Fictional Seinfeld Frogger score beaten
Real man raises laughably high bar.
The astronomically high Frogger score dreamt up for an April 1998 episode of US sitcom Seinfeld has been beaten in real-life by a man called Pat Layaffe. (Yes kids, it's the January news rush.)
The 'Costanza Score' of 860,630 - laughed at for being almost double anything recorded on a Frogger arcade machine - was topped on New Year's Day by a winning total of 896,980 (spotted by Examiner).
Layaffe raised the bar on an original Frogger arcade machine.

Sienfeld is the best thing ever.

As for the score, yes well done, but do you have a Billy Mitchell style nemesis? Can a doc be made? Will they take severe liberties with the truth as they did in the King of Kong? I absolutely loved this film, but when I read about the amount of editting and artisitic licence used it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Something tells me that even if he didn't, he probably won't ever be the same again.
Hell, I think I'd either end up beyond Zen, or frothing on the control panel (more likely).

Definitely not.
I'm loving it, although I feel bitter-sweet about it. It's so great to have them back together, but at the same time, it hurts because it's only for this little bit, and one can only dream of having a lot more Seinfeld.
