“Security is knowing you will always be part of the gang.” – Peanuts

From chocolate cake to tiramisu, bitching about Halle Berry (and her damned perfect ass), to fighting over who’s got the naughtiest face and secret recordings; from Peanuts to new wallets, chocolates and gift hampers to photographs and memories…Happy Birthday Noonie

Being marooned on an island  is alright when there are people like you to *poke incessantly* , to share good music with interspersed with insane laughter, frequent Friends quotes, exchanging gossip and laughter, support and all around good times.

To a very Stupendous Dude, happy 21st!!

And just as a by the way, a few quotes from some of my all time favourite people:

Phoebe: Hey. Why isn’t it Spidermen? You know, like Goldman, Silverman.
Chandler: Because, it… it’s not his last name.
Phoebe: It isn’t?
Chandler: No. It’s not like Phil Spidermen. He’s a spider man. You know, like Goldman is a last name but there’s no gold man.
Phoebe: Oh, oh okay…
Phoebe: There should be a gold man!

 [Re: "If you had to give up sex or food, which would you pick?"] Monica: Sex!
Chandler: Seriously. Answer faster.
Monica: I’m sorry, sweetie. When she said “sex” I wasn’t thinking of sex with you.
Chandler: It’s like a big hug.
Phoebe: Ross, how about you? Sex or food?
Ross: Sex!
Phoebe: What about sex or dinosaurs?
Ross: My God, it’s like Sophie’s Choice.
Phoebe: Joey, if you had to give up sex or food, which would you pick?
Joey: I don’t know it’s too hard.
Rachel: Come on, you have to answer.
Joey: Okay… sex. No, food. No, uh… I want both! I want girls on bread!

Joey: Hey Ross. If homo sapiens were in fact “homo sapiens”, could that be why they’re extinct? 
Ross: Joey, homo sapiens are people.
Joey: Hey! I’m not judging here. 

Ross: This is so exciting, I haven’t seen my monkey in almost a year. Chandler: What, you never look down in the shower?
[pause]
Chandler: Oh, please. I’m not allowed to make one joke in the monkey-is-penis genre? 

Joey: Pheebs, you wanna help?
Phoebe: Oh I wish I could, but I really don’t want to.

Monica: Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?
Joey:I’d probably kill myself.
Monica: Excuse me?
Joey: Hey, if “Little Joey”’s dead, then I got no reason to live. 
Ross: Uh, Joey… Omnipotent.
Joey: You are? Ross, I’m sorry. 

 [a ritual to get rid of bad-boyfriend karma]
Phoebe: Okay, now we need the sage branches and the sacramental wine.
Monica: All I have is oregano and a Fresca.
Phoebe: That’s okay.
[Adds them]
Phoebe: All right, now we need the semen of a righteous man.
Rachel: OK, Pheebs, you know what? If we had that, we wouldn’t be doing the ritual in the first place. 

Ross: First divorce: wife’s hidden sexuality, not my fault. Second divorce: said the wrong name at the altar, kind of my fault. Third divorce: they shouldn’t let you get married when you’re that drunk and have stuff drawn all over your face, Nevada’s fault. 

Rachel: See? Unisex.
Joey: Maybe you need sex. I just had it a few days ago.
Rachel: No, Joey, U-N-I-sex.
Joey: I wouldn’t say no to that. 

Joey: Rach, you gotta find out if he’s in the same place you are. Otherwise, it’s just a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It’s like a cow’s opinion. It just doesn’t matter. It’s moo. Rachel: Have I been living with him too long or did that all just make sense?

 [Upon hearing Ross "practicing" the bagpipe for their wedding in honour of Chandler's Scottish roots]
Monica: Why must your family be Scottish?
Chandler: Why must your family be Ross? 

Joey: Oh, yeah. Go for it man, jump off the high dive, stare down the barrel of the gun, pee into the wind.
Chandler: Yeah, Joe, I assure you if I’m staring down the barrel of a gun, I’m gonna be pretty much peeing every which way. 

(upon revealing the secret that Chandler had once accidentally kissed a guy)
Chandler: You wanna tell secrets? Okay. In college, Ross used to wear leg warmers.
Ross: All right. Chandler entered a Vanilla Ice look-a-like contest…and won.
Chandler: Ross came in fourth and cried.
Ross: Chandler got drunk one night and slept with the woman who cleaned our dorm.
Chandler: That was you.
Ross: Whatever dude. You kissed a guy. 

 And one of my favourite Phoebe quotes: I may play the fool at times but I’m a little more than just a pretty blonde girl with an ass that won’t quit. 

Monica: Are you sure you peed on the stick right?
Rachel: How many ways are there to do that?

 [talking about Ralph Lauren]
Joey: I hate his underwear. one time I brought a pair marked XS and let me tell you there’s no room for anything excess in there.

Phoebe: I remember the day I got my first paycheck. There was a cave-in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed. “
Monica: Wow, you – you worked in a mine? “
Phoebe: No, I worked in a Dairy Queen. Why? 

Phoebe: Ok, I got an idea. If it’s a girl, Phoebe, naturally. And, if it’s a boy… Phoebo.
Ross: Uhh… Sure, but let’s not limit ourselves to just one name. Rachel: Ok, I got one. If it’s a girl… Sandrine. It’s French.
Ross: That’s a great name… for an industrial solvent.
Rachel: Ok, you got a better one?
Ross: Yeah, check this out. If it’s a boy – Darwin.
Rachel: Yes, Ross, I do want a son who’ll be regularly beaten in the schoolyard.
Phoebe: By Sandrine

Monica:I think I’d be great in a war. I’d, like, get all the medals. Chandler: Before or after you’re executed by your own troops? 

Ross: I love marriage!
Phoebe: Seriously? You? Divorce-O?
Ross: If you’re going to call me names, I would prefer Ross, the Divorce Force. It’s just cooler.

And last but not least:
Chandler: I’m not so good with the advice, could I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
