EVER LISTEN to the comments in a crowd? This particular crowd said things like "Wait! I need my arm!" and "I can't breathe!"

Don't vote 'Friends' off primetime isle

DESPITE the numerous Rugby Road fraternity parties and bar crawls on Thursday nights, I live for this particular evening for one reason - NBC's 'Friends.' I tune in every week to hear Phoebe's newest whacked out philosophy and hear Joey hit on another innocent victim, and believe me, if I happen to be out that evening and my VCR malfunctions, no one wants to be around to witness my rage.
