Curb Your Enthusiasm seems to be one of those shows that are always quoted or referred to in conversation. I've watched a few episodes this season and have been bitten by the Curb Bug. It’s painful to watch Larry make stupid mistakes and they come around and bite him in the butt. As a recent Curb Convert, I started the series from the beginning to find the situations are in fact real and can happen to anyone.
In one of the earlier episodes, Larry and his manager/friend Jeff are walking on the sidewalk and pass this homeless man begging for money. Larry, carrying a bag of leftovers, offers it to the homeless man. The homeless man asks Larry “What is it?” Larry, a little surprised at his question responds “Its tuna fish” and the homeless man says “No, thanks. I don’t like tuna fish.” Larry is taken aback at the homeless man’s response to free food. He’s begging for money to presumably eat and he’s asking what kind of food it is?!
The other night, I was on the subway playing Sudoku. In my train-car there was a homeless man sleeping on the bench. The train slowly approaches Union Square and a man walks passed me and dangles a plastic bag with leftovers over the homeless man’s head. He says to the homeless man, “Here, take this.” The homeless man groggily sits up and asks “What is it?” The man responds “Its meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Please take it.” The homeless man shook his head and said “No thanks, I’m a vegetarian.”
In my head, Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song started playing.
