I am soooooo gay. I must be. I sat through ALL TWO HOURS of the Friends Finale, afterwhich I attempted to kick my own ass. I was unsuccessful...i ended up with a sprained calf and a couple rug burns. But YES, i can admit it. I watched it. My girlfriend is a die-hard fan of the show. And I have to admit, the first 5 seasons were good. I really liked the shows. Then a sad thing started happening. They started fucking each other. In my humble opinion, the show jumped the shark when Chandler and Monica hooked up. I mean we already had the emotional struggle between Ross (whiny Jew kid with the mexican pompadour) and Rachel (i don't know what she looks like...all I know is that her nips were always standing at full attention like a Marine at reveille). And to me that was enough...Ross and Rachel. There were enough other interesting distractions, they didn't need to start hooking each other up. I thought that, if anything Joey and Chandler shoulda hooked up....now THAT would've been a twist.

But to make matters worse, it wasn't bad enough we had Monica and Chandler...they had to top the shark jumping with an Evil Kineivel "Jump over Grand Canyon" equivalent...there was a brief and terrifying moment where Joey and Rachel almost hooked up. That's when I tuned out. I tried to stay on, hoping that maybe Chandler would get hooked on rubber cement, beat Monica mercilessly, and move back in with Joey. But NO. That would be too real.

So yeah, I tuned out for the last season but I had to come back and watch the finale. And I thought that it was good that they ended it the way they did. Hell, they could've ended it 2 seasons ago and gone out with their integrity intact, but hey that would be too real too...hahaha.

But, like I said, i liked the show in the beginning and I had my favorite characters. I think my top fav was phoebe...she had a twin sister in porn, she drove around in her own taxi cab, she wrote songs about smelly cats that only few people got. She was a hell of a good time. Joey was great too...the quintessential Himbo.

So today I feel a little too faggy for my own good. I think I better go eat a raw steak for lunch and dry hump a park bench to regain my manliness

thanks mike for pointing me to this image...hahaha
