Friends

A few days ago author Roxanne Gay tweeted about the long line that had formed at the entrance to something called "The Friends Experience." 

Located at the intersection of 23rd and Lex, this NYC interactive experience lets fans of the popular 90's sitcom enjoy a behind the scenes glimpse of their favorite show. Ticket holders can wander through former sets, filled with props and costumes used by Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, and of course, Ross and Rachel. 

Friends debuted in September of 1994 and aired for ten seasons. But I have been watching far longer than that. Late night re-runs have kept me amused through years of periodic insomnia. So much so that I now know much of the dialogue by heart. 

Still Friends after all these years.....

"PIVOT!" – Ross

"How you doin?" – Joey

"See, he's her lobster." – Phoebe

"And I have to live with a boy!" – Monica

"Okay, you have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance." – Chandler

"It's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it IS a big deal!" – Rachel

But perhaps the most memorable of all....

"Oh. My. God." – Janice
