Got bombshell?: Where's the love, Gaff?

Where's the love, Gaff?

Georgia: Why no flash photography? Does the flash give you a sunburn? It does that to me, too.
Jim Gaffigan (doesn't crack a smile): Ha, yeah. Nice to meet you, Georgia.
(My turn)
Me: Oh, man, the show was so funny! You made me do the 'old man weezer laugh,' which is the manifestation of the throes of comic ecstasy!
JG (with not even a titter, or smile): Oh, yeah. Thanks for coming to the show, nice to meet you...

Huh? Dude, Georgia and I were both funny, or at least clever. What happened? You tired? You sick of people trying to be funny with you?
I'm still glad I met you, but am ticked at the 'no photos' rule, and depressed by your strange, less-than-cordial behavior. Oh, well. Still love you, man. Even though you were a robot at the 'meet and greet.' I just expected some crazy fun banter. The cute press guy was over there smiling tons at my slightly crazy, but clearly witty comment.
Guess you can't be on all the time. Even though I am... ;)

Rhia Jean said...: I hate the "no photos" rule. How is anyone supposed to believe that you met someone famous if you don't have the proof? And really, how long does it take to get one stinkin' photo? 2 seconds? *sigh* oh well...you can't win em' all!; December 7, 2008 at 8:13 AM

Pet peeves

The expression "kick (my, your, his, her) trash." You've probably NEVER heard that if you aren't mo. It's akin to "kick (my, your, his, her) butt."
Songs that tell a story (esp. ones that start and end with the same sentence, usually of the country genre)
the phrase "as per usual"
that Nicholas Cage Still has a career, should have ended after "Raising Arizona"
the question "what can I do you for?"
the glare of the sun off cars in mid-day
tights with open-toed shoes
cell phones in public
mis-uses of the words 'there,' 'their,' 'they're' (and similar grammatical errors)
counting new $1 bills
