Thursday Televison Takedown

Ok, that title was lame...hella-lame. Anyway, it's not like we have an editor, so get over it. Tonight is a very special night for television. Not only is it the season premiere of the Office(hour-long, starts at 9), but we also get our third straight week of one hour of IASiP. So there is two hours of television(1.25-1.5 if you skip the commercials) for you enjoyment(except Pat, who apparently bought the starving law student cable package that doesn't get FX or FSC, which is gay). The Office will start out the season with 4 hour-long episodes, so be prepared to bring your own recorded sound track so you can enjoy it even without your sense of humor.*

I have not yet watched the House season premiere, but I did watch Heroes, which was pretty good. Some notes:

• The white samurai was kinda lame. I mean, wouldn't it have made more sense for Hiro to just time travel back right away. And regardless, why are they(Star Trek guy and Ando) sitting around waiting for him when he can time travel back to any day he wants. I think time travel in itself makes me frustrated because there's too many things that make it so implausible.
  
• I think the latina lady's power is like some kind of uber-opera singer falsetto weapon or something. They all seemed to be bleeding from the ears. Either that or some kind of roast beef weapon that makes their eyes bleed.
• Cheerleader's story was superlame. And Peter Pan was pretty creepy as well.
• Does Parkmen have no friends? None of them are wondering why he now lives with a 7 year old girl? Why does she own him? What kind of pussy is he?
• Who else besides me would get super excited if somebody was rushing at Mohinder and all of a sudden he punched them from like 10 feet away with his extending arms...just me? OK...
• I hope they explain how Nathan flew Peter up into the stratosphere and then didn't get hurt by the explosion. Did he drop him? I mean what the hell. Why didn't Peter just fly himself? Anyway, now Nathan's in the Taliban and Peter's hanging with there guys who make Paddy's Irish Pub look like it's straight from Dublin.
• I like swords as much as the next guy, but if someone marked me for death...I think I'd just get a gun...c'mon.
• From what I can tell they are going to start introducing a ton of new characters...which I'm kind of on the fence about. I'm a little worried about oversaturation, and the fact that I already don't really care about some of the characters they have.
  

OK, that's enough for now. Happy viewing.



*Sidenote: If you don't have the Third Season DVD, i recommend it. 3 hours of deleted scenes, including one from the Ben Franklin Episode where Dwight asks Michael if he came in his pants while getting a lapdance.

And I was made to believe that Dwight had the perfect immune system

Citizens are not given prizes for being Citizens...

Because I am the purveyor of all things GOB, here is the link to watch the latest episode of 30 Rock which he guest starred on. Very Funny, I especially enjoyed when Thomas Jefferson proclaimed on Maury Povich that he "invented America."

Not too much happening on my end, I'm still jobless and last night I got drunk alone. I also did not turn the heater on so it was a brisk 40 degrees inside when I woke up. I also made bacon this morning, to go along with the toast and fruit snacks(calcium!). I also made 60 dollars because my neighbor felt bad that he had been pirating my wireless. I was actually nervous when going to the door because apparently my reaction to doorbells is that I have done something wrong.

I thought the Office was pretty sweet last night. Dwight totally pulled a "Bobby" on Roy, except substitute Jim for Sojo, and Roy for Random DU guy. Also Jim didn't manage to punch Dwight. So I guess not at all. But the internet really needs more mention of Sojo, so here it is.

[Update: I did find some mentions of Sojo, including this one where they spell his name SoJo. They don't give out his e-mail, but we could call him at least.]

I'm still waiting for an explanation of what 100% animals is supposed to mean...

Did You Carve Up Any Ice, You Know, With Your Weiner?

So, the results of our poll are as follows.
Pam - 72%
Karen - 28%
Total votes - 25

I'm actually pretty disappointed that only 25 people voted. We got over a thousand hits this weekend of people coming to see that picture of Jenna Fischer with her towel, yet barely anyone voted for Pam while doing their porn search. Although quite a few might have been angry about being tricked into seeing that Grizzly Bear sleeping in a bed. We should thank Jenna Fischer for allowing Will Ferrell to grab her boobs in Blades of Glory, leading to our unprecedented popularity for the weekend.

On a plus note, almost all the television shows that matter are new this week.*
We can all look forward to a 40 minute (well 27 minutes of actual episode) episode of the Office.

Blades of Glory -
Quite good. There were only a few times that I laughed by myself, which is good for the other movie-goers since I like to use the big laugh then. My only real complaint was that it could have used more GOB, but that is my complaint about nearly everything that is on TV.^ I was also kind of angry that Will Ferrell clearly stole GOB's "least reliable trick" for his victory celebrations. I thought it was better than Talledega Nights, but that may have been the GOB talking, I don't know.

*Not heroes, I believe that comes back in 2-3 weeks?
^Will Arnett will be guest starring on 30 Rock this week.

News Flash

Today we have gotten more hits than we have gotten the entire time we've had the website. Every one who came has been someone trying to find naked pictures of Pam. We do not have naked pictures of Pam. We have naked pictures of Pat, only one letter off. On the plus side, this means that literally hundreds of people today have been tricked into seeing the hairy guy while they were trying to look up naked pictures...so that's awesome!

Query? No, I'm Straight.

Because I don't do enough reading as it is, I was reading a transcript of an interview with Jenna Fischer when this question and answer came up:

What was your favorite thing about working on Blades of Glory?

Working on the film was great. Those guys are really funny. I'm a huge Arrested Development fan, so I had to work really hard not to freak out on Will Arnett for as long as possible and then I broke down and told him how my favorite episode was 'Afternoon Delight' from season two when he's wearing the expensive suit and keeps telling people how much it cost. I did that to him around week two.

First of all, that's amazing willpower to wait two weeks to say "Come On!" I can barely stop myself from saying it to me in the mirror whenever I'm wearing a suit. Secondofly, that's definitely worth a vote for Pam in the poll, except I already voted for Karen today, maybe tomorrow.

Or Candy!

I haven't posted a video in a while and since the office isn't supposed to be new for another two weeks, here's a few things that happened a while ago we might all have missed.

This is a video of the cast and crew of the office reading an article written by Jenna Fischer for Esquire magazine. Horses huh, who knew?



I thought that maybe a few people would enjoy this picture from the summer as well, there's more but they are too graphic to post...so you can see them if you click here.

Awesomeness

Dwight: Oh you know that line on the top of the shrimp? That’s feces.

Just in Case Pat Needed a Pickmeup

Do they have Wii Paintball, because lessons from a pro like him are easily worth $2,000
