I suspect this comes from the fact that one of their biggest (literally and
figuratively) spokespeople is Rush Limbaugh.  If you listen to his radio
show, you'll here countless ads for Snapple most with Rush doing the
testimonial.  I'm pretty sure Rush is not connected to the company in any
way other than being a satisfied customer who gladly accepts their
sponsorship.  He started talking about it on the air even before they became
an official sponsor of his.

I think Howard Stern also talks it up quite a bit though I don't listen to
his show too often.  He's hardly the PC-ish type.

At any rate, you're can probably assume that the political affiliations of
the company's executives are nowhere near as important to them as the sale
of their product.

You're talking about Michael Richards' (gwpK) character "Battle Boy", which
was one of the regular skits on "Fridays" in the early 80's.  The character
probably predates even then, but "Fridays" made Richards known to a wider
audience.

This is a first time posting, so no flames please.  

Although I am the psychologist in the family, my wife wants to know if
anyone thinks there was a relationship between the Jeopardy answers 
Kramer was yelling out and George's conversation on the phone when Susan
told him to take a hike.  She *thinks* that the answers were somehow

Howard still does, and for good reason (Snapple is actually quite good- esp.
the Raspberry Iced Tea!).  But Snapple isn't just a "NY thing" anymore.  I've 
found it sold in stores and quite popular in other areas along the east coast 
that aren't near NY.  I'm not sure if Snapple is available in other regions 
of the country though.

  So let me get this straight, you did'nt like the show because of some events
that were'nt followed up on?  How would that make the show funnier?  I
personally found it quite funny.  I liked the pictures of Elaine on the wall
especially when she saw the shower one.  Jerry doing the ovature from the old
Warner Bros. cartoons was pretty good too.
  I don't know, is it just me?  I did'nt think it was bad at all.  Oh and
someone was questioning if that was George doing the Nissan Altima commercials?
That's got to be him, no doubt about it in my mind.

I saw the guy who plays Kramer (gwpK), oh it must have been just over a year 
ago, on whatever latenight talkshow followed Letterman at the time.  The 
host mentioned seeing him do standup at one of the local clubs, and couldn't 
beleive what he did there.  Apparently, gwpK just got on stage carrying a 
bag  and spilled the contents on to the stage.  It turns out the contents 
were plastics tuy soldiers, you know the ones with the base that never 
balances then enought to stand them up, and just played with them for the 
fifteen minutes.  The host the proceded to bring out a bunch of GIJOES and 
various other toy soldiers and let gwpK go at it.  I have to say, it was 
quite funny.  Of course I hope you all know that gwpK was in UHF as Stanley 
Kowalsky the janitor.

Seinfeld experts, does anyone remember this episode where George
and Jerry are in the coffee shop (naturally) and George says
something like:

I can't think of a situation in which I will ever have an opportunity
to have sex again.

Does anyone know which episode this was? and what the exact wording was?

When he said it I just died, because the delivery was so believable!

I tried posting a reply earlier this week, but I think the connection
was down, and we're two days behind on everything now.  So here goes
again.

It seems all the people who had glitches were in the northeast part
of the country.  Here on the west coast, we had no such glitches
(though I have noticed video glitches during Leno's monologues).
The dirty talk in the cafe was definitely unintelligible.  The
conversation about Carson went something like this (note that I'm
paraphrasing, not trying to repeat verbatim):

father - You know those cigars were made especially for Castro?
George - I did not know that.  Wild.  Crazy.
pause.
daughter - He's doing Carson, Daddy.
father - I never did like his humor.
George - monologue about laughing.

I think that his Chinese fine; it may just be Cantonese. My wife understood 
him  fluently and she is from Hong Kong.  In fact, they used Cantonese at the 
Chinese Restaurant.  Also, George asked for Chung Fan which is a common 
Cantonese dish (Rice Noodles) served at Dim Sum which is only done in 
the tea houses of Hong Kong.  Wayne's World also used Cantonese. 

With the exception of the Canton province, the offical Chinese dialect
is Mandarin.  In the bald episode, it did not say where they were calling 
in China although many Chinese speak several dialects like Cantonese,
Shanghainese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, etc... Therefore, if he were speaking
Cantonese fluently, there would be no problem.

I am still learning my Cantonese, slowly.

Giant, sorry but you were mistaken.

In anycase, last night's episode was one of the best. To all those people
who think Elaine is great.....you're right, that stuff about the diaphragm
flying was just great. Also the part about the three get out of  
relationships free cards was great.

I assumed that George had told Kramer he got $175 because they woul have
agreed to split the proceeds.  So George ripped off Kramer.
