TV Guide cover story this week. Only 10 are on the website:

If any of you folks across the pond would like it for your collection I can scan the relevant pages and post them somewhere appropriate.

OK - do you get alt.binaries.tv.friends? I will post them there in the morning.

Any guesses as to what was the #1 Moment?

I'd like to see that as well, but can't get ABTF yet, I suppose I'll be able to subscribe to that group somewhen next week (my current news server doesn't carry the alt.binaries.* hierarchy). Do you read ABTF? Because if so, I'd give you a shout over there, if the article's already gone....

ok, I've got access to ABTF now. In case anyone doesnt, I might upload them to http, if there are enough people who care.

Thanks for making these more readily available. They didn't all turn up on my own server!!!

I'm working on the rest now.

I don't really know anything about Binary groups yet, but my server seems to carry most of the messages for less than a day, or it's Xnews deleting all the downloaded messages. After I had downloaded the scans and did a refresh, they were all gone... Weird

I found a site that has pretty good scans of all six TVG covers as well. Would people like to see them as well?

All I know is that if the #1 moment isn't Rachel walking up and kissing Ross in TOW Prom Video, there is something seriously wrong with the TV Guide editors.

That was one of the best moments in television history.

It was. At #37 you can find 724 TOW Monica and Chandler's Wedding, part 2. Even though it also mentions Rachel's pregnancy test, it's mainly about Chandler and Monica.

As far as Chandler and Monica, I think their best "moment" was the scene in London where it was first revealed that they were sleeping together. Not that they haven't had other great moments, but that was definitely the best in my opinion, because it was so unexpected. (Well... OK... not unexpected to me, since I constantly surf the 'Net for spoilers, but... you get my drift.)

Don't you have the OCR software to convert it to a few Kb of text?

Yeah, I have Textbridge somewhere... But aren't you the one who downloads the whole IMDB? So what's the big deal in downloading 10MB? Anyway, I think the article has already been transcribed, search for 50 Greatest Friends Moments over at Angels!

Downloading the IMDb is a very big deal, but it's worth it.

Even so, I only do it once a year or so.

Is that the name of the thread?

Yes, it is precious to me. It's very useful.

They get pretty big as well, since you have to download them every week.

This is not true. The actors file alone takes almost three hours.

Downloading the IMDb might be trivial for you, but not for me. The fact that it takes me a long time to download it does not make me special, that description would apply to someone who can download it very quickly.

I wasn't being condescending, I was surprised because I'd been told to look for a mirror chair.

However, you are a spiteful little troll, who just got killfiled again.

Goodbye, Jim.

You seem to have two categories of people Tennant: ones you killfile or want to kill file and ones that are you are good friends with who wish you a happy birthday. Do you have a middle ground? I wonder what category I would go under...lol.

I just killfile people who are abusive, it's more peaceful that way.

I'm told that their typical reaction is to protest that they've been killfiled for disagreeing with me, but that's not true - you & I have had many disagreements, but unlike them, you are a nice person.

Here's #1: "Marital blast - from The One In Vegas, Part II, May 20, 1999. A feuding Ross and Rachel follow the others out to Vegas to surprise Joey -- who's working as a casino gladiator after the movie he was shooting ran out of money. While Rachel naps on the flight, her ex scrawls a mustache and beard on her face in permanent ink. She is mortified ("Ross, I am a human doodle!") and makes him hole up with her in the hotel room, where they hit the minibar. Soon they're blotto, and Rachel gets to mark up Ross's mug. Meanwhile, lovebirds Monica and Chandler are literally rolling the dice to decide if they'll tie the knot. They finally head to the chapel, only to have the shock of their lives when Ross and Rachel burst through the doors, laughing hysterically, as man and wife. "Well, hello, Mrs. Ross!" exclaims Ross. "Well, hello, Mr. Rachel!" she responds before they head off, dazed and confused, in opposite directions. Ka-ching! Once again, a Friends season ender hits the jackpot."
