The article reads really well when you do it with Ray Liotta's Henry Hill narration.

@whataworkout:disqus It is indeed from season 1 and the episode called "The Stakeout."

I think you'll note that I mention that but two centimeters above your post.  Kudos on the similar memory.

Bert was one of the drafts George used when creating "Art Vandelay" the first time, when they're staking out the firm of Simon, Bennett, Robbins, Oppenheim & Taft (good trivia there) so they can "accidentally" bump into Vanessa (Jerry met her at a party he attended with Elaine, and he never got her name or number -

I'd forgotten he'd used that during Puerto Rican Day.

Thanks for correcting that - I noticed that too.

Oh yeah, and Kramer wakes up and sees the plug in her hand.  I'd forgotten.

Larry David's rule was only that it had to be funny.  I've got no problem enjoying the later seasons, but the tone of those first seven seasons to me is funniER than the more slapstick tone of the later seasons.  It's just a different style of comedy.

Thanks.  It is indeed obscure.  It doesn't need to be said that "joaquinstick" is genius.

Did he actually go into a coma?  I just thought it was a great shot of Michael Richards getting nailed with tennis balls one after the other in slow-mo.  More great physical comedy from him.

It's also great because it shows just how poor George is at responding with a good comeback, and how he'll say something that might sound good to him even if he doesn't fully understand it.  I love the panic attack he has once the "what's the difference?  You're their all-time best seller!" line comes right back at

Looks like another game for Milos!  As a golf pro, I really liked the Milos stuff.

See you there.  Some surprise guests at last night's show according to the setlist, hopefully that continues.

Richard takes the baby to Wisconsin, meets a half-face gal, and finally gets the domestic bliss he's always dreamed of.

A heaven without "The Seldom Seen Kid" and "Leaders of the Free World" doesn't sound like heaven to me.

And troof is troof.

He comes off much better in the original XFM shows, where he's clearly more laid-back and true-to-self.  On the podcasts, he knows he's got an audience of millions and he's clearly conscious of it, so he's a bit more forceful.

90-minute band meeting where Murray pitches movie ideas.  Bret and Jemaine point out at the expression of each idea that it has been done before, and they end up making a really low-tech version of Avatar thinking it was an original idea.  It's all shot on Bret's camera phone, and at the end Dave points out that it's
