What an awful system. What if someone wants to make something bigger than a 1 gauge. They'd have to start going into negative numbers and that just gets silly.

They start piling up zeroes and its dumb as it looks. Four aught (0000 gauge) wire is like half an inch across and 1 gauge is 5/16ths. I guess someone didn't think they'd ever want wire bigger than that. I think paint brushes do it too.

Well that one is kind of true though. Most orchestras could play the standard repetoire in their sleep, and only need someone to say 'go.'

The bit is funny to me not as 'conductors are useless' but as 'all that arm waving up there ain't as important as he things it is.'

As I recall until the 19th century, the conductor and the first violinist were literally the same person. The movement of the bow was the object the rest of the orchestra used to keep time. There was no guy standing there at all.

I've never been able to wrap my brain around Mad About You being both reality and a TV show for the Seinfeld characters.

Kramer's apartment is some sort of nexus between reality and fiction. No wonder Jerry was so terrified to stay there and its dark power warped him into a Krameresque figure.

Although that actually makes more sense, because it explains why I've never seen it since or heard it referenced.

whats more crazy is I can picture it so clearly too and I know it never happened. I think my brain cobbled a memory together using the hot tub or something as a "level."

Swinging? What are you, out of your mind? Look at you, you're disgusting. You're bald, you're paunchy, all kinds of sounds are emanating from your body twenty-four hours a day. If there's a woman that can take your presence for more than ten consecutive seconds, you should hang on to her like grim death. Which is not far off, by the way.

This is the same actor whose character did this 14 episodes later:

or alternately: "There's the coward that left us to die!"

This is why I always sit in the exit row on planes. So that in an emergency, the Costanza inside me does not reveal itself.

It baffles me, CONSTANTLY BAFFLES ME, that Kramer appears in a Mad About You. Then George watches Mad About You.

Crossover feedback loop!


There better have not been a Mad About You poster in the background of the one where Kramer auditions to play himself on Jerry.

But anyways, I had my absolute MIND blow the other day watching an episode. Has anyone ever pointed out that the entire geometry of Jerry's apt. makes no sense at all? The main door, the kitchen is slanted backwards about 30 degrees, yet every exterior hallway shot, the hall is straight. The hallway would have to bend to go around the kitchen.

In my mind, there's a war still going on.

Inchon, Korea, 1950. I was the best cook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting
thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of prime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The use date was three weeks
past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right spices, cooked it long enough...

I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men
to the latrines that night! They were just boys.

Tell that to Bobby Colby. All that kid wanted to do was go home. Well he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to
sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home!








I feel reborn, I'm like a Phoenix rising from Arizona!

Yeah, '71. That was my first year on the job. Bad year for libraries. Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman telling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the length of his hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my bag. But you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public Library, fella.

Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time is over.

You have no idea how much I wish there were episodes I hadn't seen. I was thinking the other day, I wish I had some kind of automated way of keeping track of when I last watched a given episode, so I could always watch my least-recently-watched episode since I've seen them all like a million times.

There's some that are so infrequently viewed by me that I can pretend its new.
