For anyone wondering, Tom's Restaurant, immortalized as "Monk's," the diner where Jerry and the gang met and noshed in Seinfeld, has decided to keep its poster of Kramer. Tom's co-owner Pete Pappas told amNew York, "The picture we have on the wall is a character of a fictitious show." Plus, he's spoken to his customers about Michael Richards's racist rant, and the customers agreed with him about keeping the poster: "If I felt that it was offensive to a lot of my customers, I would take it down."
The poster hanging there is the painting of Kramer from the episode, The Letter. (Art collectors on the painting: "I see a parasite." "A sexually-depraved miscrient, who is seeking to gratify only his
most basic and immediate urges." "He is struggled, he is man-struggled. He lifts my spirit!" "He is a loathsome, offensive brute, yet I can't look away.")

he is Man's struggle
Great. Now I'm gonna have that Suzanne Vega ditty in my head all night!
Tom's is ok, but the real seinfeld diner is Westway on 9th Ave. That is where Jerry and Larry came up with the show.
"miscreant"
That line about man's struggle doesn't sound right. I always thought she said, "His struggle is man's struggle."
I've just been staying at home waiting for something to happen, but I don't care. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. I can't be bothered with anything recently.
I haven't gotten anything done recently. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I haven't been up to anything these days, but it's not important. Today was a total loss.
I just don't have anything to say. Not that it matters. Eh. I've just been staying at home doing nothing, but I don't care. That's how it is.
