LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - A particularly ugly piece
of television history can be yours, provided you can
scrape together somewhere north of $10,000 by
Saturday night (Dec. 7).

That's the going price for the "puffy shirt" Jerry wore in a
1993 "Seinfeld" episode of the same name. The shirt
is one of 170 items from the late, great sitcom currently
being offered at Sothebys.com.

In the episode, Kramer's (Michael Richards) low-talking
fashion designer girlfriend asks Jerry a question. He
doesn't understand what she's saying but nods politely.
It turns out he's agreed to wear one of her designs -- a
ridiculous poofy pirate shirt -- on the "Today" show.

A number of other costumes -- mostly worn by Richards
as Kramer -- props, and scripts are also up for bid in the
auction. As of midday Friday, a script for the series
finale signed by the cast was going for $3,115, as was
one from "The Soup Nazi" episode. The teleplay for the
classic episode "The Contest" was available for a bid
above $2,605.

Other items in the auction include pictures from the
walls of Jerry's and George's (Jason Alexander)
apartments; a Christmas card showing Elaine (Julia
Louis-Dreyfus) -- but not her exposed breast -- from the
episode "The Pick" ; and a yearbook given to the cast
and crew at the end of the show's run.

LOL, I'm actually laughing out loud here.
Haven't you figured out that I'm filthy rich? How else could I devote so much time to these boards?
Okay, just woke up. I'm run of the mill middle-class.

I wonder who be the first pirate and start a new trend. Pretty soon you'll see everybody with a puffy shirt.
