    It’s one of those things where it was awful (and I always believed she was telling the truth), but it was also absurd and you really couldn’t help laughing and then feeling awful about it immediately.

    And with Elaine it was just played so perfectly to her character. “Maybe a dingo ate your baby.” “Whaaat?”

    “I said: Maybe… A Dingo… Ate… Your Baby.” Followed by a self-satisfied nod to acknowledge her zinger. She so clearly thought she had just won a dance contest and everyone else in the room was just WTF.

    Sorry for the recap, but it was such a great Elaine moment. Beautiful, well educated, but sometimes just an unhinged sociopath.
