Anybody notice the gift Lanie got Jerry for his birthday? "The Collected Works of Bette Midler."

... and it was in a CD Longbox!

Some episodes are showing there age, but you have to look hard.

You can still get CD longboxes. Collected works of any musical act all come like that.

You mean longboxes where they actually put something in the other end of the box? Like a 2nd jewel box or short book of liner notes? Well, those don't really count, do they? You think? Naa.

The old longboxes had nothing but air on the other side of the box. Those are the true longboxes.

Yes, but why do they call it Ovaltine? The glass is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.
