Get Your Freak On... Or Something

I was worried I wouldn't have anything to write about today, seeing as it has been fairly uneventful so far. However, I was reading Best Week Ever's blog, and saw this little gem:

Was Zach Galifianakis Thrown Out Of Ellen’s Audience For Refusing To Do Her Silly Little Dance?

Anyone who’s familiar with the bearded comedic stylings of Zach Galifianakis knows that’s he an unpredictable fellow, often wont to show up in the funniest of situations, in the strangest of places. Take, for example, the video below in which Zach is nestled among a sea of super-excited soccer moms in the audience at a taping of Ellen, and as the show producers encourage the crowd to do their crazy “funtime party dance”, Zach just claps uncomfortably. While the video ends prior to the incident’s ultimate conclustion, members of the A Special Thing comedy board claim that Zach was removed from the premises due either to a) his beard, or b) to his unwillingness to have a little fun today. Is the crowd dance party at Ellen really the fun, carefree environment we see every day on the show, or is there a dark, fascist underbelly of forced enthusiasm lurking just below the surface? We may never know…



UPDATE FROM ZACH HIMSELF: The story is that Ellen was watching me in her dressing room - and asked security if I looked weird or suspicious or something like that. My friend who works on the show overheard her and told Ms. Degeneris that I was a friendly - there is a little more to the story but I will keep that secret. But I was not at all asked to leave. If you do not dance with the creeps you are seen as a creep.

It's just so funny the way he hesitantly claps his hands while the rest of the strange, strange white people dance around like they know Mary J. personally. I mean, honestly, I'm all about having a little fun, but this exposed a darker side of Ellen.
Ok, not really, but they still look stupid.

I don't feel good. I'm all sick and tired and haven't gotten any sleep. Poor, poor me.

I guess tomorrow we're going to the Rockies game, and I'm expected to go, not drink, and drive home. Actually, after putting that down, I'm not sure why I'm going. Hrm.

This isn't turning out to be the summer I thought it would be.

Cats + Tape = :)

Damnit. I can't believe I'm posting this. I love cats, don't get me wrong, but this video was way, way, way too funny not to post.
