Here in Norway we will see "The gum" tonight, and "The cigar-store indian" in re-run tomorrow.

some of my favorite episodes:

the pen the contest The sigar-store indian The dinner party The fussili Jerry The Wink

And the "bad" ones

The note The stand-in The secret code (it vas just too much, no Nothing)

Are there some points in The soup Nazi thar we european does not catch?

I think it would been nice if a european started to discuss with George about how arrogant it is that the americans call it "world series" and "word leage" when it is only one nation who compeet.. (George because he would tell about the team he works for and their victory) The others would be a part of discussion.

And a challange. how many times have Norway and norwegian been referd to?

The one that bugs me is Miss Universe. How many contestants have you ever seen from other planets? Mark L.

How about the "World Series" baseball championship? Only see one country represented there.

Actually two nations compete. Toronto and Montreal, Canada have teams, and Toronto won the World Series a couple of years ago. But basically you're correct.

Don't think I've ever heard a reference to Norway or Norwegians on Seinfeld.

Pat Durkin, Woodbury, Minnesota, where many people are of Norwegian descent (also Swedish, Finnish)

GO JAYS - But the *World Series* was called that because it was sponsered by a New York Newspaper called I believe (others will correct me) The NEW YORK World or something like that.

Loyd I am sure the Jays would love to play a Norwegian Baseball team especially this year. Some of Jerry's girl friends may have been Nowegion.

Hey - I have a new thread... Is Elaine Norwegion?

Those that go for the world league. Is it just a word with double meaning when the winner of world series call themselves world champions?

Maybee the have a baseball team at the american embassy in Oslo. b t w was it number 4 USA turned out to end in the olympic baseball games ;-)

No one in Norway thinks she is jewish, and i can not see where someone got that idea.

Loyd, You, I, and the rest of the world know we have to put up with the USA's self glorifying propoganda. The pricks at NBC did not recognize Donavan Bailey as the *fastest man in the world* because he was not wearing the stars and stripes. Funny, all their 100 metre winners were dubbed with this title. But we love yu's anyway. ==============================================================================================

Yeh, but they didn't send their best...  Now if, Cecil, Roger, Pat,  and
the *real* players could play the rest of the world wouldn't it be
different?  - Didn't Michael, and the boys prove that in Basketball.

Loyd, I spoke to everyone in Canada and we think she really is.

OK, but even with two nations, it still ain't all the world, as it ain't the whole universe that compeet in miss universe.

1. at the New York marathon-brunch episodes Jerry said that it was one man from Kenya, one women from Norway (Grete Waitz) and 30 000 loosers.

2 When Elaine had the writers-block she read one exampels of writing. it was a story and in the end it tutn out the someone did not freeze bacause he wore a norwegian fisherman coat. (or something)

Kramer once told that he escaped with a sedish steamer, and said in "The Hot Tub) that it was like Sweden with warm wather and cold air. I think he ment Iceland.
