Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease
Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero. She:
- was admitted to Julliard at 8.
- was performing in top venues by 16.
- pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.
- was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.
- went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.” Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.
- refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.
She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten. But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.
Let’s un-forget her.

The One with Joey’s Mom
Ross is horrified to discover upon waking that his limbs all now bend the precise opposite directions. Frantically seeking help, he tries to get in touch with the others, but can’t figure out how to interact with any of his belongings.
Monica starts hearing the audience’s laughter and concludes she’s going insane. She tells Chandler about it but when he tries to reply coins gush endlessly out of his mouth. Through them he gurgles at her, “could I be barfing any more coins?”
Phoebe takes apart an old pocket watch in the middle of Central Perk Café and eats each piece one at a time with a little dollop of whipped cream. After each swallow she smiles delightedly at the other customers and daintily wipes her mouth with the corner of a napkin, announcing “I’m on a diet!”
Rachel is at first flattered, then alarmed when she notices increasing numbers of people sporting her exact hairstyle and referring to it as “The Rachel”.
Joey finally climbs out of his mother’s pouch.

Woody with a Dry Finish
Sam and Woody start a contest over who can make the worst drink, and end up sending a customer to the hospital.
Norm fuses permanently with his bar seat but shrugs it off because now he’ll be able to sit down wherever he goes.
Rebecca won’t stop slamming the office door but her fury scares the others too much to ask her why she’s upset. When Paul finally works up the courage to talk to her, she bites his hand off and swallows it whole, never breaking eye contact.
Cliff brings a bear into the bar to prove to the others once and for all that he’s not a coward, but is disappointed when they still don’t respect him even after he gets mauled to death.
When a man shows up claiming to be a reincarnated Coach, Frasier tries to suss out the truth through hypnotherapy. Somehow the man knows all the details of all of their lives. When Frasier mutters aloud, “how is this possible?” the man, still in a trance, replies, “I watch the show.”
Carla stands on the bar and grins directly into the camera throughout the entire episode.
