JVS, did that Office line really just fly over everyone's head like I think it did?

and I hate to be a GDB and reply on my OWN comment, but damn, he called her CINDY, you dumbass. CLEARLY THEY KNOW EACH OTHER FROM SOME PAST SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP.

wow. you are wrong on both parts. there is no park. and mark…well, mark's a ladies' man. remember the office gals leering at the skanks he had pictures of on his facebook page? THAT GIRL WAS ONE OF THOSE SKANKS, douchebag.

I'll second wunderly and add a "good god, people, have none of you worked in an office before?" there are ebbs and flows with competing projects. THE PIT isn't the only thing the City of Pawnee has got going on. for all we know, the final touches on THE PIT are being held up because some jackass is in Mexico on…

I will not. It's either regardless or irrespective. cope with THAT.

yeah, we all know what it is. none of us had to youtube it, smart guy. welcome to four years ago.

wow. well clearly I'm too cool for this thread because I thought the joke was that Kevin's a fat guy who eats lots and now that Pam's pregnant, her cravings have coincided with all the times Kevin eats between meals. hobbits? christ almighty.

oh, yummsh. I am right there with you. my ex-boyfriend, who admittedly had, shall we say, a different comedic style than mine, made me see that movie because he'd seen it and thought it was hilarious.

I hated almost all of this episode. I feel weird about it, too; as though I've been insultedby the show. especially with the Dwight bullshit, which I complained about above. just over the top, incredibly outlandish crap. same with the Michael matchmaker subplot, and Erin's meekness and stupidity. she must be…

and I feel the exact opposite. in fact, the way I feel about the kitchen business is exactly how EVERYONE ELSE felt about Michael driving the car into the lake because the GPS told him so. I mean, I am literally so fucking angry at this show for the Dwight/iPod/mold plot. that was the dumbest fucking thing I've…

right. because cars and people are exactly the same thing.

oh, they got more than just an ass shot. his leg was on the table. there was definitely some sack on display.

Ugh. Martha REEVES and the Vandellas. If you're gonna namecheck, get the spelling right.

hey, violet: I'm a girl, too. can we be friends?

and he and Rory went out for ice cream and crashed the car. at least Logan only convinced Rory to steal a sailboat.

and as michael has no friends or family, getting fired would take away the only family he knows: his work family. he would be devastated and lost without them (even though they obvoiusly don't feel the same about him). michael has no life outside of work; getting fired would kill him.

@embarcadero: absolutely. I marvelled at how meta (yes, meta) that whole scene was. it was most certainly a reference to the audience's worry that Chase will not be able to keep up comedically with these young actors and that his "comeback" may fall flat. so they play up Chase's physical comedy skills, have him…

ROBOT PENIS

just want to take this opportunity to say that I read a yahoo news article this week about a nine-year-old who gave birth. but she's not the youngest mom on record. that girl was five.

yes, but I think you're missing the joke. again michael reveals he is clueless - this time, it's about the meaning of that saying. usually when people say that it is because a past firing (likely from a crappy or stressful job) enabled them to do something wonderful and meaningful with their lives. the people who…
