Oooops, I lost the message I intended to reply to. Here is a brief synopsis:

This was all Mom and Pop stuff. Kramer takes ALL of Jerry's sneakers to be cleaned at the Mom & Pop store, since they need the business. Jerry has to wear cowboy boots since he does not have any sneakers left. George stops by with his new car and offers to take Jerry on a drive. They go, but Jerry finds that the actor spells his name different than the previous owner of the car. Jerry makes fun of George, "Sometimes I spell my name with a 'G' and even sometimes an 'I' hahahah!" George orders him out of the car, and he gets attacked. Kramer finds that the wiring in the Mom & Pop store is defective when he lies back to stop a nosebleed, and tells them to get an electrician, effectivly putting them out of business. Jerry finds out that his sneakers are being sold by Mom & Pop at a tagsale upstate or out on Long Island. They take a trip out there, and are riding back on the bus for the parody. Also, they take the pencil from the LeBaron in question, and take it to Tim Wattley's (sp) party to have a dentist check it out and see if it matches.

Can someone help me remember the episode where jerry and george go back and forth naming different types of pies; the timing if the 2 of them is priceless. there is another episode i can't remember where they are sitting in a car and they are reciting vowels or parts of a word - please help?!

The episode where Jerry and George go back and forth naming pies was The Bubble Boy. They don't want Kramer to accompany them to Susan's cabin in upstate NY so they tell him that there are no golf courses there but only stands that sell pies by the side of the road. Then they launch into their pie routine.

The episode you are thinking of is The Bubble Boy in which George and Jerry are trying to convice Kramer not to go to Susan's fathers log cabin. I think the premise was:

K: Do they have any golf courses? J: No that's pie country

Then the sparkling repartee goes on.

I believe that's from the episode where they go to Susan's father's cabin. Kramer comes in and they don't want him to know why they are going up there, or they don't want him to come?? As Kramer later tells Naomi, "They got pies."
