Still felt he was an over the top dick for most of the episode.

This is where I disagree. I think Larry's reaction on the golf course, his reaction to the cousin asking him to pay for his wife to go to beauty school, and his response about the stone mason was very similiar to his reaction to the DR taking a drink out of his fridge. I actually was in total agreement with him in all 4 spots (however I would have handled more politely though ). In all instances, Larry was in the right.

-In Golf, if you're playing slow then you let other play through
-After a man offers to pay your child's tuition, you don't go ahead and ask for more $$$
-If my plumber, who I don't really know at all, told me my favorite player sucked and was overrated then I would probably think he was an a-hole too. You're a dick if you go up to a stranger and tell them there favorite player sucks end of story.

And I disagree Steve. This one was a little over the top too

I really disagree. The bare midriff was definitely over the top, but I thought this episode was very believable for a person like Larry. Hell if a big bird started flying at me, I would probably try and protect myself.

Why exactly was Larry at the funeral and memorial service for a man he did not like and possibly helped to cause his death?

He felt no remorse or guilt so why did he go to a service where everyone was going to think he killed the guy? That was just a tad too contrived.

I know he felt no remorse, but Larry felt that he would look suspicious about killing the swan if he didn't go IMO.
