    When I started this thread, it came from a dumb idea to create a true Seinfeld fan's trivia game.  The fun of the show is in its minutia, and the same is true of trivia.  I have played the Seinfeld "Scene It" trivia, the Seinfeld Trivial Pursuit, and even bought a fan-made game off Ebay YEARS ago.  As we've seen in this thread, there are some really good trivia players and askers.  Not one of those games holds a candle to the level of fun Seinfeldian trivia that's been posted here.

    So...

    While we're all trying to stay healthy, sane and happy during what has been the hardest year for most of us in our lifetimes, I would be interested in seeing if we can crowd-source/crowd-create a good Seinfeld trivia game.  It could be something as simple as trivia questions on a card, or something more complex.  At the end of it, I am looking for the best vehicle for great Seinfeld trivia.  This could be a project that gets finished or never happens at all, but it sure would be fun to try.  I've got a good idea for some of the guidelines for content, and maybe an idea or two for gameplay.  If there are some takers, we could get an email thread going separate from here to discuss and let the thread continue its sacred work of producing trivia questions.

    Anyone interested?

    My family has a good Seinfeld trivia game at my parent's house. Can't remember the name of it. We actually didn't care for the rules of the game, but the questions on the trivia cards were solid enough, so we just went with those questions and took score. We also had the Seinfeld Scene-It game that your referenced, but I thought that was kinda lame. 

    I don't know what I can add to the creation of a new game, but I definitely love this thread and how everyone here are, to quote "The Contest," "comfortable within the confines of the honor system."

    Ramada...I think in Chicago. 

    In honor of baseball (hopefully) starting soon, here’s some ultimate Yankee trivia. Which Yankee....

    1) ...had to hit two HRs to fulfill Kramer’s promise to a sick child?

    2) ...declared “Cotton is king!” in the newspaper following George’s suggestion to change the uniforms? 

    3)...manager authorized the cotton uniform switch?

    4)...did George have a keychain of that got buried in a pothole?

    5)...was to appear with Jerry on PBS, but was sidetracked when he and George followed a driver George thought gave them the finger?

    6)...”dunks like he hits?”

    7) ...did Frank complain was overpaid? (In the Finale, interrupting Steinbrenner’s testimony).

    8)..was taking tips from George with Bernie Williams. 

    9)....did Kramer punch at a fantasy camp?

    10) Just prior to punching that Yankee, Kramer was pitching and threw some chin music to which Yankee?

    Damn. I thought Milwaukee at first but switched to Chicago after thinking Milwaukee had already switched leagues by that point.

    It's Milwaukee and in 2015 I actually stayed at the Ramada in Milwaukee because I wanted a somewhat inexpensive hotel near the Amtrak station because one day we were taking the train down to Chicago for a Cubs game. I can see why Bernie Williams didn't like it.

    -who claims she doesn't wear a wig, despite george's threat he's going to pull it off?

    fill in the blank:
    "how you blew that ___ ___, I'll never know"
    This is tough. Haven't seen the episode in a while but I'll try.....

    -Don't know his name, but he looks like a blowfish at the bar
    -That kid's going to be a heck of a sailor some day
    -No clue
    -His red-haired co-worker. In a later episode (The Sniffing Accountant), Newman tries to touch her "material" at a mailbox and she yells for her husband.
    -McConnel deal? Some sort of deal.

    Also, why was Kramer not hurt when Davola kicked him the head?
