Several of my younger relatives insist that Larry David and I are lookalikes. You be the judge.

Jonathan, you are not identical twins or anything, but you are definitely look-alikes. I saw the movie last night & it added an odd flavour to it. I think I liked him better than I may have otherwise!

Absolutely not. Never in a million years. If I thought you did, I would hide behind the couch.

This is just one more piece of evidence confirming that Australia is little more than a counter United States, sans topsoil!

I don’t see it.

Jane: I told someone about your comment and they suggested I should ask Woody Allen for a cut of his income from the movie.
Thank you for the reassurance, Will and Franzy, he said, choosing to remain deaf to irony.
Iain: Please note that I have more on top than that other guy.

I was referring to the actual Australian continent when I mentioned topsoil, but now that you bring it up…well, yes, I suppose you do have more!

What perfection, not only an absolute lookalike but the post is the same attitude of self-deprecation. A minimasterpiece of the type one only finds in blogs. Superbness.

Thanks, Paul. Now if only someone would speak as highly of my attempts at poetry!

The similarity is there, but how about the temperament?

My mother used to say I’d never let things go, Kaaron, so maybe there’s something there. But I like to think there’s at least a little bit of Larry in all of us.

There’s Larry in me at a coffee shop here in Suva where they give you cups you simply cannot hold comfortably! Nowhere to put your fingers, bits sticking out everywhere. I feel like shouting, “How am I supposed to hold a cup like this??” but usually restrain myself.
