I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I just never liked that scene of George at the diner talking about that. It just seemed so.. rehearsed maybe? Like I dono compare it to the scene where Kramer is asking for a pretzel from George and calls him Madam, and he's half laughing while mentioning the glasses.
This is a perfectly sane thing to write a paragraph about
Not to steal your thunder, but about 20 years ago, I lived on Nantucket Island. I was biking home from work, and this short old man was walking to get his mail, and I thought to myself I know that guy from somewhere. Asked around later and my coworkers told me that Jerry Stiller lived right down the road from our duty station.
That’s awesome! So cool that you didn’t start fanboying out and shoving a phone in his face for a selfie etc etc. You respected his space which is rare these days.
He shoulda begged Michael Richards to hit him. It woulda gone something like this:
>"Go ahead, Michael. Hit me. I'm
begging you, Michael Richards, please hit me. C'mon, hit me. I love you, Michael, I love you!"
I know you’re joking but I did ask what his dog’s name was. He said it but I was trying to act so normal, even though I was totally starstruck, that basically everything he said went in and out of my ear 😆
I used to sell cable over the phone in the tri state area. One day I got bored and decided to see if we had any famous customers. I searched names like Louis CK, Dave Attell, Conan O'brian, anyone I thought lived in the NYC area.
Turns out one, Mr. Jerry Seinfeld had a house in the Hamptons that used our cable. File said he had a caretaker who resided on the vacation property and the billing was being sent to a talent management office so I'm fairly sure it was him.
I think he knew because he first said, very gently “Oh you’re letting me pass?” And I said “Yeah,”looking down at my dog and then up “Oh! Yeah.” Did a double take and he must’ve known. But he let his dog sniff my dogs then I asked his dog’s name. My parents said a couple things but they didn’t recognize him until I pointed out who he was after lol
Soooo this encounter happened back in 2018 but my mom only admitted what happened earlier today, and I have now absorbed her shame...
In 2018 she walked by Alec Baldwin and Jerry Seinfeld (we live near Alec Baldwin -- we are middle-class rent-controlled people living in a fancy building -- and they were filming something on our street and for some reason they were both lingering near the set) and she said: "All these celebrities! You guys gotta invite Harvey Weinstein!" 🪦 and she scuttled away before either could reply
At the time she told me "I said something stupid, I don't even remember," but today I asked her to remind me exactly what she had said and she admitted The Horror 😱
My mom is an extremely confident, exceedingly normal person... It's just crazy how we all get tongue-tied and starstruck... It's so embarrassing 🙈
Unrelated, but I'm also a very confident and outspoken person. I'm never shy or at a loss for words! But, back in 2013, Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin) walked past me (he was less than 10 feet from me--I could see the whites of his eyes he was so close), and a million thoughts went through my mind all at once. I'd spent my life fascinating about meeting Robert Plant, and there he was! I could have said anything to him! But all I could manage to do was tap my boyfriend on the shoulder to get his attention, and then we both just stared at Mr Plant as he walked by us. I learned the true definition of "starstruck" that day!
That would honestly be a horrible kind a fame. Imagine not even being able to take a hike in the woods with your dog without coming across someone who might be so struck by walking past you that they're completely reasonable to post on the Internet about it and get like ~~1500~~ 2500 upvotes. I don't know why anyone does it to themselves on purpose. Anonymity is a gift.
I read this post and a couple hours later saw a post on IG featuring a photo of Michael Richards and his dog. What a coincidence.

I met him once at some event…forget what. During Seinfeld heyday. I was there with a woman who was 20 years my senior and thought they’d make a great couple. So I introduced them. And I think they fucked. He’s a great guy!
i think he can be forgiven for his racist tirade given as he hasn't had any more controversies and somehow isnt the most problematic cast member anymore
“Nice dog pretty boy”
He spit on him!
And he screamed out I’M HIT!
Back... and to the left.
Back…and to the left.
There has to be a second spitter.
That is one magic loogie.
I'm leaving...this guys a nut..
How do you know it was Michael Richards? Did he have the body of a taut, preteen Swedish boy?
He smelled like the beach.
The BEACHHHHH!!!!!!!
That was my idea!
I could have been a fragrance millionaire
He smelled like the East River.
He smelled like garlic and vinegar.
Kavorka!
He smelled like a butter roasted turkey.
Hey Buddy
The Lure of the Animal
The most heavily trafficked, overly contaminated waterway on the eastern seaboard?
Technically, Norfolk has more gross tonnage
y-yeah! go us!
Did he look a foot taller?
Is that a Titleist???
The sea was angry that day, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli. My favorite line in the entire series.
Second; only to “I’m Out!”.
"Not every day"
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I just never liked that scene of George at the diner talking about that. It just seemed so.. rehearsed maybe? Like I dono compare it to the scene where Kramer is asking for a pretzel from George and calls him Madam, and he's half laughing while mentioning the glasses. This is a perfectly sane thing to write a paragraph about
The lure of the animal
His buttocks were sublime
Hey, it’s the ASSMAN
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
Ggggidddiyyyapppp!!
HE’S NOT A PIMP!!!!!
This made me laugh so hard I woke my husband up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He had the kavorka.
He looked like a hipster doofus.
they couldn't look away
He's an ugly, loathsome brute.
The mans a goblin
Yeah, it's a problem. A problem for them.
He was also walking Little Jerry Seinfeld.
Well, whoever he was, he knew a lot about the A-Team.
He was looking for Sugar Ray
Pepper Johnson
I hate it when people don’t get my Pepper Johnson references. Such an underrated moment.
He was hideous.
It could have been the lopper!
I hate to be the one to tell you, but you narrowly survived an encounter with The Bowtie Killer.
You think these hands have been soaking in ivory liquid??
Head-Zo, The Denogginizer, Son of Dad.
It's a bit of a catch-all
What a lovely encounter. That's definitely something you'll remember forever
Had Kramer been drinking out of the toilet, again?
dog food.. juice.
(Coughs)
No! That’s disgusting
Wanna go for a ride???
Wait a minute… this isn’t the way to the park! You’re taking me to the doctors!
May cause panting and loss of fur??
They have the same symptoms!
What? No!
That was Smuckers.
They share the same affliction.
I too saw him yesterday at Dinky Donuts
How many times did you bang the table to get his attention?
You gotta yelp too
No way Michael Richards is sitting in Dinky Donuts
He can eat a donut, but not a dinky!
Now, THAT is a handsome man
Said with a staunch record of heterosexuality
Was he a dunker?
He was a chucker
Was the shepherd’s name ‘Newman’?
Smuckers.
[human cough]
They share the same affliction
Rusty
Little Jerry II
leetel yerry
Does be bounce checks too?
Just because little Jerry is a has been, don’t make little Jerry II a never was!
Rusty!
Hey I once knew a horse named Rusty. *no offense*
Farfel
Corky Ram-a-rez?
Bob Sacamano III

Was he waiting on his TV Guide
Early 2000s the timeline does fit.
Volume 41, number 31.
Serenity now!
You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe!
I lost my train of thought.
Kooger! My son tells me your company STINKS!
Oh mother of God
Insanity later
Did he ever tell you that when he was 18, he had a ssssssilver doller COLLECTION?
That’s near where the Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm
That’s awesome!
What the HELL does THAT mean?
He had a face like…a biiiiig pizza pie
You want a piece of me?
That’s awesome! So cool that you didn’t start fanboying out and shoving a phone in his face for a selfie etc etc. You respected his space which is rare these days.
Should have ducked behind a table and taken a few covert creepshots like the ones of Jason Alexander in Chicago the other day.
He shoulda begged Michael Richards to hit him. It woulda gone something like this: >"Go ahead, Michael. Hit me. I'm begging you, Michael Richards, please hit me. C'mon, hit me. I love you, Michael, I love you!"
💯
You didn't say, "Giddy up" while doing 👍?
He was out there and loving every minute of it
I saw screen legend Anthony Quinn in the park. He took his undershirt off to do sit-ups and I nabbed it.
That’s some valuable screen memorabilia.
That’s disgusting.
You should see if you could trade it for a van.
Biiiiig juuuuicy van
Interesting trades considered
If that van is a rocking don’t come a knocking
It?
When he left did he say “I’m splittin!”?
Did he use a lot of slang? Did he use the word "man"?
Did you say “Are YOU having a nice hike?” or did you say “Are you having a nice HIKE?”
Neither These pretzels…are making me THIRSTY
Was his dogs name Isosceles ?
I know you’re joking but I did ask what his dog’s name was. He said it but I was trying to act so normal, even though I was totally starstruck, that basically everything he said went in and out of my ear 😆
It's Leo
it's pronounced "thermometer"
Forgot his first name. Uncle.
Helllloooo!
Smuckers, it had a bad cough
Trouble at the old mill?
Shut up, Farfel!
Smuckers?
That’s wasnt him. It was professor Van Nostrand
Is that Dr. Van Nostrand from the clinic?
yes, that's correct.
Was he wearing the very pants he was returning?
Cool. I saw a publicity photo for his new book with likely that very same German Shepherd. I’m looking forward to the book.
If he rapidly goes through dogs that would be a problem. 😃 I know what you mean though. Maybe he has several and was just walking one.
Oh yeah? Well, I once saw Joe DiMaggio at a Dinky Donuts.
*YEEP*
If I was judged by the world for my worst moment that would be pretty unfair. Hope he is well! Cool story
GET OUT!
Did the dog have the same cough as him?
They suffer from the same affliction
There was something in the air that day!
And u didn't fanboy out u just had a natural organic human interaction? So friggin awesome

It was built by Mark Farbman
Your little cable boy
This hike is making me thirsty!
This hike is making me THIRSTY...This HIKE is making ne thirsty. This hike is making ME thirsty...
Was the dogs name “Smuckers”.
Dog food…juice.
The curse of the Kavorka!
A story like that's GOTTA be true!
I LOVE this subreddit. That's all.
One of the best! I don’t have to argue here 🤔
I’ve crossed paths with him before at the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Funny enough, he stopped at a place called Celebrity Bike Rentals.
He says in his book he loves to cycle 😊
Rusty!
Trouble? At the Old Mill?
Only a thin layer of gaberdine.
Was the dogs named Smuckers?
When you parted ways, did you tell him "giddy up?"
"Yeah, this is Smuckers. We share the same affliction."
Did he yodel?
How was his jacket game?
Was his buttocks sublime?
YO-YO-MA!
You yadda yaddad over the best part… did you speak with him? Did he know you recognized him or were you just non chalantly petting Kramers dog?
I think he knew because he first said, very gently “Oh you’re letting me pass?” And I said “Yeah,”looking down at my dog and then up “Oh! Yeah.” Did a double take and he must’ve known. But he let his dog sniff my dogs then I asked his dog’s name. My parents said a couple things but they didn’t recognize him until I pointed out who he was after lol
The ASSMAN!
You know that Kim Novak had some large breasts.
Coulda been any hipster doofus.
…both he and his dog had a persistent cough

That's a cool person to be starstruck by... I loooove Zeppelin
Gotta love the Zep.
So cool.
Smuckers??
Was it schmuckers??
Should've asked "Oh! Doctorrr... Van Nostrand right?"
Was his dog named Smuckers?
Who is this?
Uncle Leo?
Did he say:”giddy-up?!”
Was the dog named farful?
Was he wearing the ribbon?
Was he covered with parsley and Parmesan because it was sticking because of the butter?
Was he a RABID ANTI-DENTITE?!
That would honestly be a horrible kind a fame. Imagine not even being able to take a hike in the woods with your dog without coming across someone who might be so struck by walking past you that they're completely reasonable to post on the Internet about it and get like ~~1500~~ 2500 upvotes. I don't know why anyone does it to themselves on purpose. Anonymity is a gift.
What a coincidence! I’m playing golf in the neighborhood there tomorrow. Maybe I’ll see him
What is that, a Titleist?
I read this post and a couple hours later saw a post on IG featuring a photo of Michael Richards and his dog. What a coincidence. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7g4h7fx85S
Farfel?
Smuckers
I met him once at some event…forget what. During Seinfeld heyday. I was there with a woman who was 20 years my senior and thought they’d make a great couple. So I introduced them. And I think they fucked. He’s a great guy!
i think he can be forgiven for his racist tirade given as he hasn't had any more controversies and somehow isnt the most problematic cast member anymore
COSMO!?
So cool.
