do you ever yearn?

That's what's so weird. He's not really whispering, he's like huffing the words out like he's trying to see his breath in the winter.  Between that, the toothpick, and the lip curl he does after his voice trails off.  Every year when we watch in on this date, I know it's coming, and my wife and I both have to pause it to stop crying.  

It's amazing that guy never got any other acting work after that, you'd think Larry could put him on "Curb" or something.  Meantime, the main counter guy is Tracey Letts.  He's gone on to a dozen major acting roles and won a playwright Pulitzer.

It is really curious to me that Jack Black's roles as the "Jack Black" we know now didn't really start until after "The Strike" episode aired.  It's like he stole that actor's future and moved ahead with it.  Colin Malone apparently is his name in real life, and in a kick to the nuts...he's not even credited as "Charlie".....it's "Sleazy Guy."  I know they do that for unnamed characters, but he's obviously Charlie.  And he's a man.

He was a porn star, apparently.

Busted cold. 
 

There was just a Seinfeld trivia on Instagram live and it was pretty damn good. One of the harder ones was what was George’s high score on frogger?

He says it, but the actual number on the screen next to GLC is more accurate

"Oh no, you've got to get downtown for the big project.  It's all downtown.  Just like the song says.  We're all counting on you."  

So the guy plays the Petula Clark song for his project downtown just like in Seinfeld's episode "The Bottle Deposit." 

Anybody remember what happens at the end of that 2-part episode?  Yep, a medium-sized truck starts on fire.  I mean, do I even need to get into the somewhat related episode regarding frustration with the phone company?  

I know it's Christmas and all, but organized religion is a sham.  We're living in a simulation.  That at least has a sense of humor.

Incorrect.  That episode ends with Newman (Norman) running out of the farmer's house.  I believe you are thinking of Newman and the sewing machine on the highway, which is at the end of The Pothole.

No, the Pothole has an altogether different ending.  The Bottle Deposit that begins with George going "Downtown" for the big project, ends with Newman running over some discarded clubs and starting an explosive fire.  The Nashville Bomber (now using 3 names as evidence of his murderous attitude) stole this whole plot line.

Since we are clearly in an alternate timeline, I’ll accept this answer.
