Here’s to feeling good, all the time, originally uploaded by Peru Tha Damaja.

I try pretty hard to be fairly clueless about pop culture. This earns me the mystique of being insightful (unless you know me well, and then I just seem clueless) but it also means that years after some entity has had its popularity heyday, I can “discover” it and then the entire creative body of work is waiting for me to catch up on. This applies to good music, good authors, and most recently, Seinfeld.

My friend Nick frequently uses the toast “Here’s to feeling good, all the time.” Last night I finally saw the Seinfeld episode it came from and it’s got to be one of the funniest minutes ever filmed. It’s better in context, but it’s still incredibly, incredibly funny. Click the picture for the whole clip.
