Seinfeld is my all-time favorite show. Every episode is great in some way. And George is just the pinnacle of pathetic. I think my all-time favorite line is one I don't hear often. Morty surprises Elaine with a visit to her office, and he asks "Whats the square-footage?" To me, that just... sums up the boring conversation old people like to make

If you REALLY want to get technical about ZIP codes, here ya go. The numbers designate the location in the country the destination is at. East Coast ZIPs mostly start with 0 or 1 and work their way up to 9 as you move toward the West Coast. The second number and third number designates how far North and South you go. The most North is designated 9 and goes down to 0 the more you move South (i.e. Alaska is 99xxx and San Diego is 90xxx). The ZIP+4 is mostly for sorting a route at the local mail carrier's level and yes, using them does speed up delivery if the optical reader can make heads or tails of your lovely handwriting.

Hahaha, The Van Buren Boys is so good. I love the whole Jerry plot with his girlfriend (Christine Taylor) and how she's just inexplicably a "loser" and all of his friends instantly recognize her as such. Meanwhile to Jerry and the audience there's absolutely nothing wrong. And then I think about it, and I really do know people like her. It also has my favorite George quote of all time: "Finishing an entire book doesn't prove anything." Relayer fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jun 24, 2010 |

I love Seinfeld because I have seen every episode but sometimes I wont always remember some of the subplots to the show. For example last night I was cooking and walked into the other room and noticed Jerry asked to use the bathroom to wash his hands. I immediately knew this is the episode he found the fungal cream in the chicks medicine cabinet. But I couldn't recall all of the other funny poo poo so it was like watching a show I hadn't seen in a while.

In most every publication house's style guide you'll see that acronyms, such as Zip, Laser, Fifa, Nato, etc. only have the first letter capitalized (being proper nouns) since the abbreviation is pronounced as a word. You would only capitalize every letter with an initialism, where every letter is said such as USA (which is not pronounced Oh-sa). I believe it's Lomez. Counter-pedanted.

TMMadman posted:I love 'The Muffin Tops' episode. First of all you have Kramer giving a reality tour (The last thing this guy is qualified to give a tour of is reality), then you have George being a tourist (No offense, but this city would eat you alive George), then you have Jerry shaving his chest (it's an old wives tale. Is it? IS IT REALLY?) and finally you have the titular muffin tops and the problems disposing the stumps. "I can't believe you found an apartment so quickly. How much are you paying for this?" "Twenty three hundred!" "OUCH! A month? I guess it's alright for now but if you stay here for more than a couple months, you're a sucker." "Alright let's go" "Yeah let's air this place out for awhile - it smells like the last tenant had monkeys" *George sniffs his armpit* The woman who played George's girlfriend was gorgeous. Probably because of her eyes. Anybody know her name?

Sorry LividLiquid, but you're just a loser. No way around it. My all time favorite Seinfeld arch is still reverse-George. Cushman: Why don't you tell me about some of your previous job experience? George Costanza: Alrighty. My last job was in publishing. I got fired for having sex in my office with the cleaning woman. Cushman: Go on. George Costanza: All right. Before that, I was in real estate. I quit because the boss wouldn't let me use his private bathroom. That was it. Cushman: Do you talk to everybody like this? George Costanza: Of course. Cushman: My niece told me you were different. George Costanza: I am different, yeah. Edit: Seinfeld just came on. George: What is the deal with the guys in the pit? Jerry: They're musicians. That's not a joke! George: It's a funny observation! Summer of George! MokBa fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Jun 25, 2010 |

Elaine: Powerful. He is so powerful, he can lift a hundred pounds right up over his head. And um, what else. What else. Oh, right. Um, well, he's kind of, just kind of losing his hair.

But seriously, are you perhaps in the UK? I am just asking because in most American publications I have seen they don't capitalize common acronyms like laser, scuba, or radar because their acronyms have fallen to the wayside, which I suppose is also true of ZIP but I have seen ZIP go all three ways: all caps, single cap, no caps. Also, I believe most American publications use all caps for FIFA and NATO. As for a Seinfeld answer: stratdax posted:The woman who played George's girlfriend was gorgeous. Probably because of her eyes. Anybody know her name? Her name is Rena Sofer and her Seinfeld appearance was pretty early in her career. She seems to do a lot of bit work in various tv series and her longest stint was 25 episodes of Melrose Place, but she also had short stints in 24 and Heroes.
