No, it was the one where he first invented the name Art Vandelay, Jerry and George went to her office building and they were trying to come up with lies as to what they were doing there and George came up with import/export and the name Art Vandelay, he actually thought of a different name originally, Burt Harbinson I think, but he blurted out Art Vandelay, architect.

More on Art Vandelay:thumbsu:
Art Vandelay (taken from the name prefixes van, de, and lé) first appears in the episode "The Stakeout", in which George and Jerry need an excuse to give to a woman as to why they are waiting in the lobby of the office building where she worked. Their excuse is that they were meeting Art Vandelay, an importer/exporter, for lunch. The name originates as Art Core, before an indecisive George morphs it first into Art Corevelay, and finally, Art Vandelay. In one instance ("The Boyfriend, Part 1"), George tells the unemployment office he is close to getting a job at "Vandelay Industries." The name is also used as a fake boyfriend of Elaine. Here, Art is also an importer/exporter, and used as a cover story for when George is going on a date with Marisa Tomei, claiming that George and Elaine are meeting to discuss a problem with her boyfriend so that Susan does not think that George is having an affair "The Cadillac, Part 1". George also uses the pseudonym when interviewing for a job with Elaine's boss in "The Red Dot". When asked which authors he reads the answer is "Art Vandelay" from New York. In "The Serenity Now", George calls up fake customers, one of which is "Mr. Vandelay", pretending to get computer orders. In "The Bizarro Jerry" George goes to an office and asks for Mr. Vandelay, as part of a setup to approach an attractive secretary. Finally, in "The Puerto Rican Day", George pretends to be Vandelay (along with Jerry as Varnson and Kramer as Pennypacker) to try to sneak into an open house to watch a Mets game that they had left because they were getting blown out. In the episode "The Finale", the name of the presiding judge is actually Arthur Vandelay, much to the amazement of George. George says he thinks it is "good luck" that that is the judge's name.
And some more of George's Pseudonyms..
At one point ("The Maid"), George wants to be known as T-Bone, but his co-workers at Kruger Industrial Smoothing nickname him Koko because of the way he had flailed his arms when demanding the nickname "T-Bone" back from a coworker. George deliberately hires a woman named Coco to work there, only to be nicknamed Gammy instead.
George reveals that if he were to be a porn star, his name would be Buck Naked. ("The Outing")
During a very long period of unemployment for George, Jerry calls George Biff, referring to the Biff Loman character in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. George is also compared to Biff Loman by the daughter of Lorene Sokol, the woman in charge of George's unemployment benefits.
George once assumes the identity of a man named O'Brien in order to take his limousine ("The Limo"), only to later discover this man was the leader of a white supremacist neo-nazi group and was on his way to make his first public appearance, at Madison Square Garden.
In "The Watch", a doorman mistakenly tells Mr. Dalrymple that a "George Bonanza" has arrived to see him.
In "The Chinese Restaurant", the host calls for a "Cartwright" to answer a call from George's girlfriend.
George's attempt to streak at Yankee Stadium while wearing a body suit earned him the name Body Suit Man. ("The Millennium")
In "The Library", George is reunited with his former old high school teacher who always called him "Canstanje" as in "can't stand ya".

Can I ask why? I cringe every time I sell the stuff, it is just so bad. And what do you make of Fosters' decision to reduce VB to 4.8% and the longnecks back to 750ml? I know of a bloke who has decided to boycott VB because of this.

Dunno, I like other beer as well but it's the stuff I've been drinking since I started drinking when I was a teenager and have the taste for it.
The beauty of subjective judgment is that your favorite might not be my favorite, and vice versa.
As for the scaling back of alcohol percentages and smaller king brown bottles - minor, very minor. Didn't even know they did it.
