Kindly remain on topic in this thread.

They called it the show about nothing because they weren't focusing on anything. Most shows focused on a family or a couple. This one didn't really focus on Seinfeld. They all had equal parts in the show.

The pitch is clever though because when you say what's that show about nothing? Seinfeld...marketing for life

I liked the episode when George and jerry were pitching the idea for a pilot for a show about nothing and got into an argument as to what extent it would be about nothing, and George ended up storming out claiming he would not compromise his artistic integrity!

I am. Except the trees don't seem to think so.

I hear Maine is nice. Except for the snow. And camping with plumbing and toilets is not camping.

I don't eat lobster. Do you know what they eat?

My father refuses to eat lobster. He calls them Cucarachas del Mar.

I'll eat lobster otoh, but I don't freak out over it like some people. And I'll only eat the "lazy mans lobster" aka when it's prices higher and someone break it all open for you. I hate wrangling with them cracking em open and getting crap all over yourself. Any food dish that requires me to wear a bib, I'm out. Sorry. Call me pretentious but I honestly don't like the reward enough to deal with all that work and mess.

agreed-- all arthropods, land or sea, what's the point? disgusting. now oysters on the half shell or a bowl of mussels in a garlicky broth on the other hand.

Oysters on the half shell=delicious. As are a nice plate of mussels mariniere (sp?--I think that's the name of the dish you describe, no?). Completely agree there.

If you like clams, find a Portuguese restaurant and order Camarão a Bulhão Pato aka clams in a fresh cilantro, garlic (lots and lots of garlic), and white wine broth. When it's good I literally drink the broth after the clams are eaten. Or, if you have a crusty baguette, rip up into pieces and throw in and then fish out drenched in the broth. Fuggin' delicious.

what about the baked and breaded clams?

Iberia is great! But I gotta say I prefer Marisqueira Seabra, on Madison St one block south of Ferry. Better than Iberia IMHO
