I have to admit that I am not the world's biggest "Friends" fan, though I did watch some back in the day. I am really just not one who gets obsessive about TV shows (unless it's a great season of Dancing with the Stars.... and even then it's usually watching on Hulu when I get around to it).
Back when I was in college, though, "Friends" was the thing. My roommates used to watch the re-runs that came on nightly after the evening news. (I wonder now if it was a way a living vicariously through the characters because our apartment had particularly sorry dating lives.... ) I always found it hilarious that each episode of Friends is titled "The one where....(fill in the blank) " because that's exactly how people talk about TV episodes.
My favorite episode of "Friends" happens to be the one with the lobster. I'm not exactly sure that's the official episode name and I don't remember the complete plot, even. It's my favorite because one of my roommates loved it so so so much. At one point in the episode, Phoebe is discussing with Ross or Rachel why the two of them can't ever seem to stay apart, and Phoebe in her ever-quirky way explains about lobsters mating for life and then says that they can't stay apart because "He's her lobster." This one roommate would quote that all the time and make little lobster claws out of her hands, join them together, and then motion like they were walking away together, claw in claw. Hilarious.
What does this have to do with anything? Nothing. I just remembered it this morning and felt compelled to share. :)

I love that episode! (It's actually The One With the Prom Video, but whatever). It's one of my favorites. I love the very end when they all watch the video and Rachel walks right up to Ross and kisses him. Then Pheobe says, in that cute way of hers, "see, he's her lobster!" SO CUTE.
