The homeless man that Kramer gave the Chinese food to is played by Jon Gries, who went on to play Uncle Rico in the hugely popular "Napoleon Dynamite." (edit)

George: I got rejected by a bald woman. (edit) Elaine: Being a woman, I only really have access to the equipment, what, 30-45 minutes a week, and that's on a good week. How can I be expected to have the same expertise as people who own this equipment and have access to it 24 hours a day their entire lives? (edit) Elaine: I have hit the jackpot. The perfect man -- nothing but sex and shopping. (edit) Jerry: When someone is lying, is it true that their pants are actually on fire? (edit) Jerry: (to Elaine) And we discover yet another talent… posing as a girlfriend for homosexuals. (edit)

Jerry's girlfriend being named Officer Tierny is a nod at Lawrence Tierny who played Elaine's Dad in Season 2's "The Jacket". (edit) In the first scene in Jerry's kitchen, George takes a unopened box of Chinese food from the fridge as he asks Elaine "Aren't you a little bit worried that you might have missed the boat?" When the camera angle switches to show Elaine's reaction, the box in George's hand is suddenly open. (edit) Also as you can recall, Jerry talks about the only other person being able to lie about having cancer is George, and George also says that he's living about 20 when Gary says he's been living a lie. (edit) It's not that George can't lie, it's that he can't keep a secret. (edit) I think this is a major one.
In this episode, they're all making a big deal of how George has "the gift", how he can lie so well, to the point that Jerry asks him for advice on how to beat the lie detector. But in the previous episode (excluding Highlights of 100, of course), namely "The Scofflaw", George couldn't fool Jerry about knowing about Gary not having cancer... "the gift" comes and goes, doesn't it??? (edit)
