ESSENTIAL READING

The Times profiles Zach Galifianakis. Great sentence:

"The premise is simple: in each clip, a man named Zach — played by Galifianakis himself, in a flaming-red wig that might best be described as the love child of Bea Arthur and a tsunami — pours his similarly bewigged friends, “Tim” and “Eric,” grotesque amounts of vodka, swills it with them perfunctorily, then loses his temper for no apparent reason."

And another, offered by some unknown named Sarah Silverman:

"On the door that goes into the restaurant, it says ‘Birds employees only,’ and Zach just took his pen and put a comma after ‘Birds,’ so it said, ‘Birds, employees only,’ as if they were telling birds that they are not allowed through this door."
