One of few people who I find more annoying than Barry Bonds is... Jerry Seinfeld. While I love the show Seinfeld, I think that Seinfeld the person in a pompous ass. Case in point:
During the US Open last night, one of the announcers from the USA network interviewed Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, mainly because Curb Your Enthusiam's sixth season begins this Sunday. (The YES network showed Larry David, discussed Curbed your Enrthusiam, and David's appearance on Centerstage-- and YES Network show-- during the Yankkes game on Tuesday Night...And yes, this means I watched the Yankeed to know this.)
During the Interview, Seinfeld and David were not happy to be interviewed while Venus Williams as playing. While I understand that it is not a good idea to interview someone while they are watching a match, there still seems little reason for Seinfeld's comments. As the interviewer discussed the new season of Curb Your Ethusiam and the Seinfeld episode where Kramer is a ball boy, the interviewees seemed less than interested. When the interviewee asked Seinfeld and David what they had been laughing over during the match, Seinfeld replied they were "private jokes." When the interviewee asked Seinfeld what was the funniest thing he has seen at a tennis match, his reply was "Not You." The interview promptly ended after this comment.
Overall, it as bad decorum to interview during a match; worse, Jerry Seinfeld was a jackass during the interview.
To Jerry: people, wrongly, think you are interesting becuase you are funny; people find you annoying because you're Jerry.

Solon,
Harrogate misses you, Mrs. Solon, and the little Outlaw. He sends his love to all--oh, and don't forget the kitties!
Re Barry, as the gal said in Clueless: "That was wayyyy harsh."
Harrogate wishes thou wert persuadable, but he sees that it is one of them there unbridgeable chasms.
Harrogate-
You, Mrs. Harrogate, and lil' Harrogate can visit any time you'd like just to see how people can be as pompous as possible.
And it you think this criticism is harsh, watch the clip if you can find it.
Surrounded by the pompous, eh? Harrogate expresses sympathy and the hope that as ye get more settled in, alternative personae shall present themselves.
As for the "way harsh" line, Harrogate was referring not to your treatment of Jerry, but rather the line about Bonds.
:-P
