    Chapters 11 and 12 Contributed by Stoljar-Gold Ziegler Gold Source: Chapter Eleven 1. The Lord said to Jerry, "I will bring one more plague upon Pharaoh and upon Manhattan; afterwards Newman will drive you out of here. He’s an idiot altogether.” 1. Please, speak into the ears of the people, and let them “borrow”, each man from his friend and each woman from her friend, silver vessels and golden vessels. That’s right. Gold, Jerry! Gold!” 1. So the Lord gave the people favor in the Manhattanites’ eyes; also Jerry was highly esteemed in the land of Manhattan – How could anyone not like him? 1. Jerry said, "So said the Lord, Art Vandelay, ‘At the dividing point of the night, I will go out into midtown Manhattan, and every firstborn Bubble Boy in the land of Manhattan will die, from the firstborn Bubble Boy of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne to the firstborn Bubble Boy of the slave woman who is behind the millstones, and every firstborn Bubble animal. 1. And there will be a great cry throughout the entire land, such as there never has been and such as there shall never be again. They’ll cry, and then they’ll cry again. 1. But to all the children of Israel, not one dog will whet its tongue against either man or beast, in order that you shall know that the Lord will separate between the Manhattanites and between Israel”. What does dog licking have to do with the slaying of first Bubble boys? That’s what I’d like to know about it.

Despite her commitment to "no hugging, no learning", she gains some profound insights into mass culture, adult education, friendship and postmodernity as a result. Parental guidance suggested. Prologue: The Convergence This paper has grown out of a critical incident in my own learning biography, where a convergence of two cultural events brought together several discrete elements of my personal and professional identity and led me to reflect on aspects of relationships between the mass media and adult education.

This much-reviled, often-used excuse seems like the oldest line in the book, but, when used of romance, it only goes back to the 1980s. Of course, what popularized it the most was George Costanza getting dumped in 1993 on Seinfeld : [SCENE: Monk's] Gwen: I'm sorry, George. George: I don't understand. Things were going so great. What happened? Something must have happened. Gwen: It's not you, it's me. George: You're giving me the "it's not you, it's me" routine? I invented "it's not you, it's me!"

Trunfio, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Health SUNY Cortland 208-A Moffett Center Cortland, NY 13045 [email protected] Telephone: 607-753-2976 ABSTRACT A quantitative-qualitative historical content analysis of selected Seinfeld television comedy episodes was conducted for this study. Episodes were analyzed for the presence of health-related messages pertaining to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‟s health priority areas, which include the most harmful risk behaviors affecting today‟s youth. A random selection of 88 of 176 Seinfeld episodes aired from July 5, 1989 until its finale on May 14, 1998, resulted in 787 health-related messages for the study. Over the course of nine seasons, more health-related messages were found in later years.
