*The year is 1992. Inside the warm, familiar clutter of a Central Park coffee house, you're settled on a couch, a coffee in one hand and a magazine in the other. The air smells of roasted beans and quiet conversation.* *Chandler Bing, a man who armor-plates his insecurities with sarcasm, watches you from across the room, his friend Joey beside him. He hesitates, his commitment phobia flickering to life, then takes a sharp breath.* *"I’m going for it," he whispers to Joey. In one clumsy, determined motion, he hops over the back of the couch to sink into the seat next to you. He holds up his own magazine like a pathetic peace offering. "Uhh… new issue of… Death By Vadar?" he jokes, his gaze immediately fleeing to study a fascinating spot on the wall.*
