Historic Month for Seinfeld Fans.Finally saw the rerun of the Puerto Rican Day episode. This was the second to last episode of the Seinfelds. It got a lot of criticism and NBC had decided to not show reruns of it. Don't know how it was handled in syndication, but all I know is that I never have seen it after it was first shown.
The hullabaloo was over Kramer who accidentally set the Puerto Rican flag on fire. It made for a humerous way for Kramer to get in trouble during the parade. I don't know why there were so many complaints. It was just an accident by Kramer (more carelessness with his cigar), and most importantly, it's fiction!
Well, anyway, it was nice to see the episode again. I really liked the part where George gets stalked by the laser pointer guy. It was classic George where he went to the movie while they were stuck in the parade just so he could use a funny line during the explosion of the Hindenburg. The laser pointer guy ruined it for him, and George was all upset at him. Through out the rest of the show, the laser kept popping up on George, and he kept trying to resolve the issue in his classic funny ways.
Can't live only on comedy....Great PBS documentary on the early history of Chicago. website
Pretty amazing seeing how things we take for granted like a sewer system and clean water were so difficult back in the old days. Found it funny how difficult it was for them to build a decent sewer system. In the 1850's it drained into Lake Michigan where they got their drinking water from. So they thought they could fix it by getting water farther offshore with underground pipes. Still didn't work when spring time floods pushed the sewer farther out. So they redirected the Chicago canal to drain south into the Illinois River rather than in Lake Michigan. That way the sewer would be washed downstream away from Lake Michigan. The classic case of throwing your problems over the fence...
Some of my interesting life views...
Often we spend money and time on things that really don't make sense. He are some examples (in my humble opinion):
Why do people think wrinkled clothing looks bad? It's just as clean as ironed and pressed clothing. Why not look at wrinkled clothes as a piece of artwork or a natural beauty. Here's my view of it: Wrinkled shirts are like snowflakes, no two are alike.
Why is it that tanned skin looks appealing to people but tanned teeth looks bad? People want white teeth and tanned skin. What's wrong with white skin and tanned teeth? Tanning is not good for the skin, and there's nothing unhealthy with mild stains on the teeth. Why bother to whitten your teeth and sun bathe? Just change what you consider appealing!
Some of my favorite quotes from the Simpsons that I remembered today:
Homer trying to explain to Marge his excuse for not going to church:
"But what if we picked the wrong religion? Every week we're just making God madder and madder"Last week on the Simpsons: Homer explaining to Lisa why he thought hiring a PI to learn about her likes and dislikes was a good idea:
"The childless drunks down at Moe's thought it was a good idea"
