Whoops, wrong Kramer! Funny thing is, I've been known professionally as "Kramer" (my real first name) since 1979. I'm Kramer Wetzel, I was given the name at birth, been called that all my life, and I'm not a character on TV... who was played by Michael Richards. He's a Virgo, or so I've heard -- I don't know, he never answered my E-mail.
And I deny the rumor that the character was modeled after me! But there's a funny story behind this common misconception--I had a neighbor, a guy who lived next door to me for several years, and he was college student (alas, the poor lad graduated, against my stern warnings). I use to wander into his apartment, completely unannounced, and avail myself of whatever was in the ice box, or talk to his girlfriends, or whatever. I did discover that frozen waffles were really good, straight out of the freezer. Apparently my behavior was just like some guy on TV with the same name.
