Kramer reveals that he has been on strike from his job at H&H Bagels for the past 12 years, and briefly returns to work there. She gives him her standard fake number (which spells out "no Elaine - the extra e is for ‘ech'"), then has to track him down when she realizes she wrote the number on her Subway sandwich punchcard. Elaine is approached at Whatley's Hannukah party by a dorky suitor in a denim vest, played by the Kids In the Hall's Kevin McDonald. Jerry discovers that Gwen, woman he's dating, is "a two-face" - she looks attractive in certain situations and ghastly in others. Meanwhile: Inspired by his annoyance at getting a similar "gift" from Tim Whatley, George makes up a fake charity called "The Human Fund," in lieu of giving out gifts to his coworkers at Kruger Industrial Smoothing. The traditional celebration involves the "airing of grievances" and "feats of strength," as well as an aluminum pole in place of a tree. Jerry tells Kramer and Elaine about Festivus, the alternative holiday invented by Frank Costanza to avoid the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas. Kramer decides to write a living will and has trouble choosing whether to make Jerry or Elaine the executor. He later convinces her to bring him vodka, cigarettes and fireworks, and she arrives to discover that Vincent is a 15 year-old boy. Elaine develops a crush on a video store employee named Vincent, based on his artsy and romantic "staff picks." Vincent feels betrayed after Kramer convinces Elaine to try a "Gene pick" - Weekend at Bernie's II - and sends her the play button from his VCR in the mail. WASHINGTON Thirty years to the day after the Seinfeld pilot The Seinfeld Chronicles debuted on NBC on July 5, 1989, the situation comedy remains the Master of its Domain, recently. Jerry is dismayed to discover that Milos, the tennis pro who convinced him to buy an expensive racket, actually sucks at the sport. One of George's Yankees coworkers, Reilly, mocks him for eating all the shrimp at a meeting by remarking, "Hey George, the ocean called they're running out of shrimp." George doesn't come up with a retort until later - "Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you" - and obsesses about finding a way to deliver it after Reilly takes a job in Akron.

George is irritated by the constant PDA and baby-talk between Jerry and his new girlfriend, Sheila, who call each other "Schmoopie." She later discovers he left his prized recipes in one of the drawers and threatens to put him out of business. When the armoire Elaine bought from a sidewalk vendor is stolen by "street toughs" before she can get it up to her apartment, Kramer procures her an armoire from the Soup Nazi himself. The gang patronizes a wildly popular new soup stand, where the temperamental owner's strict procedure for ordering has earned him the nickname "Soup Nazi" - irritate him and he yells, "No soup for you!" Elaine flouts the rules, banging on the counter and telling the Soup Nazi that he looks like Al Pacino in Scent Of A Woman, and he bans her from the store for one year.
