D'oh. Sorry for the confusion and the uncalled for aspersions. Naturally, I take the whole thing back.

I know this wasn't exactly a glowing review, but isn't there something
ever so slightly untoward about having a low level writer at The Office
review the work of a more prominent writer/cast member on the show? Couldn't the AV club have just run the review of this book that Pierce filed before he left?

But impressively little chemistry together in this ep.

I think he mentioned something about them being group emails. I kind of assumed there was some sort of tracking software already in place, responsible for the report Robert & Andy were reviewing at the start, and that Dwight had just set up the email in that program. But even if Dwight had a superuser account, it's…

I hope Stan Lee shoots Chuck Barris. Or the other way around. Provided they're both still alive now.

Hilarious, but really dark and depressing too.

The process does involve molds and whatnot, as opposed to laser scans, so the finished product will have touched something that touched something etc etc the original. In fact, there are probably fewer degrees of separation than the number of condoms you'd want to use with the original.

I'm going as a sexy hooker.

Thanks for the link (I'm too lazy and at work to go through it now) - I'll admit the boost in revenue is maybe lower than I guessed, and a lot of the departures / halved subscriptions probably came from the cheaper to support customers, but I'd still guestimate that in raw revenue to costs, they're coming out ahead.

And Bebe Neuwirth too, and yet they didn't cross paths. While the amount of time it took them to really start putting Galifianakis and Danson on screen together is maddening in retrospect, I kind of admire their restraint with that.

So, they lost 810,000 subscribers to hit 23.8M. That means they were at around 24.6M before. And most of the 23.8 got price hikes of around 33% and up? So, that comes out to a conservative estimate of 29% more revenue (28.38 x 1.33 / 24.6) to supply about the same service level to 3% fewer customers. I wish my…

While I may prefer the eps with the put-upon everymans, I really love the narrations where Serling is just openly contempful of the characters.

I'm reminded of the Onion t-shirt "I appreciate the Muppets on a much deeper level than you do"

But Quisp has to kill the micronaut.

The Danson-Frankenstein thing has never been more obvious than in the the pale lighting as they're going to sleep.

Can I get anything for calling the judges at Monopoly tournaments Boardwalk Umpires?

He's on record that every season of the Simpsons after the 6th has been better than the previous one.

Despite the cash flow problems, if Gillian believes she can cement Jimmy's place as the heir to the throne before the Commodore recovers, I doubt she's worried about him living long enough to recover.
