have this expectation that the bookstore should be thrilled to have us there and be partnering with us on what we could do for the bookstore, and until one of sells a book to a legit print publisher, the answer is NOTHING. Even then, it's not like the bookstore is going to bend over backwards for you WRT giving a talk, a signing, or whatever unless you're at least SOMEWHAT of a name or there's a good current-event or pop culture hook for your book because otherwise you're not going to draw traffic to the store.
Is there one showing a 100% correlation between Bobby Brown's little steps, you being there, and them being together?
Or an actual ironic examples vs. Alanis examples?
I even have snooze capability. "You want another few minutes?"
"Yes, please."
"*sigh* Fine."
Hey, I have the British version of that alarm clock!
I have not been able to wake up properly this entire week, and thus have been strolling into the office, er, later than I should. Which is saying something, considering "core hours" don't start around here until 10AM. But my team doesn't care! I don't think they even notice! All they care about is if I'm getting work done and not going insane.
Sniff. I'm glad to see I am not the only one who still likes Friends, even if I didn't really watch the last couple seasons. It's funny--the reruns of Friends I still watch and enjoy, even from long ago, but the Seinfeld reruns are annoying and dated. Why is that?

I'm enough of an insomniac, I don't need trust issues with my pillow.

Heh. My Sister has one of those unfathomable-outside-her-industry jobs so that's what we always say she does.
Supposably
that's what she does.
