Couple of things:

First, I think we're pushing it a little with some of these. When George recounts the marine biologist story ("The sea was angry..."), that's really not a flashback, because he's just telling a story. Same with "...hamburger was eating me!" We may want to look at some of these again.

Second, I posted earlier, but no one responded...wasn't there a flashback when Jerry invented the umbrella swirl?

Okay, so what would we call it. A really short flashback? - a visual aid? -... I still want to include those kinds of scenes but technically, I agree they may not be a "flashback".

But he says it was a dream. And I was listing references to dreams and dreams that we see. - Thye could be separated.

Yes, I am still looking that one up, then I will add it.

Well, if it's just references to dreams, surely something can be added about Mr. Marbles ("things are creaking and crawling...") in The Chicken Roaster.

As for what to call it, it's not even a visual aid, because if I recall correctly (and I may not), we don't even see a second of it. We see him going to the whale (in the actual time) and then we see him at the diner telling the story.

Has anyone mentioned The Visa in which George has a "day"-mare that Jerry is going to be funnier than him with Cheryl Fong (Ping's cousin) and Jerry is telling some story about a guy who never heard of cordoroy. "TheNewsGuy(Mike)" wrote in message news:[email]...

Also in "The Voice", where Jerry is pondering the dilemma of choosing his girlfriend vs. doing the "Helllllllooooooo" navel voice character, he envisions live as is would be in both scenarios.

A "Flashforward":

"Jerry wonders about George telling Susan that he's got Leena's unlisted phone number off of an aids walk list" [The Sponge]

That's quite funny: making a list with a scene about a list containing an unlisted number. What about if the music background for this scene would have been some Liszt?
