SEINFELD BLOG

With baseball's free-agency in full swing, I'm reminded of a monologue Seinfeld did, where he said of professional sports, "we're rooting for laundry." I think that was one of his more profound monologues. Help me out here, what episode was this?

Don't slash your wrists, you're not being ignored. I just don't know the answer. I think everyone who doesn't know the answer should post here saying they don't know the answer. Not to sabotage the thread, but to let Scotty know he's not being ignored.

nothing comes to mind right now

Allright, maybe I just dreamed it.

don't know. he did a laundry bit about socks dancing in the washing machine. that's all i can remember.

I have a vague recollection of a show that ran in the mid 90's with two large talking, British bananas called "Bananas in Pajamas", but nobody I've talked to remembers that either. I feel like Bob Newhart.

no, i remember that. they were two giant bananas who could walk and dance. i don't remember if they could talk, though. but the main point is... i forget.

AHA! Take a look at this guy's column, 2nd paragraph from the bottom.

Sounds like Scotty's been hangin' out with Grace Slick again.

So, let me see if Jimmy's got this straight.... You post some far-out claim, that you think nobody will know of, while already having a website URL, that will prove you're not crazy, all ready.... then when everyone comes on here and doesn't know what you're talking about... you post the website address as a cry out for attention? And you don't use your name so you can deny being the one who posted the website?

Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players
are always changing, the team can move to another city, you're actually rooting
for the clothes when you get right down to it. You know what I mean, you are
standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from
another city. Fans will be so in love with a player but if he goes to another
team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt, they
*hate* him now. Boo! different shirt!! Boo.

the label maker, fellas, the label maker.

Well, label me thankful.

Ah yes, Jimmy gets the "rooting for laundry" joke now...

Well, Jimmy lives in Detroit, and idiot's here go f-ing nuts whenever the Wing-Dings win... They're not only all non-Detroiters, they're all from f-ing RUSSIA! What a total watse of life getting bent out of shape over that BS! (one of the dudes came up on stage and sang with my band once... looked like he'd been run over by a semi)

I'm gonna miss Edgar Renteria. We had some good times together.

What a surprise, baseball right? well, those bastards took our Expos away, so they can have their precious baseball. i'll stick to hockey, where our lockouts are for real. not like those silly baseball strikes that last a couple of hours.

those silly baseball strikes cost our expos a world series in 94

Thanks, some guy, i remeber that now.

Can't Stand Ya is Sum Yung Gai?

No Jimmy, "some guy" responded a few posts up.
