you guys how post a lot:
Tennant Claire Larissa Tina Actavia Raven Johnathen and me and anyone else
shall we introduce ourselves properly. Like, My name is Helena, I am nearly 17 and from London UK what about you guys ?? what couple do you like ? where do you come from ? etc etc....
I wasnt on the list, but i think I post quite a bit, so I'll introduce myself. My name is Katrina.. I'm 16 years old, my fav couple is Rach n Ross, and I live in Colorado, USA, but I'm from Florida, USA, and I plan to move back. Friends is my absolute favorite show, and some of my other favorites are Charmed, Roswell, Felicity, and just about all of the WB shows. Well, thats about it..bye bye! -Kat
Monica:"Fine! Judge all you want to but (to Ross) married a lesbian, (to Rachel) left a man at the altar, (to Phoebe) fell in love with a gay ice dancer, (to Joey) threw a girl's wooden leg into the fire, (to Chandler) live in a box."
ooh, a formal introduction... how fun!
I'm Ashley AKA Cow AKA Bob. i'm form Cincinnati, Ohio, USA and I am 14. I prefer Chandler and Monica (Der.) :) I have a German Shpeherd/Rotty/Husky mix who I absolutely adore. I'm in 8th grade and I think my math teacher is evil. Some of my toher favorite shows are Ally McBeal, which I still can't even watch the reruns without burting into tears anymore, Drew Carey, Whose Line Is it Anyway?, The Simpsons (Been watching since it came on.), King of the Hill, Titus, Malcolm in the Middle, Futuramma, That 70's show, and Family Guy.. for short.. just about every sitcom on fox. :) OK, I watch too much TV. :)
even though I don't post a lot can I introduce me self. My name is Owen Shiers and I'm 15 from Wales UK where it rains 95% of the time, how depressing. Anyway my fve show is friends(obviously) but I also like the simpsons and futerama. I'm in year 10 in high school(i think that's 10th grade in us but I'm not to sure) and I enjoy playing football(soccer) basketball and tennis.

100% correct. The best thing about records like these is when the kids ask a question like "What do you mean, Police?" or "Led what?" and then become enthusiastic when they hear the vinyl version.

If a 100 monkeys each could get their own show (alt.tv.friends), perhaps one day (Sat, 15 Apr 2000 02:55:20 BST) a chimp (Tennant Stuart ) might say:

Honey, that's a given. The *average* 16yo seems to be more into non-lyric'd dance music than decent stuff like BNL. Hey, who wants to be average anyway? ;)
Jac
For reference, bearing in mind this was 12 years ago, at 16 I was listening to: Def Leppard, Metallica, Nick Drake, The Beatles, T.Rex, The Turtles, The Bangles, Marillion, The Wonder Stuff, The Bonzo Dog DooDah Band, The Dogs D'Amour, The Cure, David Lee Roth, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Simon and Garfunkel, and whatever was in the charts just to round it off! No one is average, trust me!

Beatles,
I left off the classical music because I figured that might confuse things... at 16 I liked (and still do) Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Liszt, Orff, Mozart, Vivaldi, Verdi, Faure and Smetana. Looking at the "rock/pop" list though, that still doesn't even begin to cover the state of my record collection in 1988... (I've still got most of it)

*sigh* please don't let me have to explain this agaiiiiiin.
Okay. it's from a line in a BNL song called "I Know" which goes:
"If 100 monkeys each could get their own show, perhaps one day a chimp might say 'well you have faith, you just need to use it, sayeth the lord'"
no harm intended.. it's because i also post to the BNL newsgroup quite frequently, too and they liked it there :)

It would be as well if you were to include this explanation in your signature, though that is a *little* on the heavy side.

I think BNL means Barenaked Ladies. A band from Canada

I used to be a main poster, so I guess I'll say "hello".
My name is Denise, and I met the love of my life here at ATF. His name is Don, and he went by Dionysian Don around here. I was living in Nebraska and he was in North Carolina. We're now living together with his son and my daughter in Madison, Wisconsin (long story).

Hello Nise!!!! *smooch* (and one for Don)
Yes, and you owe me mail tying up the loose ends! :) How's the job going?

Ooooh, don't remind me, you cruel wench! The job is going fine. It's really very easy most of the time. The hard part is organizing my time (outside of work). Didn't there used to be 24 hours in a day? I think that I lost some.
On Sun, 16 Apr 2000, Denise Mjelde stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -
Yay! Our own 'Ross & Rachel' or perhaps 'Chandler & Monica' story.
Welcome back Denise, I'm sure you remember me.

Hmm, I don't know if I prefer the thought of being Ross and Rachel or Chandler and Monica.... I'll have to give that some thought.

Indeed I do. So, have you gotten over CC yet? ;)

While Jon and John are both acceptable spellings, is Johnathan *ever* used? I've never seen it that way.
While you can register anything as a name (Mr McGroin flashback) I've never heard of any Johnathans. I mean why put a h into a name for no reason other than to just add a letter. The most common difference with Jonathan s -than or -thon.
Jon (Who's a than man.)
ahhh, and thats the question so many 7 year olds ask when learning how to spell.

Hmm, how about that. I guess it doesn't matter then if I think it looks terrible with an 'h'. :)

Might be worth noting that film stars often spell their names in unusual ways - apparently it "helps people to remember them". (I don't remember who told me that, but someone did, hence quotation marks.)
(And yes, I'm aware of the irony.)

There are 15 Ravens in the IMDb (13 actresses, an artist & a writer).

Tennant, could you do me a favour and find out how many Davids there are in TV (if possible)? Because myself and my dad (who *is* called David and *does* work in the TV business) thinks that David is a very popular TV-business name (maybe it's just stuff I watch <g>)

But what should the number of Davids in TV be compared with?
The IMDb tends not to give full details for the crew of TV programmes, so this alone would bias the results. I was using the database to compare the preponderance of one name with another, which *is* valid.

-snikt-
Ah, but these are still people in the industry. It's a shame we can't set it against the national or global statistics. (Crew people are still sometimes credited, remember - film credits these days are gigantic.)
Act*resses*. Blast. ;-)
I have to admit, you're the only one I know, too.

Almost every name in the IMDb *is* credited, Rave. But crew tend not to change the spelling of their names, that's why in US productions they seem to be more 'foreign' than the cast are.
Yep. Raven is a girl's name, like Blondie or Scarlett... :)
To add to your discomfort, here are some of the movies written by Raven Touchstone : The Pornbirds, Snatchbuckler, Aerobics Girls Club, Crystal Balls, In Search of the Wild Beaver, Kittens, Snatched to the Future, Virgin on the Run, Hidden Obsessions, Hothouse Rose Part 2, Knockin' da Booty, Sensual Exposure, American Blonde, Booty by Nature, Bobby Sox, Expose Me Again, Satyr, Taboo 17, and This Year's Blond Y2K.
Good innit? One of the reasons I like it.
It's also another of my similarities to a certain well-loved character from a popular American situation comedy... :)

Not exclusively... at least, not in every instance. Take a look at the big bad guy in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
(And no, I'm not an Aleut.)
It's times like this I'd be tempted to kill Raven for good, if it weren't for the fact that I love having a Neil Gaiman reference.

Did you see the one where Apu and his wife are trying to concieve? Homer starts talking to Apu using phrases like 'Hellooo!!', and 'Too much information' (using that method of emphasis trademarked on the Jerry Springer show). Apu tells him 'Stop using those hackneyed quips' and Homer replies 'Hello-ow! Could you *be* anymore.....helloooo-ow!!'
Nah it's gotta be Urkel froim Family Matters.

{{{{SLANG}}}}}I still only have a Monica and Rachel sim family called Geller Green. Once they aren't living on grass anymore, I will make a Chandler and Joey family. Once I get Lora to marry Sean, I will have her house to move Ross in. And then i will build Phoebe a place. That game is very addicting. Although i haven't played in a week. The weather has been too nice!!! :)

LOL! I haven't tried building a house yet (well i got halfway there and my computer crashed (which it seems to like to do whilst playing The Sims) so i'll try again sometimes :))
It should have a warning on the label! "Warning, this game is addictive!"
*pfft* been raining (and SNOWING!) here too over the last week... was great whilst out camping on saturday night </sarc>
sesameslang - "Here come's the science bit..."
I built Monica and Rachel's house to look like their apartment, but I made it way too big and they ran out of money quickly. All they had for a couple of days was just a fridge, the little beds, a toilet and tub. The floor is still grass, but they finally got a few counters a table, couch and the b&w t.v.. I think I may put different types of chairs around the table. Once it is furnished a little better, I may post it on the net.
