Editors Note:
We're famous! This game was mentioned in Entertainment Weekly and
Supervising Producer Jeff Greenstein writes:
I circulated a copy among
the cast, crew, and writing staff, 'cause I thought it was so
funny that it said "drink everything in sight if you see
Phoebe and Ursula together", when we were shooting that
very episode.
Disclaimer:
This is a game. This is only a game. If using alcoholic
beverages, do not drive. Do not operate heavy machinery. Do not
pass go. Do not collect $200.
Instructions:
Gather friends (if applicable) around TV set. Place drinks,
