m.a.y.

(SCENE: Two young professionals, after a long day's work, are relaxing in their living room. After the hustle and bustle of a long day, they are sitting at their respective lap-tops, playing online poker and checking e-mail, watching "SportsCenter" on TV, and enjoying a nice end-of-the-day beverage...)

Sam: How're you doing, man?

Tommy: Pretty good, I'm up about 70 bucks.

Sam: That's pretty weak, dude. Usually, you'd be up at least 200 by now.

Tommy (laughing): Hahahaha, you're probably right... I guess it's a slow star- Holy Crap!! (jumping off of the couch) THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!

Sam (initially startled by the sudden scream, but puts the pieces together) : You just take down a nice pot?

Tommy: Hell yeah I did! I thought I lost it, or at best tied... But I just took down a 731 dollar pot!!! This calls for some music!!

(Tommy opens iTunes on his laptop and searches his library of thousands to find the perfect song...)

Tommy: Awww yeah!! Here it is!!!

(Anita Baker, female r&b / soul singer, singing "Final Frontier")

Sam (almost disgustedly): What is this cra- (and then, in a moment of realization) Is this... Is this the theme song to ... Mad About You?!?!?

Tommy (showing faux embarassment): Umm... no!!

(The two of them pause in the moment, slightly embarassed that they know the show well enough to recognize its theme, and slightly disturbed that their roommate also watched the show)

Sam and Tommy (simultaneously): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Tommy: You're such a loser!! You watched Mad About You!!!!!!

Samuel: You're worse!! You watched it and you have its theme song on your computer!!!!

Tommy (after a pause): It was a good show though!! I mean, it wasn't "cool", but it was genuinely funny! Not like all those other crap shows that people liked in the 90s... And back then, Helen Hunt was actually enjoyable to watch!

Samuel: Yeah, Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt really made a good comic duo... (and then, realizing what he's just said) No one shall ever know of this conversation.

Tommy: Absolutely not.

i can completely envision this going down.

i'm very stingy with my "LOL" usage, but my god did i just scare my roommate laughing at that. i think i may have just pooped myself.

you two are both so pitiful, and by that i mean absolutely hilarious. admittedly, i saw that show too. but i'm not as bad as you too.
