Our Commentary

Nice OCB and CCB enclose this nice episode. Classic LD shenanigan writing about chicken personalities, dictators and double parking, racial harmony and the black and white cookie, and his obsession with fabrics. Beautiful stuff with Saddam Hussein, lesser babka, Jerry's vomiting possibly and error, possibly the dry heaves, sorrrrryyyy, and George's fear of Elaine. Overall nice ep. Adam - Good, solid episode, filled with many funny lines, and although it says royal bakery, the same lady works at Shnitzers and its the same store, just a thought.

Errors Corrected
In 3:4 The Dog (October 9, 1991), Elaine shouldn’t know how Jerry throws up, she’s only been there for 6 years and he last threw up 13 years ago from 5:9 The Masseuse (June 29, 1980) OR Elaine should know and call Jerry’s bluff because she did see him throw up in 1987. However, as we realized during the 3rd Siyum, it is possible that Elaine actually saw the dry heaves, which can be mistaken for throwing up, as Jerry explains to George in 5:9 The Masseuse. In case you were confused, as I was, here are the relevant episodes with their relevant information: 3:4 The Dog = Broadcast October 9, 1991, Elaine has been here since 1986, making it 6 years, '86-'91, so sometime within that span of years, both George and Elaine thought that they had seen Jerry throw up; 5:13 The Dinner Party = Broadcast February 3, 1994, Jerry mentions not throwing up since June 29th, 1980, and says 14 years down the drain; 5:9 The Masseuse = Jerry says he hasn't thrown up since June 29, 1980, which he calculates to be 13 years, and the time before that, June 29, 1972, where George was present and therefore did see an actual Jerry vomiting. George then tells Jerry that he saw him vomit in 1987, but Jerry corrects him, saying it was the dry heaves. This leaves us with a possible error or the possibility that Elaine had also seen Jerry doing the dry heaves and Jerry happens to throw up similarly to his dry heaving, thus making George think that Jerry vomited in 1987, when it was the dry heaves, b/c he actually did see him throw up in 1980.
