Welcome back to the New York Magazine Competition. On alternate Mondays, we lay out a challenge and offer a sample responses. Enter in the comments section, or on Twitter with the hashtag we’ve provided, and the editors will select a winner. Criteria are highly subjective, but heavily retweeted and favorited posts will have an advantage. The prize is a year’s subscription to New York in print or a two-year subscription to the iPad edition (winner’s choice). Full rules are here.
COMPETITION NO. 29: ANCIENT SEINFELD. Please supply a line or scenario from a very early Seinfeld episode. For example:
“Seize him! Giddyap!”
“We Hebrew slaves, the rest of us,
seek to attend the Feast of Festivus.”
“No primordial soup for you!”
“Her face could launch a thousand ships. But her man-hands …”
Enter in the comments thread on nymag.com’s Daily Intelligencer, or on Twitter with the hashtag #ancientseinfeld, by September 3.
