One wonders if "War and Peace" would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it were published under its original name, "War---What Is It Good For?"

We really like your car, Mrs. LaRusso.
So last night I downloaded a Kindle single by Fred Stoller, who spent a few months in '94 writing for the show. (His best contribution was probably the Kenny Bania/suit/soup as a meal episode.) I can't really recommend it, because he really didn't have a long enough tenure for anything too insightful, but he does have some interesting stories about Larry David being Larry David. Also, he decided to put in some of his ideas for episodes that he never got around to actually pitching. I thought I'd post them here, including his all-caps style because it's just somehow funnier:

JERRY ACCIDENTALLY INSULTS MANUTE BOL

JERRY PRETENDS HE'S ON A SEQUESTERED JURY TO AVOID SOMEONE

JERRY GOES TO A KNICKS GAME AND AS A RESULT HE IS IN THE BACKGROUND OF A BASKETBALL CARD

JERRY'S PARTNER IN A CANOE TRIP BY ACCIDENT FILLS THEIR CANTEENS WITH YOO-HOO

Fred successfully pitched Kramer being confronted by a monkey at a zoo; his idea of Jerry insulting someone on a cruise ship and becoming the trip's pariah didn't pass muster.

I bought that the other day, too, when it popped up in the kindle twitter feed, and it was worth the $2, I guess, but nothing more.

I really want to like that guy, but that book was easily 50% pathetic and his new 'Gate Show' is completely forgettable.

I wonder if this was somehow morphed into him insulting his entire building by not wanting his picture in the lobby.

"JERRY ACCIDENTALLY INSULTS MANUTE BOL" is the most mind-bogglingly random phrase I've ever encountered.

^Yeah, that list isn't anything he pitched or fleshed out, it's from when he was writing down whatever random nonsense came to mind to see if anything stuck.

Half of them are hilarious, even if it's hard to imagine what storyline they would trigger. (Then again, one would probably say the same about half of the existing episodes' 5 word summaries.)

There really are some brilliant ideas mixed in there. Crowd-sourcing one sentence pitches would probably be a great way to write a sitcom these days, if it weren't for the nightmare of guild red tape it would inevitably cause.

This is a pretty awesome setup and reminds me of the (true) story about Larry David inadvertently clearing a guy for murder when he was visible in a crowd shot at a baseball game on Curb Your Enthusiasm which proved his alibi.

So many questions...

Is the fact that he is Jerry's partner an accident?

Is the whole canoe trip an accident?

Or is filling the canteens with Yoo-Hoo an accident?

Same one. He traded the busted radar detector for the helmet. Later, Crazy Joe Davola kicked him in the head for not inviting him to the party. He's after Jerry now.
