"What's the deal with Israelis who say 'ehhhh'? Who aaaaaaare these people?"

As of last night, I'm back. Didn't do as much philosophizing about my new life as I expected to. Barely left the house, in fact. The only thing I have to tell you, my loyal readers, is that...wow...Americans eat a lot of crap. Admittedly, it tastes delicious, but man oh man...I feel like my body is going through detox right now. Burritos, M&Ms...things in packaging... Tex-Mex sure is good but when I ordered vegetables on the side, I was hoping for something more than sliced iceberg lettuce and a tomato slice. They could have served the actual menu and it wouldn't have been any less healthy. That's all for now.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this reported anywhere else in the J-blogosphere (seriously, what DOESN'T have an entry in Wikipedia? "J-blogosphere"???), but Jerry Seinfeld is coming to Israel. He'll be here in November to promote his new animated movie "Bee Honey." My sources tell me that he does a lot to support Israel although he keeps a low profile about it. The big question of course is "will he perform?" Along with these visitors, it could be quite a fall.
"What's the deal with the Green Line? It's not even a line! They should call it the Green Squiggly Thing! Who aaaaaare these people?"

One thing we can be sure of is that he knows how to get here. Remember this episode?
JERRY: You know, I don't get it. Not allowed to ask a Chinese person where the
Chinese restaurant is! I mean, aren't we all getting a little too sensitive? I
mean, someone asks me which way's Israel, I don't fly off the handle.
I wonder if he'll perform on Shabbat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

So what might Jerry say about falafel, Israeli drivers, or the current government? Let's hear it in the comments below!

Benji - I forgot to tell you but I just walked by the Hunan Restaurant on 5th Avenue the other day - the one from the famous Seinfeld "Cart-Wright" episode.
And guess what? They had a big sign outside that said: "CLOSED FOR BUSINESS".

This is sad news for Seinfeld fans everywhere..I was devastated when I saw it.

Ahh...good old Jerry!

I just watched a preview of his movie (although this one is funnier) and I hope he does more than promote his film (as he still has a few good laughs left in him).

Let us all know whether he performs a comedic act, and bring your camera phone (or a real video camera) so we all can enjoy the fun.
