They don't have a decent piece of fruit at the supermarket. The apples are mealy, the oranges are dry...I don't know what's going on with the papayas!

Oh my God I'm watching a new episode of Seinfeld! It opens with Elaine dating a guy called Joel Rifkin which is apparently also the name of a serial killer.

I always loved finding an episode I had never seen before or had seen only once or twice before. It felt so fresh.

Unfortunately, now I've seen pretty much every episode in the series multiple times, so I don't get that feeling anymore. But I still love 'em all :3:

Please excuse the following quote, and top of the morning..... TO YOU!

I beg your pardon!?! Cinnamon takes a back seat to no babka! People love cinnamon! It should be on tables in restaurants along with salt and pepper. Anytime anyone says, "Oh This is so good. What's in it?" The answer invariably comes back.... cinnamon! Cinnamon! Again and again!

Lesser babka? I think not!

I love this quote because I am very pro-cinnamon.

I'm pro chocolate. So Jerry was totally wrong and got the lesser Babka (I still don't know what a Babka is)

I love the way Elaine delivers that line. And the best part is that George doesn't get made at Elaine for ruining Goerge's lie. He gets mad at the ROSSES for lying to HIM. I love George so much.

Wikipedia to the rescue!

My family's Polish, so (and I didn't know there was a difference until reading this just now, since I don't remember seeing the actual babka in the episode) while I've never really had a chocolate or cinnamon babka, we used to bake these absolutely delicious lemon babkas. I haven't had one in a long time, but it was so light, fluffy, sweet, and lemony.

It really did, both in celebrating mundane words, and stuff like:

"And you believe this course of action will have a two-pronged effect. Firstly, the very mention of the idea will cause Sandy to recoil in disgust, whereupon she will insist that I remove myself from the premises. At this point, it is inevitable that she will seek out the roommate to apprise her of this abhorrent turn of events. The roommate will then offer her friend the requisite sympathy even as part of her cannot help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion in the unusual request."

...that's from a sitcom.

That is my favourite Seinfeld bit, George's plan for Jerry was just so brilliant and well thought out... Only to have it backfire as usual.
IIRC In another episode George tries it himself and it fails again, but I haven't seen that episode in years.

...The switch!

Also, I think I would stare at a rotating tire display too.
How the hell do those work anyway?

Don't you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to grow a mustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new bedspread and new curtains. I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting. I'd have to get new friends. I'd have to get orgy friends...Nah, I'm not ready for it.

You ask me to have lunch, tell me you slept with Elaine, and then say you're not in the mood for details. Now you listen to me. I want details and I want them right now. I don't have a job, I have no place to go. You're not in the mood? Well you get in the mood!
