Okay, I'm watching reruns...in the one where Phoebe is giving birth and Joey has kidney stones, Phoebe asks Rachel "Do you want to know a little secret" and when Rachel says "Sure" Phoebe tells her, "I want to keep one". Rachel spins around and grabs her forehead, saying "Oh, I'm going to be on the news".
What the heck did she mean? I missed the reference completely.

She means that she's afraid she'd be arrested for "stealing" a baby for Phoebe. When Rachel said that line, Phoebe hadn't told her that she [Phoebe] wanted Rachel to ask Frank Jr and Alice if she could keep one of the triplets.
Hope this clears it up some for you. ~~~ Kathy

Ohmigosh, talk about BRAINDEAD! Duh, NOW I started laughing, about four hours after I heard the line and two seconds after you explained.
I must've killed off more braincells than I ever imagined in my younger, wilder days!
Thanks so much for the response, it was bugging me.

Oh, I very much doubt that Rachel was afraid of anything like that, she simply saw herself as being part of a sensational tabloid news story...
SISTER VOWS 2 OUT OF 3 BABIES IS ENOUGH FOR BROTHER!
..although that headline could be shorter & nastier, I reckon.

Can you think of a racier headline?

That sounds like a respectable newspaper. What about the gutter press?

Now that everyone's overdosed on Teletubbies, Tennant Stuart had a cracker and said:
Good point Tennant. Way too many syllables for a tabloid headline. Remember Joey from 118? Only stuff with one syllable is allowed :)

*Tennant Stuart* :
No, "TRIPS". I thought it was obvious for short of "TRIPLETS" but didn't think of the plural of "trip".

Doy is good, but I think we can credit Homer Simpson for popularizing the shorter d'oh. Being a little different myself, I always went for duh.
If you say them together it kind of sounds Japanese. I can picture the scene. Two men are talking in the street when an asteroid comes whizzing overhead. One of the two exclaims, "Doy d'oh duh!"

In the scripts, d'oh is spelt "annoyed grunt".
Eek, don't say that, you'll set off the Anim� fans... ;)

What day would "Fonzie's half birthday" be? Phoebe gave birth arounf May 14 or so. Henry Winkler's birthday is Oct 30 (as is mine). I'm sure she means Fonzie as the character not the actor. So when is Fonzie's birthday? Nov 14?? Just curious. cj
