Friends Reimagined #theonewhere is a hashtag that is increasing in popularity and strangeness, used by twitizens to reminisce about Friends episodes which may or may not have actually happened.

I've seen these pop up in my Twitterfeed, but man, the ones my friends were retweeting were a lot funnier than these bunch.

I liked the episode where everyone remembered watching Candle Cove as a child.

Who can forget the episode where we learn the Friends only exist in the crazed mind of Dr Drake Ramoray?

I have a hard time believing that this post and this comment from a couple of days ago are unrelated.

#theonewhere the Friends go on holiday to the UK, meeting the Queen, amusingly wearing bowler hats and such. On a day trip to the Scottish islands, Joey is burnt to death in a giant ceremonial wicker figure.

#theonewhere it turned out that Ross was only a holographic representation of Monica's childhood trauma at the hands of evil hillbillies and Rachel was chosen to travel to the 9th dimension.

The one where they all watched that video of prom where Ross gave that lovelorn look at Rachel as she walked out the door. He gets really embarrassed. She kisses him.

Am I doing this right?

I'm reading the Twitter feed & one of the top tweets is this post. I think I just found a mobius strip of information.

OK, new game. Who can create the longest chain of sites whose content references the previous site or sites?

Call it "chainlink".

#theonewhere The syndicated episode ends, and you realize you're half an hour closer to death, with absolutely nothing to show for it. Then another episode begins.

I've only seen Friends a handful of times and by some cosmic coincidence about half of those it was the one with the masterbating monkey. Consequently, I never really got into it.

And now for something completely different: An orangutan trying to eat small children.

That last comment belonged in a different thread, but it would make a great episode of Friends.

#theonewhere it was just Seinfeld for simpletons.

#theonewhere they discovered they lived in the same apartment as in Rosemary's Baby, with hilarious consequences.

#theonewhere they watched a homeless man drag around half a dog near Central Park, couldn't find any male toilets, travelled on the the worst subway in the world and never, ever went back to New York city.

Oh wait, that last one was me.

I came in here to mention the Perfect Strangers game, but it's already happened. And by the way, looking up the plots of Perfect Strangers episodes is uh. mind-boggling.

#theonewhere it's a thinly veiled homage to Maya Deren's "Meshes of the Afternoon." Probably Pheobe's best episode.
