perhaps, perhaps

my new favorite tv show is this Brit comedy called 'Coupling'.. it's not that new actually, but i only started downloading them a few weeks back, and i tell you it's hilarious! it's similar to 'Friends' in that it has three guys and three gals.. but all semblances of similarity stop right there! there is no moral to every episode, like in 'Scrubs'.. like the name suggests, the only thing pretty much preoccupying the minds of our six here is.. well, is 'coupling'!! ergo, we come back to this loony bunch with their eccentricities. a perfect mix of sex and humor, sang-froid and stiff wit, joie de vivre and embarrassment. check out the website for some clips as well as quotes..

talking of quotes, here are some from the character named Jeff, who is the completely antithesis of Joey (from Friends), henceforth to be known as The Wisdom Of Jeff.. [Jeff has just been complimented on his fine ass by a female colleague at work who he has the hots for, here is his passionate ode to the human rear end]..

"does she dislike me facially, or like me bottomly? it's a big deal! you know what asses are? asses are the human race's favorite thing. we like them on each other, we like them on magazine covers, we even like them on babies! when we're alone we like to scratch them, and when there is a fire we like to warm them.. and who among us in a lonely moment hasn't reached back for a discreet fondle?!

we love our asses! when God gave us our asses he had to stick them around the back just so we wouldn't sit and stare at them all day! that is cos when God made the ass, he didn't just say 'hey, it's just your basic hinge, now let's knock off early', he said 'behold ye angels, i have created.. the ass.. throughout the ages now men and women shall grab hold of these and shout my name!'.."

in another memomarable moment, sitting at the bar where they usually hang out (as opposed to the coffee shop in Friends, again).. [here the boys are discussing undressing etiquette]..

"I mean, where exactly do you take your socks off? My advice is to take them off right after your shoes, and before your trousers. That’s the sock gap. Miss it, and suddenly you’re a naked man in socks. No self-respecting woman will ever let a naked man in socks do the squelchy with her."

one more, where the boys are discussing the merits and demerits of certain items of the female wardrobe..

"You know what’s great about skirts? When a woman’s wearing a skirt, you know, you know, that somewhere in that room, shifting all the time, there is the VAA: the Visual Access Angle. A clear line of sight back to base camp."

now get out there and go look for the DVDs.. they have 4 seasons of it!
(NB: the title to this post is actually the theme song for the show)
