I don't remember them being friends in high school. I thought that
she was snobby and mean, and that's why it was a big impact when she
changed during the first time jump. Or maybe I'm just
misremembering. (They are so getting together, though.)

Absolutely. Who'd have ever thought that Les would find love again?
And for the record, he's much better looking in his middle age. Hubba
Hubba!

IIRC, in addition to McArnold's, they also had Burger Barn.

I don't remember what Cindy was like, back then. I don't remember Les
having *any* friends. Still, this scene seems believable enough to
me. Even as cliquish as high school was, people from different groups
did have occasional friendly interaction.

He's turned out to be the best looking in the bunch. Especially
compared to Funky.

Seems to me she had her mean moments after the first jump, too.
Somebody please tell me if I'm mixed-up about this, but it seems to
me that when she left Funky, she cleaned out their apartment,
Grinch-like, leaving Funky with barely a crumb that was even too
small for a mouse. Bear in mind, they were living in that modest
apartment over Montoni's, and Cindy had landed a hot-shot job on
Network TV -- it had to cost her more to transport all of the old
crap she stole from Funky, than she would have spent to buy a whole
apartment-full of new stuff at Ikea. Yeah, she bought him a PT
Cruiser, but this hardly seemed to make up for the wanton and
needless cruelty of leaving Funky bereft of even a chair or a rug.
And I don't recall Funky doing anything to "deserve" this treatment
(again, maybe I've forgotten something) -- this was before he became a
drunk.

I agree with your assessment except for your last line. I'm pretty sure
their marriage was already falling apart due to the drinking, before she
got the big break in the big apple.

It may have been a plotline where they both ended up dateless that
evening, she ate with him for something to do, found he was ok, but
then naturally had to go back to ignoring him as that's how life was
suppose to be.

You have to ask. And he has to say it's cool.

I remember this little arc from back in the day, and you're exactly
right. They were both dateless and ran into each other at the
pizzeria, decided to eat together because it was slightly less
embarrassing than sitting alone, and ended up having a great time
together. But it was a one-time thing that neither of them ever told
anyone else about...at least not while they were in high school.
Maybe one or both of them mentioned it to Funky at some point down the
road.

Or the clown who wears a leather jacket and says "Aaaaaayyyy!"?
