Wouldn’t it be much more fun to watch the Republican presidential debates if they were scripted by the writers of Friends?

ROSS: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What, you don’t, uh, you don’t believe in evolution?

PHOEBE: Nah. Not really.

ROSS: You don’t believe in evolution?

PHOEBE: I don’t know, it’s just, you know…monkeys, Darwin, you know, it’s a, it’s a nice story, I just think it’s a little too easy.

ROSS: Too easy? Too…The process of every living thing on this planet evolving over millions of years from single-celled organisms, too easy?

PHOEBE: Yeah, I just don’t buy it.

ROSS: Uh, excuse me. Evolution is not for you to buy, Phoebe. Evolution is scientific fact, like, like, like the air we breathe, like gravity.

PHOEBE: Okay, don’t get me started on gravity.

ROSS: You uh, you don’t believe in gravity?

PHOEBE: Well, it’s not so much that you know, like I don’t believe in it, you know, it’s just…I don’t know, lately I get the feeling that I’m not so much being pulled down as I am being pushed.

maia you’re hysterical. I remember that episode. Too funny!!!

marc, is that a fauxhawk you got goin’ on in that photo above?

I love the “Friends” Republican debate! It now makes me want to watch an episode of Friends.

Oh no, I just googled it! I’m married to a reference librarian, so I know how to find things. ^_~

I remembered that episode from a long time ago… I stopped watching Friends by the end of its run, but damn those first few seasons were funny!

Marc, I love the ‘hawk too. Dorsal fins are so cute on people…

The powdered alchohol must work as part of a carbon chain. The end of it has to have an OH group to be an alchohol. So the problem is turning the powder into ethanol, the alchohol you drink The powder itself must be a carbon chain w/ a lot of oxygen’s attached; when reacted with water the chemical I presume takes the H’s and O’s from the Water and attaches it to the carbon. The “fizz” is the release of CO2 and the end form in the water is now alchohol. I’m geussing seperately in the powder is the lime flavoring, possibly a preservative, to keep the Carbon chain’s double and triple bonds w/ oxygen stronger in packaging

And about Howard Hughes…..I just read a book about him that said that he WAS like that; he had Excessive OCD, and probably had a lot of strenous cleaning/purifying rituals. In the ultimate irony it was too hard for him to keep clean so he just stopped trying to be because it would take 12 hours to shower and dress. He was obsessed with germs and so wanted to keep his apartment germ free using napkins/tissues to cover everything and only eat what was given to him in a covered dish that only gloved hands could touch.

As far as I know, yes, he more than likely did. But that wouldn’t matter though; if you managed to sneak into his room in his house you would chance upon a man totally naked and incredibly unkempt. If he saw you the last thing you’d see is a man incredibly scared and frantic running to his bathroom, wearing no clothes, opening the door with “curling” fingernails, his matted hair flying around his head and then he’d lock the door and start washing for the rest of the week. Disturbing his place would probably trigger an incredibly bad attack lasting more than a day.

As Jason Smith said on the comment section for #549, the actor was Seann William Scott.

Seann’s most famous role to date was his portrayal of the character “Stifler” in the *American Pie* trilogy.

He also starred as Bo Duke in the remake of *The Dukes of Hazzard,* and was also the star of *Bullet Proof Monk*.

The latter movie has a particularly homerotic scene where he is doing martial arts in the projection room of a movie theater while wearing a wife beater and jeans. He is all hot and sweaty and wonderfully lit by the by the ambient light from the projector. It’s well worth the rental…
