G'day everyone,

I was just wondering if anybody noticed in "The Dinner Party" that the black and white cookie that Jerry is holding in the bakery keeps switching positions. During this scene where he is eating it, sometimes the black is on his left and sometimes it is on his right!!!

Also, remember how Jerry's vomit streak is ended in this episode? Weren't George and Elaine discussing how when Jerry throws up it's really funny in "The Dog"? I can understand that Goerge has seen Jerry throw up as they went to high school together, but hasnt Elaine only known him about 5 or so years? Jsut wondering if anyone else noticed these indiscrestions. Correct me if I am wrong!!!?

How long HAVE Jerry and Elaine known one another???

I haven't seen that episode for a while but I do remember the cookie turning. I couldn't decide, 1) if it slipped past the editor; 2) if they felt it wasn't important enough to justify reshooting the scene; or 3) if it was done intentionally to see how many people would notice it. My guess is the second explanation.

They were once lovers, so she's probably seen everything. Besides, if you can go 5 years at a stretch without throwing up, you just don't go to Jack-in-the-Box enough.

In our Reality, since the show started.

G'night
