Jerry: So, the free love buffet is over?
George: I got greedy. Flew too close to the sun on wings of pastrami.
Jerry: Yeah, that’s what you did…(via The Blood)
Actor Len Lesser Dead at 88
Len Lesser, best known as Uncle Leo from Seinfeld, has died. I’d like to see Fox or TBS run a string of Uncle Leo episodes as a subtle but solemn gesture in his honor. While it was customary for Leo to exclaim “Hello!” today we quietly say, “Goodbye.”
Actor Jerry Stiller, who portrayed George Costanza’s father Frank on Seinfeld, visited a house in Astoria, Queens that stood in for the exterior of the Costanza home during the show’s run.
This photo of Stiller with owners Jack and Bessie Lopierro looks exactly like I’d think it would. :-)

seinfeld reunion! (kinda)
Larry David discusses the upcoming season of Curb, which will feature all four major cast members. Speaking of the Sein, the final round of ‘C’ The Well’s Seinfeld Survey is up and running. You chose your favorite minor characters, and now it’s time to rank them…spread the good word and don’t forget to check back for the final results!
New Minutes
Official meeting of The Well. July 12th, 2009. 7:39 PM. Winds in from the west at 6 mph…
Old Business - Birthday plans confirmed for August 7th. Blow some money at Sands and after party at Baum’s. All are invited.
New Business - Won 5 bucks off of Tooth betting on the plot of an Entourage episode. Ratcliffe wants ice cream.
To do list:
- Tooth - #9
- Rent Lamborghinis and drive around the Jersey Shore with pinky rings and cigars. Ratcliffe was big on this. They only cost like two grand for a day. So far we have $11.48. Donations are welcomed. I think I’d look better in a classic Chevy.
- Hire an artist to paint a mural of Tooth’s face on the wall in his living room
- Get an RV and go on some kind of road trip. I’m not sure how comfortable I feel driving it, so I have a different responsibility…
Last order of business: Set up a poll to determine the Top 10 Best Seinfeld Minor Characters. Basically this includes anyone who is not Jerry, George, Kramer or Elaine, and who is funny. For now just choose 10 characters and we’ll rank them after the list is narrowed down. Please spread it to any Seinfeld fans and encourage them to check back at www.cthewell.com for results!
