I cannot express to you the degree to which I despise that utterly devoid, completely awful and entirely uncreative show.

I loath that program. It, along with Friends and Sex in the City, represent a microcosm of everything wrong with TV and our society.

in defense of "friends":

i also hate that show. very much. you're right, there's something wrong with television and society as a whole when show after show after show follow the following plot:

misunderstanding...confusion...hilarity ensues

still, there is something to be said for "friends", which is this: it's mindless! you can just turn your brain off for half an hour, laugh at stupidity, and lust after jennifer aniston. what's wrong with a little entertainment and relaxation?

I'm kind of a documentary guy. I like movies too. And news. If it is real, I like to watch it. I like that show where those guys build motorcycles and argue all the time. It's like here.

-Saw a National Geographic documentary on the nomadic, aquatic Mokin people of Myanmar last night. Fascinating.

Anywho, I was riding my bike the other day when this guy runs into me and guess what? He didn't have any running or biking insurance so the judge sentenced him to be my coach. My friend Jim wanted to borrow him but I said "He's my coach!!!" Then my other friend Eraine wanted to date him but that was out of the question cuz he shaveded his legs and people thought he was gay. She explained to me that gay men don't shave their legs and we debated on that for a few weeks. She decided to try to get him to change teams but he was too familiar with the equimpent.

It turns out that he has very flat feet and runs barefoot everywhere, that caused some problems when he went to Miejer and couldn't buy my any powerbars. So I had him try to make a monocote disk to make me faster but he explained to me that all I needed was a set of zipps. I thought he was talking about shoes and quickly went to K-smart and got some (you know having flat feet) for about $10 cuz you know those shoe stores are ripping us off with those high priced motion control moon boots.

Then he suggests a new bike but can't make up his mind if it should be carbon, aluminum, steel or whatnot. He is also confused about wheel size. 650 or 700. Well higher should be better he thinks and orders them in a clincher. I get all upset about the fact that clinchers are training wheels and he says that they spin slower so it doesn't make any difference.

Do you want more?

I disagree(at least about the Zoloft bit. It's not for me to judge who needs curcus sex.) Tom will be fine as long as he focuses his anger and uses it for good, rather than evil.

He could ignite the next cycling fad, such as cycling in your wetsuit to both reduce transition times and make you more aero.

I once attended a costume party with a girl I was dating dressed as characters in Cirque de Soleil. It was humiliating. It was not halloween, and she forced me to go in a party store dressed like that to buy a bottle of wine (which I don't even drink) for the party.

However, after the party we had our own version of Cirque de Soleil at her apartment. It was worth a little humiliation. most entertaining.

I did not care for either one.

Seinfeld is trite and stupid and the characters are absurd. The writing is poor IMO.

Sex in the City is so pretentious. I saw a commercial featuring the female characters- I didn't find any of them sexy or alluring. Just whiny and pretentious.

One of the characters in Sex in the City said,

"I've been dating for 15 years, where is he???" The answer is: You're ugly, skinny, self-important, whiny, pretentious and a harsh charicature of yourself- that is why you are still dating with no success..."

The female chracters in that show are utterly undesireable.

It should be called "Whiny, selfish, self-important, unattractive, over the hill desperate women in the city."

The show has body odor.

Actually, you know a show I remember I really liked- and I am not kidding here I am totally serious- I really thought The Waltons was a gem of television writing and production. I loved that show. Maybe becasue it was written from the perspective of John boy Walton, who was trying to develop as a writer- but I loved the family, the chracters, the house, the setting, the writing, the stories- I loved that show.

I doubt a similar show would sell any commercials now.

I think the real answer is that it was a TV show called Sex in the City and it wouldn't be near as interesting if the characters found Mr. Right right away.

I like to watch American Chopper every once in a while as well, but Tom they are all abunch of dumb asses on that show as well! Its sort of like watching WWF. All very staged and coreographed. Lets see, this episode: Paul Sr. bitches because they are running behind, the shop is dirty and he cant find his tools. Paul Jr. reads directly off of the teleprompter while the other son sits in the background and picks his nose and eats it.

Id rather watch all the "nipples" on Friends even though that got old sometimes as well:)

Tom, None of those women are supposed to be "REAL" women. They all represent one, or at most, a couple of facets of the female sexuality. In order explore those facets. . .OF COURSE they become a caricature of the arch-type. Its over the top, and meant to be. You'd have to mix them together in some combination to describe most women.

I dated a girl who would watch that show and so wanted to be one of the characters. She envied them. She thought they represented the epitome of female existence.

In her life, I think she has tried to emulate their behavior. It is as though, when she makes a decision in her life, she either conciously or subconciously models her decisions after chracters on the show. There is no question that, even at 34 years old, they were a powerful role model for her. And she knows for a fact that all her failed relationships are because she hasn't found the right guy.

Those two shows (Seinfeld and Sex in the City) strike a serious nerve with me. Becasue of her, I hate them- and her.

I don't like feeling that way, it takes a lot energy and it is not how I want to be, but it is also an effective defence mechanism. This person screwed me over repeatedly for years. In the end they were niether accountable or honest and have never (and will never) apologize. To her, her conduct was perfectly justifiable and acceptable. There is no reason to apologize.

To me, that is frightening.

Also, I do have somewhat of a confession: I have been dating a fine young lady for about four weeks and it is quite nice. I just got off the phone with her. She is a fine friend and quite a nice young lady.

I agree with you. The use of language is terrific. I think the actor that plays Al Swearingen is awesome. Man, last week's episode was brutal.

The fact that it's loosely based on real events makes it that much more facinating.

There hasn't been anything decent on TV since M*A*S*H and All in the Family. Reality TV sucks, its anything but. If it was "reality" then there would be a show about paying my telephone bill, or commuting. That's it, a show about the daily commute!!! How many idiots will cut me off this morning?

Both were started at the same time and have similar viewed numbers, though this one has been posted on the most.

I predict the WMD will win, b/c while this thread will eventually fizzle out, the WMD thread will linger on as the same 6-7 people argue back and forth for rest of the week.

Also, I do have somewhat of a confession: I have been dating a fine young lady for about four weeks and it is quite nice. I just got off the phone with her. She is a fine friend and quite a nice young lady.

Tom, congratulations and good luck. I only wish my lady friend wasn't 5000, miles away studying why seagulls shouldn't eat McDonalds. By the way that is her phd project in a nutshell. Since this thread is about nothing, and we already know why triathletes shouldn't eat McDonalds. Give me your opinions on why seagulls shouldn't eat McDonalds.

Tom -

I'm surprised you hate Seinfeld so much. Friends and SATC I can see why you hate. I live in NYC (and went to U-M), so watching SATC was sort of required reading. Unfortunately, I agree with you about that show. By the end, I thought it had really disintegrated into a show about overly self-involved, materialistic, narcissistic, aging ingenue-wannabes who cared more about shoes than people, who seemed to think that just being sexy would take of the problems that ordinary people struggle through. It was really revolting, for no other reason that I think it does represent a segment of society here, and some segment of hopefuls out in the rest of America. Of course, I put this on the HBO forum right before the last episode and got flamed and lauded. I also pointed out that it was absurd to hope that Carrie would return to a guy who had treated her like shit and was not likely to commit, but it seemed that women wanted to see the fantasy.

As for Seinfeld, I'm sorry you hate it so much. I guess I wouldn't say that it's particularly well-written, taking the age-old sitcom formula of coincidences and misunderstandings to a slightly higher level. I think most people responded to how well-drawn the characters are, and how inherently comical they are, rather than the writing.

I take it then you were a fan of Frasier, or the West Wing (when its on), which is a remarkably densely written show?

speaking of hijacking (to get off the pc tip),

yesterday i was hijacked by my girl ... we were going to go out and pick up a few household essentials from one of k-wal-get type places, with a "quick" stop to pick up a pair of shoes ... i figure, "great, i could use a new pair of kicks, let's roll."

8 hours later. that's EIGHT, for the hearing impaired i finally return home. now, i signed up for the duty so i'm not looking for any sympathy, but what i'm wondering is ... is eight hours of wandering around malls and various other shopping locals considered training? i mean i was only wearing a pair of $3 rubber flops, so i was working on the whole "foot strength" thing ... and honestly my calves were pretty worked over by the end of the day.

were this an epic camp, would i get any points?

We had lots of conversatios then one day she was like, "You should ask me out..." We had dinner and had a nice time. Three weeks later she kissed me. So far, so good. She is much nicer than I ever deserve.

couple of q's ... 1. are there still slots open? 2. what's the course like? 3. is it really hailing there?

Get back to tv shows dammit...I want to know if the show Search and Rescue Alpha Team really existed or if it was only in my hyperactive imagination. Premise involved some park ranger and his friends and family using animals to help rescue people. I distinctly remember one episode where they tied keys to a ferret who then crawled down a sewer pipe so the guy at the other end could get out (all other ways in very blocked during an earthquake or something). Someone please tell me the show was real (albeit short lived).

And who could ever forget the A-Team in their best of list? Sheesh. The best was how they always kept getting MrT to drink milk laced with sleeping pills so they could get him on planes. Good thing he wasn't lactose intolerant.

"Caveman" is one of the funniest movies ever. Hysterical. The scene where the guy fell into the dinosaur dookie is great. And when Matuzak blew a fart in his sleep and knocked Atook (was that his name?) over -- very funny in an 8th grade sort of way. In fact, I think there should be more fart scenes in movies. Every fart scene makes me laugh uncontrollably. Blazing Saddles, Big Momma's House, Nutty Professor, even Dumb and Dumber -- that stuff is great. Disgusting, but great. I guess I'm still a middle schooler at heart.

hahahah someone over in the PC thread (how the hell did it get that many posts???) is pulling a Sienfeld...trying to throw them off. Not working too well tho. Hey...do those posts count? Can the guys keeping it alive count? Who prefers Booberry over Count Chocula? Who does the voice of the count on Sesame Street? Was count Dracula really a vampire? Anyone ever see the count of Monte Cristo? Speaking of..how about that really hot spanish woman from the tv series Queen of Swords. Shoot...gotta go to work.

Anybody remember the old cartoon "Gigantor"? Early Japanese import, had the world's most annoying theme song.


Gigantor the space age robot, he's at your command

Gigantor the space age robot, his power is in your hands

Gigantor the space age robot, he's at your command

Gigantor the space age robot, his power is in your hands

He's bigger than big, taller than tall

Quicker than quick, stronger than strong

Ready to fight for right...against wrong!

Actually, I never saw the show but I've heard the song many times. There was a cd out some years back that was called Saturday Morning Cartoon's Greatest Hits. It had artists like the Toadies, Liz Phair, the Violent Femmes, Sublime, Butthole Surfers, etc...doing the theme songs from Speed Racer, Johnny Quest, Fat Albert, Popeye,etc...

The only song I liked was Gigantor done by Helmet. In fact I'm listening to it as I type. I don't know about the original, but Helmet's version rocks!! Terrific guitar riff after the vocals!

Check this link:

I also found this somewhere:

What is the difference? In 1932, Popeye creator Elzie Segar created Bluto for a story called "The eight Sea",he was a one-time character described as the worlds most fearless pirate,in 1933, this character was adapted as the main villain in the Fleisher bros Popeye animated cartoons.Later,in the late 50s, King Features ( Who own Popeye ) had a new series of Popeye cartoons done and mistakenly thinking that the Fleishers owned the rights to Bluto ( King Features actually owned him, since he came from the newspaper comics ), created Brutus as a replacement.

If there was one thing I thought this board could reach concensus on it was the fact that Seinfeld was the most funny, witty, entertaining show on TV. Ever! With that, I submit some dialog from two great episodes:

Jerry (on telephone with Kramer): OK Kramer, just stay where you are. Tell me where you are at and I'll come get you.

Kramer: I'm at the corner of 1st and 1st... wait a minute, how can the same street intersect itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe!



or

Elaine: George, since when did you become so smart?

George: I stopped having sex.



more to come...

 The irony of Seinfeld lay in its "nothingness." The TV gods were having a joke at all of our expense. Essentially they were laughing at the fact that they can put "nothing" on and people will go ga ga over it.

Quote:


"Why are we in Jerry's apartment?" "Well, I like to think of this as my conference room. It has a more formal atmosphere, you know, with the shelves... and the furniture." - Silvio and Kramer, in "The Reverse Peephole" "I've cut slices so thin, I couldn't even see them." "How'd you know you cut it?" "Well, I guess I just assumed." - Kramer and Elaine, about his new meat slicer, in "The Slicer" "You have no idea of the magnitude of this thing. If she is allowed to infiltrate this world then George Costanza as you know him ceases to exist. You see, right now I have Relationship George. But there is also Independent George. That's the George you know, the George you grew up with... Movie George, Coffee Shop George, Liar George, Bawdy George." "I love that George." "Me too, and he's dying. If Relationship George walks through this door, he will kill Independent George. A George divided against itself cannot stand!" - George and Jerry, in "The Pool Guy" "The last thing this guy's qualified to give a tour of is reality." - Jerry, about Kramer, in "The Muffin Tops"

"What are you saying?" "I'm not saying anything." "You're saying something." "What could I be saying?" "Well, you're not saying nothing. You must be saying something." "If I was saying something, I would've said it." "Why don't you say it?" "I said it." "What'd you say?" "Nothing." - Jerry and Elaine, in "The Red Dot"

In a effort to get people to post and to further my own culinary ambitions, what's your favorite healthy recipe? Here's one I came up with for salmon.

combine the juice of two grapefruit, 2tbl hot sauce (redhot, tabasco..) 1/2 tsp dillweed 1/2tsp black pepper, dash of salt. Don't be shy on the hot sauce the flavor just barely comes through. Mix well. Add salmon, cover, let marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours turning occasionally. Preheat George Foreman grill, gas grill or broiler. Put salmon on cook for 3-5 minute on a side (or total if using george grill) Enjoy.

All recipes welcome, the above goes great with wild rice.

How're the meds working for you?

Great. For the first time in a long time have some focus. Me and my doctor turned to Strattera out of frustration. He diagnosed me as having adult ADD even though I never had a problem with that as a child or later in my life. I have ADD like symptoms now but he is shy of saying that is what I have. What ever is my issue the Strattera is helping my focus and that is greatly relieving my depression.

She is getting along. My unemployment and issues are a big strain on her. She is a very organized and smart woman and my loopy mind is hard for her to understand.

I can't really blame her. Me and her wieght issues are not the best thing for her right now. All is not lost though. My progress on the medication is giving her hope and the wieght issue is just something she is going to have to work out.

Other than Tri stuff the most relaxing thing to me is detailing cars. I just love all the things that go into making a car great.

Last week I worked on my sister's mini van. I went to town. Washed, wet sand, prep, polish, wax, vaccum, shampoo, etc.

Made that thing look better than it did on the show room. The secert? Wet sanding.

Wet sanding is win you take an incredibly fine specail made sand paper and remove all the swirls and scratches and oxidation from the clear coat. My sister about crapped when she walked into her garage and I was sanding her paint. Using the proper tools and Technique though it is the most uselful thing for a paint that has been ignored for a few years. Also works great on new paint.

I am a Meguairs man but Mothers makes some great stuff.

Michael Richards, heelarious. The perfume episode, where Jerry is dating a model who wears a perfume kramer proposed to calvin klein. He ends up modeling for the ck execs in his tighty whities, falling to the ground while leaning against a wall. I laugh my ass of everytime I see it.

When he is in a fight with a pro golfer, who then kills a guy at the dry cleaners. kramer hears the report on tv, implicating him due to the fight. The look on his face when he hears this, lol right now.

I would enjoy some tibbs commentary on 'the swan,' scotch tape, and match.com.

Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. I'm riding along at 24-25 mph thinking, well guess I have gotten in a lot better shape in the past 4-5 days, or there must be a pretty decent tailwind here. Hmm, I'm pretty sure it must be the former, no wind out here, hell the trees aren't even moving. Boy all this training is really paying off....wrong.

Okay, here is what to do with Mayo (or Miracle Whip) ...

Mix it with ketchup at a 50/50 ratio to create that wonderful condiment known as "fry sauce" to those of us from the Beehive state.

Crown Burgers ... quite possibly the best fast food burger in Utah. Hires gives them a good run for the money.

I heard some restaurants use Thousand Island dressing, but it is not the same as Mayo and Ketchup.

What's a baloot (balut)? . . .

"A baloot is a partially incubated boiled chicken egg. They are considered a delicacy here, and they are also sold by walking street venders. The baloot venders carry them in dual buckets hanging from a pole placed on their shoulder. They shout “balooooot” as they travel their sales routes"

Philippines from late '66-early '69 (Dada was in the Navy). I was told baloots were duck eggs that were incubated in the ground for 21 days, and then pickled or something. Sort of like kim chee. Wouldn't go near one with a ten foot pole.

Bad mistake, I got what I assume was a waterbuffalo patty with an unidentified yellow substance melted on top, which had no cheese like taste or aroma, and I have never been able to describe what it did taste like. I also recieved some unidentified fried root vegatable that seemed to come in various clors and had no taste. My fault for ordering american food in a foreign country.

You know after Desert Storm, we headed back over for a training session with the some of the Kuwaiti SF (yes they were really special but thats another story). We managed to get some cots at Camp Doha while there, during dinner in the Dfac, there was a very, very young soldier from a mechanized battalian who had arrived only a week or two previous and had spent most of that time camped out at Udari range. Needless to say he was ecstatic about getting to eat the hot food that the contractors from Dyncorp (company that had the contract for Doha back in the 90's) was serving up that day.

We were sitting at the table eating when suddenly the young man remarked to no one in particular how good his "burger" tasted - in fact he had never tasted anything quite like this in the states. We were dressed in civies at the time as were planning on some extended R&R downtown later in the evening and could not resist taking advantage of the young troop. I asked him how just many cows had he seen during his stay in Kuwait? He answered that he did not recall having seen any with a puzzled look starting to appear on his face. I asked if he had heard about the grave yard for camel's out on the edge of town and he replied that he had as they had driven by it on the way back into town - "the smell was terrible - why? Trying my best to keep a straight face, I eyed his burger and repeated - how many cows you seen in Kuwait? His face went white as he put two and two together and he did not finish off his hamburger!

Better yet, the next day some of the soldiers from the UN/Nato contingent in the adjacent compound, took a live goat and slaughtered and skinned the animal while US soldiers looked on in utter amazement! One of my "co-workers" broke up the merriment when he remarked "so whats the big deal - where do you think those burgers you been eating everyday over at the DFAC come from?"

I was seeing stars and getting whoosie when one of the dudes asked me if I was ok. I looked up and grinned "Was it as cool as I think it looked?" He did a double take and said "Brother you broke your helmet. Your not thinking straight."

I was thinking straight. I wouldn't have rang my bell and broke my bike if I would have just stayed at my brothers and didn't ride. Instead I got out the door and rode. I crashed becuase I was pushing myself. It was beautiful.

Living on Austin time. [ In reply to ]

I wsa born and raised in Dallas. I am raising a family in Dallas. Have you ever seen Dallas from a DC-9 at night? I love this place.

I have spent a lot of time in Austin. I used to spend summers down there and vist it often to see family.

My last trip down there finaly drove home a point I have always ignored. Austin is where my heart is. To me Dallas is my father. I love it above all others. I know it's secerts, I know it's bad and it's good. It is comfortable like my Dad's house but like my Dad's house it's not my home. I feel free in Austin it's culture suits me more.

So now I will live in Dallas and dream of Austin and in that I will always feel restless and out of place.

A sense of place is good. I've lived in Texas and it's a great place but ohmygod I love northern California- from the beaches, to the bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, the central valley, the foothills, Monterey, Santa Cruz & the mighty Sierras. There is more varied culture & terrain in a half day's drive than anywhere in the US, perhaps the world. Sea kayak SF or Tomales Bay one day, bike the coast range hills in Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano the next, or head for spring skiing at Squaw Valley or break out the play boat for some whitewater kayaking on the American River. And halleluah, the French Laundry re-opened last week.

And two weeks from now its gonna be great doing the Alcatraz tri as a local event. Damn, I'm spoiled.

This is a serious question, not intended to denigrate those choices already thrown out there. . .why, when asked for "favorite album" or "music to be stranded on an island with" do folks inevitably start listing *semi* obscure bands. . .No one EVER brings out well known and far more popular, yet still musically interesting choices. . .

Examples:
Yes, 90125
Pink Floyd, The Wall
AC/DC, Back in Black
U2, War
Stevie Wonder, Talking Book
Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic
Eric Clapton, 461 Ocean Blvd
The Clash, London Calling
The Eagles, Hotel California
Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks
Johnny Cash, Live at San Quentin
Led Zepplin, IV

And I could go on. . .I'm just puzzled why folks always seem to pull out the semi obscure. . .and you rarely see the above and others of their kind listed. . .

Nirvana, Nevermind

Two thoughts:

1) Since the above are pretty much very well-played from their release on - being "Classics" and all - we can all hear them in their entirety in our heads anytime we choose (no need to take them with us) The "obscure" ones are heard less often, maybe only once or twice, possibly not at all, and may take the whole "waiting-for-rescue" time to be played out.

2) They're just trying to be cool.

TriBriGuy, good question. Maybe the answer has to do with the distiction between what is the most popular or commercially successfull and what is best. A lot of times mediocre stuff that appeals to the mass market, the lowest common denominator, is the most successful without being critically acclaimed as the best.

Pixies did it much better.

Favorite covers off the top of my head:
  • Jawbox cover of Cornflake Girl(Tori Amos) - better
  • Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street(Gerry Rafferty) - different but not better
  • Siouxsie & the Banshees cover of Trust in Me(Jungle Book Soundtrack) - very cool
  • Siouxsie & the Banshees cover of Strange Fruit(Billie Holiday) - very good and different, but Billie's version blows it away
  • Pat Benatar cover of Wuthering Heights(Kate Bush) - better
  • Jimi Hendrix cover of All along the Watchtower(Bob Dylan) - better
  • Earth Wind & Fire cover of Got to Get You Into My Life(Beatles) - better
  • Nirvana cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night?/In the Pines(Leadbelly) - better than most of his versions
  • Fishbone cover of Freddie's Dead(Curtis Mayfield) - equally good
  • Pain Teens cover of Story of Isaac(Leonard Cohen) - good, but can't touch the original
  • Mad Season cover of I don't Wanna be a Soldier(John Lennon) - ditto
  • Nine Inch Nails cover of Get Down, Make Love(Queen) - never have heard the original but the NIN cover might be my all-time favorite club song
  • Mark Kozelek(Red House Painters) cover of You Ain't Got a Hold on Me(AC/DC) - completely unrecognizable as an AC/DC tune - which is good in my book :)
  • Living Color cover of Final Solution(Pere Ubu) - both are good
  • Faith No More cover of Midnight Cowboy

This is right in line with some questions that we have come up with on 5+ hour training rides....



So...here I am with a few buddies, and these are educated men mind you (I do NOT put myself into that category). We are riding back home from Lake Geneva Wi on a 100+ degree day...when one of them (CEO of the regions largest health system mind you) informs the crew that "Mr. Happy is dead"...so this rapidly goes down hill and my question (JUST a question as I am not that flexible)...

"If you give yourself head...is that gay?" - My answer is yes...far as I can see, if you are a man - and ever have a dick in your mouth - you are gay...even if it is your own dick. And if you could and you swallow..you are super duper flaming nasty gay - Maplethorpe gay.

What would ever make another man think that I would like to have a conversation while they are completely naked? There should be rules that say that you can be ejected from the locker room for trying to talk to another person while completely naked with a towel around your neck.

The really old men have had the majority of sex that they'll ever have and therefore have absolutely nothing to hide. They aren't concerned whether their wanker is shorter than yours or whether or not you are grossed out or turned on by them. In short, comfort in your birthday suit is a sure sign of maturity. . .unless, of course, you are 20-something. . .in which case you are termed a hedonist.

I'm glad you guys brought this up. I spend quite a bit of time at the gym and in the locker room. I'm fascinated by the various "locker room" styles and the unstated rules. Some people seem more comfortable with nudity than others and it's never who you would expect.

But here's my question: What do guys talk about in the locker room (and I'm talking about grown ups -- not high school/college locker rooms)? In the women's locker room, I hear lots of conversations about work, family, and workouts. I never hear conversations about the guys at the gym. In the mornings, it actually can be pretty quiet, although sometimes there is a small group of regulars that like to yack away (which I hate --too much morning conversation is jarring to the psyche). I'm assuming it's pretty much the same on the other side of the wall. Right?

Not even close. Women have this ability to discuss intimate details with total strangers of the same sex. Men never discuss intimate things with other men, especially in public settings, and NEVER with strangers. Unless you know the guy outside of the gym its rare for more than cursory greetings to be exchanged.

Part of it is the whole multitasking thing. By and large, men can't do it. When we're in the locker room we're already in prep time for the next thing on our schedule. We don't want to interrupt our thought processes to yada yada about inane things. When I'm showering in the AM, I'm already mulling my morning work schedule in my mind. Women seem to be able to do that AND yak at the same time. Its a rare guy that can do that. . .

I coach an age group swim team and a mother reamed out the custodian because someone had put a lock on the locker her 10 yr old soon thought he had put his stuff in. "I'm running late, what kind of facility allows jokes like this...." Custodian said I didn't do it but I can cut the lock off for you. The asked the 2 or three guys in the change room to finish up, the cut the lock. The mother and son looked inside and then left. Didn't even say thank you and both walked away.

In fact, they didn't have the common decency to say sorry that wasn't his locker he used the one right beside it. Of course no the custodian and management are then blindsided by the guy whose lock got cut off.

I am happily visuallizing asking this mother in front of the other parents for $10 to cover the cost of the lock and an apology to both the pool staff and the man whose lock was cut. If all goes as planned she will quit the team and everyone will be happy. I'm sure a Seinfeld episode could have been written about this.

The lock would have been on Jerry's locker and Newman would have mistaken the locker for his own. . .And neither would ever have known who the other was. . .Jerry would have gone into conniptions about unclean invasions of privacy and common decency and Newman would have ended up using the rare cologne Jerry had in the locker that no one else in NY has yet. . .the end of the episode would have had Jerry encountering Newman in the building foyer and smelling the unique cologne. . .NEWMAN!!!!!!!!!!!

The old guys at my Y hang around in the shower talking and swearing at each other for interminable amounts of time. They aren't showering, they're hanging out. they just happen to be naked, and water is spraying them. Then they go into the steam room or the sauna and chat some more. It's an interesting contrast between the old guys who won't put on any clothes and the young guys who wear those baggy swimsuits in the shower.

I think that when you get to a certain point, you just stop caring who sees you naked. (Ask my wife about the time we visited my father in the hospital, and she got to live through a very disturbing version of the Basic Instinct scene. To this day she tires blocking it out.)

One day, that will be you. ;p

Yeah, but there's the creepy gay dudes who do it too. I see them hangin' out naked in the locker room alll the time at my gym. I just don't get that. Of those guys I have a stocker(sp). This guy would orbit around me wherever I was...including the pool...and he doesn't swim. Finally, a couple months ago I caught the guy hanging around the end of the pool. Absolutely no reason for someone to be down there. I was doing some work with the flippers on. I cruised to the end, flipped and splashed the shit out of him! It was so gratifying to finally get him back for the many months of BS! I finally had to tell this dude that even if I were gay, there's no way in hell I'd be interested...that he needed to work on his game a bit cause it's way off. Of course he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about.

One of my buddies who used to swim for SMU and told me many stories about crazed gay dudes stocking the swim team. One guy actually tried to trade their old swim trunks for new ones (?).

I don't have a problem with anyone being gay, just go along with the same gym etiquette everyone subscribes to. Don't be so creepy!

Very close ...

Newman wants the "Secret Cologne" for his own use. Jerry won't disclose how he got it (girlfriend works at DK) Newman sees the cologne in Jerry's gym bag. Newman follows Jerry to the gym and using his best USPS BS, weasles his way past the desk. Newman finds Jerry's locker, changes out of his uniform into grey swaets, and complains to the manager that someone had put a lock on his otherwise unlocked locker, requiring the use of bolt cutters. When the locker is opened, Newman smiles. "Thank you, my good man," and the evil Newman grin as he sprays the cologne on himself draining the small bottle. Jerry discovers the empty bottle on the tile floor. "Newman." Later Jerry gets a call from the DK girl saying the cologne hadn't been tested, but was suspected of causing severe allergic reactions, as Newman enters the apartment gasping and hiving.

Thanks, I aspire to TV writer ... or Foley artist. I often critique my wife's soap opera writers, calling them to task for being such hacks. I can usually predict where a story will go, how long it will take, and what facts they forgot to communicate to the new writers / interns, that disrupt the continuity. It's funny to see stories lose momentum and then just die because the writers went for the big shock, but didn't tie it into anything, so it's all just a waste.

Possibilities (drawn from a web source. . .)
  • 86 Bedford Street was the street address for Chumley's, a rowdy New York speakeasy that often forcibly ejected, or "eighty-sixed," drunk and disorderly patrons.
  • While most bars served 100-proof alcohol, troublesome clients were often served the "watered down" 86-proof booze.
  • A popular menu item was number 86, and so was often out.
  • A very popular New York restaurant only had 85 tables.
  • An early New York streetcar line ran from 14th street to -- you guessed it -- 86th Street. Conductors would call out "Eighty six! End of the line!"
  • In the British merchant marines, crews were held to 85, so the 86th man was left behind.


At any rate, its common usage for cutting something out of the picture, or leaving it out. . .

86 is the jersey number often assigned to tight ends. In the early days of football (1920's), the tight end was the equivalent of the right fielder; this is where you would put the big dumb kid with no mobility, so that he could still play but not mess anything up. These players were often outcast and ridiculed, many ending up in jail, some working the railroads, or as carnies.

"86'ed" means to be excluded.

Glad to help.

"Is Gold Bond Powder the old man equivalent of Tussin?"

Please explain.

On an unrelated topic -- although related to nothing -- today I tried a "Bosu Total Training" class, thinking it was a core strength training class using those half balls (why is everything harder on the balls -- don't answer that). Turned out it was a step class using the bouncy Bosu ball instead of a step. I just spent 2 months laying off almost all running to cure an ankle injury. Did I leave the class, wisely concluding that jumping on and off a bouncy ball would almost certainly put the ankle in jeopardy? HELL NO -- I stayed, thinking I can god damn step with the best of them (you all know how crucial the ability to do step aerobics is to successful multi-sport training). Of course, about halfway through the class, I twisted my ankle and crashed to the ground. When the instructor ran over to see if I was okay, I hopped up and pretended everything was fine. It's not, but hopefully the swelling will go down in a day or two. Whatever. What a dumbass I am.

I was in the elevator yesterday when the power went down. Lights out, dead stop, no emergency power.

Once I'd regained control of my sphincters (I know, I have lead a ridiculously sheltered life) I tried looking for the phone - in the dark, It was only when the power came back on that I realised that it was right at the bottom of the panel. No hope of finding it.

It makes me think I need to have more experience of things like this, so I don't wig out quite so badly next time. I mean, I didn't scream like a three year old with a grazed knee (ok, that might just be me again) , but it was on the checklist.

I had a violently negative reaction to the English Patient. I never read the book, but my take away from the movie was -- never let someone leave you in a cave and don't ever rely on a man to save you. Her dumbass boyfriend treked for days in the desert without coming up with any sort of plan to get back to rescue his "lady love." It's war time and his "strategy" upon arriving at a military camp is to scream "I need a truck". He has an accent, so they throw him in the brig. Who couldn't see that coming a mile away. On the bright side, I did find the Indian character incredibly sexy, though, and enjoyed that part of the story line.

Get a rack of ribs, regular or baby back, and parboil them for around 45 minutes.

Baste the hell out of them, then throw them on the grill(lowest setting possible) for 45 minutes, flipping every 15 minutes. Continue basting maniacally. Enjoy with copious amounts of beer and cheap supermarket potato salad.

Probably would have remounted and given chase but chain was unshipped and despite the smile on my face from my graceful dismount, but as I stood surveying the situation in a steady downpur, for some reason the motivation to continue the race completely vanished - maybe the voice of reason was starting to be heard. Besides, my the bar tape was all scraped on one side and the end plugs was missing in action - grin!

Did anyone see the sequel to that? It was supposed to be horrible.

One of the worst movies of all time: Armageddon. So bad I couldn't even watch very much of it.

Independence Day was horrible too.

Quite honestly, I think most movies that come out these days are bad or overrated. Especially the big budget action movies. For example, Gladiator was very overrated.

yeah, but Buscemi was great - sort of like the line from Reservoir Dogs -"that's easy for you to say, you don't have to be Mr. Pink"

I think it's resigned curiosity. I think you become invested in the movie, and even though it sucks, you want to see how it ends. There are very few movies that have been so horrible that I have just turned them off. Down With Love was such a film. My wife and I both love Renee Zellweger and Ewan MacGregor, and we kept waiting for it to get better, and it kept not getting better. Finally, with around 20 minutes left, we turned it off.

Since then, we have become much more arbitrary about turning off movies that seem to suck early on. Occasionally, you misjudge a movie like Donnie Darko(which I am still ambivalent about, but was at least interesting), but more often than not, it doesn't make a difference.

The beauty of Netflix: View as many movies as you want for one fixed price.
The horror of Netflix: Many of them suck.

The last movie I wish I had walked out of was Punch-Drunk Love with Adam Sandler. All the critics seemed to love it so we just kept waiting for it to get better. Never happened. But I'm like you, I keep thinking a bad movie will get better. The last movie I couldn't finish was The Slugger's Wife and that was close to 20 years ago.

Pokemon trips me out. I was stuck in Tyler, GA for a week and was so bored that I tried to sit through a Pokemon episode. They got swallowed by a whale that took them to a gas station on the sea floor to get some snacks. I was convinced that it was written by a bunch of stoners that got the munchies half way through writing it. After watching that and the Scooby Doo I believe that you have to be stoned most of the time to write cartoons.

After seeing the first picture on Dan's deck article, it reminded me of the Seinfeld where Kramer wanted his whole apartment to be different levels. Anyone else think that?

KRAMER: I'm completely changing the configuration of the apartment. You're not gonna believe it when you see it. A whole new lifestyle.

JERRY: What are you doing?

KRAMER: Levels.

JERRY: Levels?

KRAMER: Yeah, I'm getting rid of all my furniture. All of it. And I'm going to build these different levels, with steps, and it'll all be carpeted with a lot of pillows. You

know, like ancient Egypt.





Besides, it was an excuse to dig up the Seinfeld thread.

I really should have watched more episodes of Seinfeld..then more of these posts would make sense to me..as it is I am resigned to continuing with the topic of nothing...where am I and why am I still up at 1am? My night shift stint is over for another two weeks..go to bed man. Anyone else have to work more than one shift? It's really starting to bite. Although it does leave me with lots of free time to do tris since I only work 4/10hr shifts per week..Fridays and weekends off. Too bad it's killing ever so slowly. Sigh..time for a Nytol.

I always found that working the night shift put me in an almost altered state after a while. Being up night after night, then going to sleep when the sun comes up, it's just not natural(except in the context of a party, naturally). Your thought processes change, your awareness changes, it's very strange.

When I was in the Air Force, I worked a swings and mids schedule, so I didn't sleep right for over two years.(try finding a good sleep schedule when you work 3 swing shifts, then 3 midnight shifts, then have three days off.) Later, I worked a job that was straight mid shifts, and that was no fun either.

I liked being out in the city at night (moving through Boston, when there is hardly anyone there is reminiscent of those post-apocalyptic movies), but the rest of my life was unmanageable. You just can't sleep all day and have a life at the same time. Well, I can't anyway.

I've been reviewing the posts, and I think that we may need to change the name of the thread. The judges who initially stated that this was a thread about nothing were mistaken. The thread is actually about something, however that something is pointless and ephemeral. So while renaming hte thread will hopelsessly confuse everyone on the forum, and make it difficult to find it, we may, for the sake of propriety, have to call it something else.

This, of course, begs the question: What about all the other threads? Indeed, I think we shall appoint a committee to review all threads on the slowtwitch forum to A) determine whether they should be in the main forum or in the Lavender Room, and B) review the content of the thread and rename the thread accordingly.

Perhaps we could nominate Mr. Tibbs to be the Grand Inquisitor, er, I mean, Independent Counsel, to lead the investigation.

George lets out a depressed sigh while reading a card)

ELAINE: What?

GEORGE: Nothing. It's a card from my dad.

ELAINE: What is it? (Grabs the card from George, he tries to stop her, but fails. She reads it out loud.) "Dear son, Happy Festivus." What is Festivus?

GEORGE: It's nothing, stop it..

JERRY: When George was growing up..

GEORGE: (Interrupting) Jerry, No!

JERRY: His father..

GEORGE: No!

JERRY: Hated all the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas, so he made up his own holiday.

ELAINE: Ohhhh.. and another piece of the puzzle falls into place.

GEORGE: (pleading) Alright..

JERRY: And instead of a tree, didn't your father put up an aluminum pole?

(Elaine starts laughing uncontrollably - and continues to do so)

GEORGE: Jerry! Stop it!

JERRY: And weren't there a feats of strength that always ended up with you crying?

(Jerry joins in with Elaine's laughter)

[Setting: H&H Bagel Shop]

FRANK: Kramer, I got your message. I haven't celebrated Festivus in years! What is your interest?

KRAMER: Well, just tell me everything, huh?

FRANK: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reach for the last one they had - but so did another man. As I rained blows opon him, I realized

there had to be another way!

KRAMER: What happened to the doll?

FRANK: It was destroyed. But out of that, a new holiday was born. "A Festivus for the rest of us!"

KRAMER: That musta been some kind of doll.

FRANK: She was.

(Scene ends)

[Setting: H&H Bagel Shop]

(Frank is still telling Kramer about Festivus)

FRANK: And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and you tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year.

KRAMER: Is there a tree?

FRANK: No. Instead, there's a pole. It requires not decoration. I find tinsel distracting.

KRAMER: Frank, this new holiday of yours is scratching me right where I itch.

FRANK: Let's do it then! Festivus is back! I'll get the pole out of the crawl space. (Turns to leave, meets up with Elaine)

ELAINE: Hello, Frank.

FRANK: Hello, woman. (leaves)

[Setting: the Coffee Shop]

(Frank and Kramer enter. Frank is dragging an aluminum pole)

KRAMER: Well, Happy Festivus.

GEORGE: What is that? Is taht the pole?!

FRANK: George, Festivus is your heritage - it's part of who you are.

GEORGE: (Sulking) That's why I hate it.

KRAMER: There's a big dinner Tuesday night at Frank's house - everyone's invited.

FRANK: George, you're forgetting how much Festivus has meant to us all. I brought one of the casette tapes. (Franks pushes play, George as a child celebrating

Festivus is heard)

FRANK: Read that poem.

GEORGE: (Complaining) I can't read it. I need my glasses!

FRANK: You don't need glasses, you're just weak! You're weak!

ESTELLE: Leave him alone!

FRANK: Alright, George. It's time for the feats of strength.

(George has a break down)

GEORGE: No! No! Turn it off! No feats of strength! (Gets up and starts running out of the coffee shop) I hate Festivus!

FRANK: We had some good times.

[Setting: The Costanza's house]

GEORGE: Happy Festivus!

FRANK: George? This is a surprise. (Looking at Kruger) Who's the suit?

GEORGE: Yo, dad. This is my boss, Mr. Kruger.

FRANK: Have you seen the pole, Kruger?

GEORGE: Dad, he doesn't need to see the pole.

FRANK: He's gonna see it.

(Enter Jerry and Elaine. Elaine is still ugly from the steam)

GEORGE: Happy Festivus! (Sees Elaine) Yama - Hama!

ELAINE: I didn't have time to go home. What are you doing here?

GEORGE: Embracing my roots.

JERRY: They nailed you on the 20 G's?

GEORGE: Busted cold.

(Cut to Kruger and Frank)

(They're looking at the Festivus pole)

FRANK: It's made from aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.

KRUGER: I find your belief system fascinating.

(Enter Kramer)

(Kramer's with the two bookies from Horse Track Betting)

KRAMER: Hey! Happy Festivus, everyone! (Hugs George, and jumps up and down) Hee, hee, hee!

BOOKIE: Hello again, Miss Benes.

ELAINE: What are you doing here?

BOOKIE: Damnedest thing.. me and Charlie were calling to ask you out, and, uh, we got this bagel place..

KRAMER: (Finishing the story) I told them I was just about to see you.. It's a Festivus miracle!

(Estelle comes through the kitchen door, hitting Kramer as she opens it)

ESTELLE: Dinner's ready!

FRANK: Let's begin.

(Everyone sits around the table. Kruger recognized Kramer from "The Meat Slicer" episode..) KRUGER: Dr.. Van Nostrand?

KRAMER: Uh.. that's right.

(Cut to Frank)

FRANK: Welcome, new comers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear

about it! You, Kruger. My son tells me your company stinks!

GEORGE: Oh, God.

FRANK: (To George) Quiet, you'll get yours in a minute. Kruger, you couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe.. I lost my train of thought.

(Frank sits down, Jerry gives a face that says "That's a shame". Gwen walks in)

GWEN: Jerry!

JERRY: Gwen! How'd you know I was here?

GWEN: Kramer told me.

KRAMER: Another Festivus miracle!

(Jerry gives Kramer a death stare. He shuts up. Gwen notices Elaine)

GWEN: I guess this is the ugly girl I've been hearing about.

ELAINE: Hey, I was in a shvitz for 6 hours. Give me a break.

(Gwen leaves, Jerry follows)

JERRY: Gwen. Gwen, wait! Ah! (runs back to his seat) Bad lighting on the porch.

ELAINE: (To bookie) Hey, how'd my horse do?

BOOKIE: He had to be shot.

FRANK: And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.

GEORGE: Not the feats of strength..

FRANK: This year, the honor goes to Mr. Kramer.

KRAMER: Uh-oh. Oh, gee, Frank, I'm sorry. I gotta go. I have to work a double shift at H&H.

JERRY: I thought you were on strike?

KRAMER: Well, I caved. I mean, I really had to use their bathroom. Frank, no offence, but this holiday is a little (makes a series of noises) out there.

GEORGE: Kramer! You can't go! Who's gonna do the feats of strength?

(Exit Kramer)

KRUGER: (Sipping liquor from a flask) How about George?

FRANK: Good thinking, Kruger. Until you pin me, George, Festivus is not over!

GEORGE: Oh, please, somebody, stop this!

FRANK: (Taking off his sweater) Let's rumble!

(Cuts to an outside view of the Costanza's house)

ESTELLE: I think you can take him, Georgie!

GEORGE: Oh, come on! Be sensible.

FRANK: Stop crying, and fight your father!

GEORGE: Ow! .. Ow! I give, I give! Uncle!

FRANK: This is the best Festivus ever!

Any body out there purchased the 9 dvd Seinfeld collection? I have seen this on ebay and other online sources recently.

I assume it is someone that has vcr'd every episode then burnt them to DVD. For around $100 it seems like the bargin of the century for a hardcore fan like myself, considering the price per series of the official DVD's.

Would appreciate any feedback on others purchasing experiences.

I don't know about the "bootlegs," but to get all the dvd's, I plan to wait until Blockbuster gets them all and then rent them and rip them to my own dvd discs.

I got DVD Seasons 1 through 3, haven't seen too much of it yet but I really like the Yada Yada special feature, where the crew gives commentary while the episode runs. It's tough to follow the episodethat way, but it is funny to hear them talk the outdated fashion and stuff that happened on the set, while you see it happen. The best is Larry David, it is amazing how much of the stuff in that show actually happened to him. Like the "rules" to arrange "this, that and the other" between Jerry and Elaine, he actually proposed those rules to a lady friend.

Unfortunately they didn't do every episode that way, maybe 2-3 per disc. And only one of them then has Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld doing th commentary, another one has the three other major characters doingthe commentary and then sometimes it's one of the other writers.

But regardless it is funny, and apparently Curb your Enthusiasm is much the same way in that as hard as it is to believe, most of the stuff has actually happened to him.

So what's the deal with the green mountain bike hanging vertically in Jerry's apartment? I think it's a Klein. Seems like it was there for the entire run of the show. Any comments on his saddle height?

There - I've now brought this thread on topic. (almost, sorta)

In the first season, the bike was a green Klein, but somehow, the fork seemed to be on backward.
Cannondale Super Killer V appeared in one episode in the second season, but was later rumored to be stolen.
The green Klein returned with the fork mounted the right way.

The bikes in "Seinfeld's" apartment are actually the personal mountain bikes of actor Michael Richards, "Kramer" on the show. Jerry does not ride.

Episode #165: The Apology

Melissa, [naked - wheeling out Jerry's bicycle]: "OK, Jerry. I fixed that bike."
Jerry: "Oh. That wasn't really necessary. I don't ride it. It's just for show."
Melissa, [crouching down next to the bike]: "I should really clean those bearings. Hold this. Look at all that gunk."
Jerry: "Please don't crouch."
Melissa: "Ouch! Caught my skin."
Jerry: "Oh, that's bad. Especially that area."
Melissa: "You got anything to snack on?"
Jerry: "Uhh..."
Melissa, [grabbing the pickle jar and straining to open it]: "Oh, pickles! Unnhhhh! It's a tough one."

Kramer: Well, you know, we were playing a game and, you know, I was pitching,

guy, you know, he was crowding the plate.

Jerry: Wow! Joe Pepitone!

Kramer: Yeah, well, Joe Pepitone or not, I own the inside of that plate. So I
throw one, you know, inside, you know, a little chin music, put him right on his
pants. Cause I gotta intimidate when I'm on the mound. Well the next pitch,
he's right back in the same place. So, I had to plunk him.

Jerry: You plunked him.

Kramer: Oh yeah. Well, he throws down his bat, he comes racing up to the
mound. Next thing, both benches are cleared, you know? A brouhaha breaks out
between the guys in the camp, you know, and the old Yankee players, and as I'm
trying to get Moose Skowron off of one of my teammates, you know, somebody pulls
me from behind, you know, and I turned around and I popped him. I looked down,
and woah man, it's Mickey. I punched his lights out.

So today I go into the bagel shop to grab a bite for lunch. There aren't but a few people there, but enough to form a bit of a line at the counter. This guy comes in behind me and sidles up kind of close. He's whistling and acting all antsy. I don't think much of it, but when the line moves, I take the opportunity to add to my personal space by moving as far down the counter as possible. Like some sort of pilot fish, this guy sidles right up along with me, cramping right up next to me on the counter. Darn close-standers.

I know why the customer was so displeased...Tom's got skinny mirrors. That's right! Bikesport's full of skinny mirrors! This one was just on, and I love it - so many classic lines...

The George Castanza Philosophy of Work

Never walk down the hall without a document in your hands. People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hand look like they're heading for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper look like they're heading for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do.
Use computers to look busy. Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal email, calculate your finances and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss - and you *will* get caught - your best defense is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars.
Messy desk. Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like you're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.
Voice Mail. Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That's no way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they're not there - it looks like you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel. If you diligently employ the method of screening incoming calls and then returning calls when nobody is there, this will greatly increase the odds that the caller will give up or look for a solution that doesn't involve you. The sweetest voice mail message you can ever hear is: "Ignore my last message. I took care of it". If your voice mailbox has a limit on the number of messages it can hold, make sure you reach that limit frequently. One way to do that is to never erase any incoming messages. If that takes too long, send yourself a few messages. Your callers will hear a recorded message that says, "Sorry, this mailbox is full" - a sure sign that you are a hardworking employee in high demand.
Looking Impatient and Annoyed. According to George Costanza, one should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy.
Appear to Work Late. Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read but have no time until late before leaving. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important emails at unearthly hours (e.g. 9:35pm, 7:05am, etc.) and during public holidays.
Creative Sighing for Effect. Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are very hard pressed.
Stacking Strategy. It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor etc Can always borrow from library. Thick computer manuals are the best.
Build Vocabulary. Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use it freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember: They don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: DON'T forward this to your boss by mistake!!!

Are you talking to me?

I said, are you talking to me?

Well, maybe, he was talking to me. Was you talking to him? Because you was obviously talking to one of us. So what is it? Who?! Who was you talking to?!

Well, I'm sorry. There's just no way that we could keep you on.

I cannot express to you the degree to which I despise that utterly devoid, completely awful and entirely uncreative show.


This was the first reply to the thread....interesting take on what is certainly an iconic comedic show that holds up well on repeated viewings and many years later. But also an interesting confirmation that like art, comedy, or certain forms of it, are not everyone's cup of tea.

And that was a lot to say about a show about....nothing....

**************************************************

Open Jerry's apartment, Jerry is at the table and Elaine is on the phone)



Elaine: (to the phone)Well did he bring it up in the meeting?



(Jerry picks up a yellow shirt and walks to Elaine)



Jerry: Elaine, see this T-shirts, six years I've had this T-shirts, it's my

best one, I call him...Golden Boy

Elaine: I'm on the phone here.

Jerry: Golden Boy is always the first shirt I wear out of the laundry, here

touch Golden Boy!

Elaine: No thanks. (to the phone)Yeah, Yeah I'll hold.

Jerry: But see look at the collar, see it's fraying. Golden Boy is slowly

dying. Each wash is brings him one step closer, that's what makes

the T-shirts such a tragic figure.

Elaine: Why don't you just let Golden Boy soak in the sink with some

Woolight?

Jerry: No!!! The reason he's iron man* is because he goes out there and plays

every game. Wash!!! Spin!!! Rinse!!! Spin!!! You take that away

from him, you break his spirit!

*****************************************************

*so we can say this is triathlon related....

From "The Marine Biologist", first aired February, 1994.

I was all set to buy a bike from Bike Sport Michigan, but given Tom's negative comments about Seinfeld, I'll have to shop somewhere else. In addition, I have a new name for Tom, "the Bike Nazi". And instead of "NO SOUP FOR YOU", it's now, "NO FIT FOR YOU". Giddyup!!!!

I miss Seinfeld!
There were ups and downs, hits and misses with the writing but mostly it was great TV. Throw out any of the various names: soup nazi, re-gifter, low-talker, high-talker, close-talker, Bob Sackamano, Putty, and Hello, Newman and people know what you're talking about. It never conformed to the formula and even when Jerry and Elaine did hook-up it was barely mentioned in passing. No break-up/make-up cycles which was really refreshing. The ending did leave something to be desired but, considering that it was still on top with so many die-hard fans begging for it to stay on, it's not surprising. I still compare sit-coms to this standard and it's been off the air (not counting the repeats) for years.
