Fun with Friends...

I normally wouldn't do this, but I had so much fun that I thought I would pass it on. The email address at the bottom belongs to a High School Student overseas who is doing a report, and choose Friends as her topic. The idea is to get people to write fun passages about why you watch and love the show so much and why you would be most deserving of meeting the cast and such.

Here is what I wrote - Each word down - first letter spells out FRIENDS...I kinda deviated from the question below, but it was fun.

Funny you should ask, because

Really since the pilot passed

Every episode I have seen

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years with all the laughter and the tears

Never will another show have such a following, this I know

Devoted fans worldwide, will watch as this show finally subsides

Surely we know it will be missed for Friends is & 4-ever will be my #1 flick

and here is her question:

If you were given the opportunity to visit

Friends show's set (in it's final season) and meet the

cast, why do you (seriously or humorously) think you'd

be most deserving of that ? As either a mega Friends

fan, or compared to other big fans. Please

creatively express (in about a 30 word maximum only)

your response. 'Creatively', as in a short rhyming

poem, acrostic writing that rhymes, etc., or anything

involving witty, inventive wordplay you like.

Are you referring to the fact that you spelled it fr_EI_nds? I hardly think that's a cut and past problem.

It's a nice thought though. :-)

I had to cut and paste each line because it kept screwing up when I pasted the whole thing... Like I said..I must be computer illiterate. =)

We had lots of fun on ATF about 3 years ago creating acrostics in the thread "All Americans are Dumb!", mostly playing around with names of not just the characters on the show, but also ourselves. For example, here is a double acrostic I composed for Jacqui...

   Justly counted among the illuminati
   At bedazzling us with her impromptu
   Creativity, she transcends the Cinq
   Queens of sitcomment for her ironic
   Urbanity drawn from all of academia
   India's royalty boasts no finer Raj

..use a fixed-pitch font such that the RH edge also lines up.

If you can't manipulate your newsreader like that, here's another double acrostic, from Vishal, which doesn't need to be lined up...

   Gosh, this acrostic job
   Really pushes you
   Even further if
   Every last name of
   Nearly each actor is needed. A
   Good way to do this is to try
   Elaborating a single thought,
   Linking each letter.
   Little things like this are why I
   Expect my solution to absorb
   Readers' interest. A good job
   Being desired for you all, I
   Idly scribbled down a
   Nifty, eye-catching, solution,
   Generally like Alexandra Holden in a Bikini

..note that it spells "GreenGellerBing" down the LH edge and "BuffayTribbiani" down the other, though traditionally the RH edge should go upwards - like this one from Bram...

   For those who are in to this
   Read on and you'll be amazed
   If you need some stimulation
   Entertainment or just coffee
   Nearby you might find a taxi
   Direct it to the closest bar
   Sit down and have some decaf

Anyway, the best acrostic in the English language was composed by Lewis Carroll; it's quite exquisite...

   A boat, beneath a sunny sky
   Lingering onward dreamily
   In an evening of July -
   Children three that nestle near,
   Eager eye and willing ear,
   Pleased a simple tale to hear -
   Long has paled that sunny sky:
   Echoes fade and memories die:
   Autumn frosts have slain July.
   Still she haunts me, phantomwise.
   Alice moving under skies
   Never seen by waking eyes.
   Children yet, the tale to hear,
   Eager eye and willing ear,
   Lovingly shall nestle near.
   In a Wonderland they lie,
   Dreaming as the days go by,
   Dreaming as the summers die:
   Ever drifting down the stream -
   Lingering in the golden gleam -
   Life, what is it but a dream?
