Aha!
“I just put his foot in my mouth. There was no sucking. It was a spontaneous moment, too — it wasn’t in the script. I just went for it. I still don’t even know how Zac felt about me cramming his foot into my mouth. It’s not like we’re e-mail buddies.” — Saturday Night Live’s Jason Sudeikis, on his skit with Zac Efron.

Z-Attack: Vol. 2
Why do we care about Zachary? Why? Why? I Don’t Know. I’d like to say it’s because of his one legitimate IMDB credit as “Young Simon” in Firefly, but there is something more at work than that.

I finally started watching Battlestar Galactica, which pretty much everyone has told me I will really like, and all I have to say is this: Former Special Agent Paul Ballard is in this show, too, and he is in love with a Cylon! Can this man not have sex with real people? What is up with this?
