Flailing around trying to find some way to "define" yourself sounds like a sure fire recipe for depression. How about not worrying so much about what other folks think of you. Sleeping is a lot easier that way.

How does everyone not have a gun or four? If I found myself in the zombie apocalypse I'd be carrying enough weaponry to start WWIII. I know noise attracts them, but as a last resort I'd rather shoot my way out. It's not like you couldn't find a few guns laying around Georgia.

Yeah, why bother coming to comment on it on a TV review site?

So that's what completely and utterly wrong looks like.

I loved all 5 seasons of Lost. The bomb going off was a great way to end the series.

Nick Slaughter has been smoking the blue meth.

Yes! A Torque shout out. He was just as ridiculous as the rest of that mess of a movie.

If Danny Cordray had showed from the road he could have changed into Raylan Givens (by putting on a cowboy hat) and just started shooting everyone in sight.

Yeah, him modifying some existing text ,then slapping a new cover on it and leaving it on his desk for Dwight to discover would have made the premise far more believable. I have to say that I did enjoy this episode far more the two previous. It's just those details that slip by them now which they would have caught

Having attended a BBQ thrown by my boss this summer, I had no problem believing they would show up here. The christening, on the other hand, was ridiculous.

But each of those gags would have taken just a few minutes of time to pull off even if they did stretch out over hours or days. This or the wrapping his desk in Christmas wrapping paper would take days at a minimum.

I always think back to the list of Jim's pranks in 'Conflict Resolution' from S2. They were all at least semi-plausible and the repetition of them back to back made the point that Jim was spending his life at a job he hated, tormenting an overbearing co-worker mainly so he could be around an engaged woman he was in

Given the economy of the past three years, they could have written a show that had some real consequences to it. Breaking up the branch or expanding it's world, moving people out, there were all sorts of possibilities, but it would have required steel balls for them to make those kinds of decisions.

This prank reminded me of the one where Jim strung about 500 ft of wire through the office and up a telephone pole. He must have better things to do. It would have made more sense for Jim to have pretended to be reading the book in front of Dwight to get him interested. Still I got a few laughs out of the episode

Knowing how to load a truck doesn't require any real intelligence. The idea that they couldn't find or use the tools available in the warehouse, but instead fell back on greasing the floor tells us more about the writers than the characters.

Your ideas about how television works are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

You seem to think they value some arbitrary standard of artistic integrity over being paid large sums of money which I find amusing. And exactly which advertisers do you think would want to be associated with your idea of 'hilarious'? Do you think NBC just allows them to throw up whatever they'd like to without any

I just don't see any evidence that Jim and Dwight were just having fun. From their discussion about 'warehouse intelligence' it seems obvious that they were trying to make the point that Jim and Dwight thought loading a truck was going to be incredibly easy and it turned out to be more difficult than they imagined.

How exactly was the system improved? Is going from incredibly fucking stupid to just fucking stupid really an improvement?

Well, if you wanted it to be canceled in three episodes you could try this, but otherwise you're just jerking off.
