I watched "The Fusilli Jerry" last night; one of my favorites. Then I got thinking "a bit outside the episode" concerning Kramer's strange hobby...
1. In "The Fusilli Jerry," we're introduced to Kramer's "talent" for making small statues of his friends out of pasta. His trick is to use a type of pasta which best reflects the personality of his subject. Kramer uses fusilli for Jerry, because Jerry's "silly." Kramer then tells George he's working on one of him, but instead he's using ravioli. Why would Kramer choose ravioli for George?
2. Which has a better ring to it - Ravioli George or Ravioli Costanza? (I like RG.)
3. In "The Understudy," Kramer presents Bette Midler with one of his creations - "Macaroni Midler." Why macaroni for Midler?
4. If Kramer were to make a sculpture of Elaine, what type of pasta would he use?
5. There are several pasta figures on the shelf behind Kramer's couch in "The Pool Guy." Which ones are these? Ravioli George? Rigatoni Newman? Fettuccini Lomez?
(I know, I've wasted way too much time thinking about this. I am aware! I am aware!)
