From Gothamist:

Frances Bay, the 92-yearold actress that once fought over a marble rye with Jerry Seinfeld, has died at the age of 92. You would also recognize the character actress in her roles on Twin Peaks, Happy Gilmore, Grease, and hundreds of other productions.

Comment Of The Week

Amber LeMay - of the fabled House of LeMay - cracked me up yesterday with one of her comments. Her words written in response to THIS "Can" post...

... and referenced THIS "PostalPapi" post...

And here's what Amber had to say:

"Hmmm... if only he NEW a MAN who was a postal employee (the handsome man from the previous post?) who could take his USPS truck to Michigan where he could get twice as much back... just sayin'."

The absolute best comments are the ones which make me go "DAMN! Why didn't I think of that?!?" And as a huge Seinfeld fan, that's exactly the reaction I had after reading what Amber's hysterical words.

Rest In Peace, Uncle Leo

Posted last night, on The Daily What:

Actor Len Lesser, best known for his role as Uncle Leo on Seinfeld, passed away today in Burbank from cancer-related pneumonia. He was 88.

Dear Residents of Heaven: Whatever you do, PLEASE don't pass by Uncle Leo on the paved-with-gold streets without saying "Hello" or you won't hear the end of it. Unless, of course, Uncle Leo happens to be shoplifting in Heaven's Bookstore. Then you can pretend you didn't see him.

Inmate Goes Kosher For Festivus

A convicted drug dealer in Orange County, California disliked all the salami they were feeding him in prison - so he petitioned to receive kosher meals instead. The inmate cited his belief in "Festivus", the holiday made famous on Seinfeld, as the reason behind his kosher requirements.

Although Festivus is actually a real thing (it was made up by the father of one of Seinfeld's writers), keeping kosher is not a Festivus tradition. "Feats of Strength"? Yes. Matzoh Ball Soup? No.

The inmate received kosher Festivus meals for two months before the county got the order thrown out in court (AKA "The Airing of the Grievances").

American States By TV Shows

I like this one even better than American States By Movies. I was born and raised in The Office, and have spent the past 17 years wearing my Puffy Shirt in the great state of Seinfeld (which happens to be my favorite TV show of all time).

Which TV show represents YOUR state??

"Heeelllllloooooooooo ... NEWMAN

From Gothamist:

Life imitates Seinfeld, once again. In a Newman-esque operation, a Brooklyn postal worker was caught with 537 pieces of mail in the trunk of his car. The Dyker Heights Post Office employee, 26-year-old Peter Ramsdal, was pulled over while driving to the Catskills on April 21st. Police discovered he had a suspended registration, and, upon impounding his car they found the hoarded mail—which then led to contacting federal postal inspectors.

I bet they caught Newman Mr. Ramsdal in the Kenny Rogers Roasters parking lot...
