Hey Seinfeld fans,

Was Jerry REALLY an umbrella salesman before he was a Comic?

And if so, did he REALLY invent the twirl?

"Your twirling too fast, you will disorient the customers"

I love that line.

ALso, is Karl Fartman a real designer? Has anyone bought any Karl Fartman (?) furniture? A google turned up alot of Howard Stern links...

I love the episode where Kramer gets the screen on his door, and the kids start to harrass him. It is surreal.

What about the obvious connection of having Terri Hatcher on the show?

Was this pre-superman?

Also, Courtney Cox (*grudgingly* -arquette) can have 50% off her dry cleaning with me any day.

It is obvious they will never do a special, it would be nice, just a one off though, I do not think the series could ever start again. A one off as a promotional DVD seller, they should all wear makup and be aged as if they came out of prison (or right now they might not need much =)

I think they could find alot of new material in this dynamic.

Have fun.

The Double Dipper.

I read his book called Sein Language and I don't recall anything about selling things on the street. I might have read it before I saw that show so I didn't pay attention.

Oh, . . . for a fan with such A LOT of exhuberance I find it difficult to comment on the "alot". You see, my assigned job in this newsgroup like Elaine's doing "coats' and Jerry's doing "music' at theTim's party - me, I have to look after the "alots". There have not been A LOT of them recently so I felt vindicated but every so often A FEW sneek in. It puts me A BIT on edge. But I have such A LITTLE job it seems A SMALL price to pay for maintaining such a perfect newsgroup. :-) :-) :-)

Yes, Jerry did sell umbrella's in real life.

And you do get jiggy with it. In fact, you turn those mothers out! (BTW...I don't think it was Tim's party.....my job: picking nits.)

It was Joe Mayo's party. Although the name sounds made up.

You know, when this happens, I always picture Elaine asking, "Is that real fur?" and Jerry and the cop going, "Oh boy."

Maybe you should worry less about other people's English usage and more about your own. What does the umbrella possess? Is it a contraction? Then why is there an apostrophe there?

Grammar Nazis always get gotten in the end.

Assuming you're not pulling my chain, I think it was Farbman. I haven't done a google on that.

It is Farbman, at least it sounds like that to me. Fartman is a character that Howard Stern created and has nothing to do with Seinfeld.

Yes, it was pre-Superman. Courtney Cox' guest spot was pre-Friends.
