Glue?

Yeah, when I was in the military, one guy was always volunteering to be part of a crew finishing a building involving glue. Later I found him in the toilet with his wrists slashed. We managed to save him. Needless to say, he got discharged. Btw, how can anybody find 'Friends' funny? Total crap.

Long ago, I once turned on the show.  After 5 minutes, I turned it off.  100% uninteresting.

 

Years later, I did the exact same thing with The Big Bang Theory, although I may have lasted only 3 minutes.

I am sorry that Matthew Perry is gone, but Married With Children trumps all for '90s sitcoms.

Not unless you're counting British stuff like 'Bottom'.

RIP, Matthew Perry!  :rose: :rose:  I liked him in the new Odd Couple he was in for a few years.  So many substance abuse issues; I was glad when he started to get sober. It seems like it would be hard to be unknown one day and so famous a few months later from Friends; he dealt with a lot of challenges for sure.

Yes, the studio audience must've been subjected to laughing gas.

I watched Friends one time and that was only because of the person whose room it was said that's what we were going to watch. She now loves shows like The Bachelor and the "Real" Housewives of type shows. Make of that what you will. RIP Matthew.

I was never a fan, but Mr Perry was great being so open about his addictions trying to help others. RIP.

We love our junk food, don’t we?  Whether we eat it or watch it, we love it!  We even debate which junk is better….:biggrin:

Sounds like a cumulative effect on the ticker.

Watching 'Friends' isn't going to be the same now that Matthew Perry is gone. I'm still a little shocked by the news. He will be missed :rose:

At one point, his gums were so diseased from his debauched lifestyle that his top front teeth fell out as he bit into toast spread with peanut butter, and he found himself carrying them to the dentist in a plastic bag.

John Entwistle of The Who tortured his heart.  He smoked every day, he had high blood pressure, severe heart disease, and lots and lots of cocaine use over the years.  One final cocaine binge did him him.  His heart said, "OK, I quit."   No tragedy there - just the logical consequence of one's actions.

He went through some stuff, especially with his stomach/ colon. What's so heartwarming is Mr Perry's happiness at helping others kick their habit. All the money, notoriety, this simple gesture helping others still seemed very important to him. He turned stuff around, then helped others others. Cool dude. RIP.
