    Once, at the airport when he was coming out of the bathroom, I said, "Hi Larry" . I said it like I knew him. He turned around and looked at me and grunted. It made my day.

    Oh wow!

I am totally touched. He even checked out places for himself in New York in case he was going to end up homeless. But his destiny/God/Creator/ made sure he was forced to use his talents. I'm not envious of his success or money, I just wish I had someone guiding me in this life to discover and use my God given talents. I suppose we're all here for different purposes.

    I understand Larry David. Then I met a few Asperger people and understood them too. Then, I was diagnosed with Asperger's in my later 30s. It answered a lot of questions. It explained a lot.
    I, too, have a grammar obsession and I hate the misuse of the word "you." You is the second person, direct sense. It-the word "you"-is not a substitute for "me," "I," "us," "we" and so on. The word "you" is not a substitute for any group of people or individuals and should only be used in the singular form.

      ~Also, i think Jerry is the aspie, and Larry is more a neurotypical~

    Larry David is living (maybe) proof that a lot of us losers really can find success. But only in television. That’s the catch. You will fail unless you go into television.

    I love how a lot of the fucked up shit with Seinfeld and George's parents on the show seems to come from Larry's life. I mean, the whole show is steeped in his own personal experience.

    Jason introduces him and mentions his Seinfeld character: remember "George" in the bar spotting a woman by herself - ends up with her yelling across the room: "HEY ELLEN this guy's a WRITER he writes a SITCOM!! Can you believe he tried to hit on me with THAT???"

    I think the reason LD is a lot better at creating hilarious TV than he is at writing hilarious stand-up or spoken material is because he thinks of visual and conceptual ideas that are best expressed through character and scenario. I like 'Seinfeld' but 'Curb' is on another level.
