    Not that Jay ever put out an album that trumped Illmatic, but he did expound on the above song, and handled that sample with great care. Also, caviar is to 1998 as Lexus is to 1996. Which is true, although I'm not sure what that says. Yeah.

The commenting page looks completely different from how it used to, and I couldn't figure out what the hell "Share" was referring to. So, you are not alone.

    @Foster Kamer: Thank you. I think that should the axe fall, I'm going to survive the holidays by whoring myself out to lonely empty nesters. For a low fee, I'll come over towards the middle of the holidays to make cookies and wrap presents. I'll listen to all of the stories about how Aunt Barbara's just going to burn the ham again this year, and I'll help address the holiday cards. For an additional fee, I'll turn up on the 24th in an ugly sweater for a cup of cocoa. For just a little more, I'll call on January 1, just to wish a happy and healthy 2010.

    In reply to The Seinfeld Reunion Will Spell the Death of Meta
    I thought it was well-handled, to be honest. At first I didn't like the commercials that billed it as some kind of sappy reunion show that you knew it wouldn't be, but in retrospect, they worked because on Curb, they were never actually on the Seinfeld set. It did make sure this kind super-meta kind of episode couldn't be replicated, but all in all, it wasn't a bad episode.

    Apparently there were peope clamoring for a Seinfeld reunion show (though I don't know any), so they did the closest thing that would still fit the character of both shows. Meta isn't always bad, hipsters.

    @mharker: what would a "decent job" of a seinfeld reunion look like?

    this is why missing an episode "curb" is becoming a non-issue. if i wanted a whole season of the seinfeld characters' whining, i'd buy a DVD of seinfeld. love me some larry, but no thanks.

    @thatgirlinnewyork: A decent job would be like the way the last episode was done---very meta, yes, but if you look at the Larry David of Curb as a fictional character with his own world, however much it is based on his real life, it's not as bad as the article above makes it out to be. The last episode dealt more with Larry's desperation to get Cheryl back, even if it meant casting her in a reunion episode, which was always an idea he hated. With the rest of the season, if they emphasize that Larry's basically "selling out" to get his wife back and if it's less about a Seinfeld reunion, I'd consider that decent.

    For what it's worth:

    According to IMDB (and this is probably incomplete, as I only quickly glanced over his credits for Seinfeld), Larry appeared on the show five times in a non-voice only form:

    1. On "The Heart Attack" in 1991 as "Screaming B-movie Actor,"

    2. on "The Trip: Part 2" in 1992 as "Man in Hallway,"

    3. on "The Pilot" in 1993 as "John F. Kennedy, Jr." and "Main in Raft #1,"

    4. on "The Chinese Woman" in 1994 as "Man with Cape,"

    5. and on "The Gum" in 1995 as "Newsstand Owner."

    Looks like he appeared on about 30 additional episodes in voice-only format.
