  1. It doesn't take everyone four days of labour to give birth to a kid. In fact, that sounds kind of insane. I only took a couple of hours.
  2. Pam is a great artist and a wonderful person I believe it was. While that exchange was interesting, it was a bit too much Michael is a dick for me. There's Michael being Michael, but I thought he was a bit over the top last night. I'd love to see what an episode of The Office would be like without any Carell.
  3. Aside from last night's episode, Pam hasn't thought too highly of Jim for a while now. You're making this up, or seeing it when it isn't actually there. Pam is just as in love with Jim now as she has ever been. No she's not, she's starting to realise that Jim is kind of a loser, or stuck in a rut. Remember the episode where they created their own lives in that computer game? Plus, as people have pointed out here, everytime Jim is left in charge, it ends badly. And then there was the Chairmodel episode. Pam likes Jim, but not nearly as much as he likes her. I think she's getting tired of just being Pam the recepionist, and wants to do something with her life, while Jim is just sitting there goofing off doing Jim Halpert faces. Of course, last nights episode did change some of this, but I've been feeling that way since the strike ended.

  5. That's not really true, given that rottentomatoes surveys most of the top critics in the country. Speed Racer's metacritic rating is also a 36
  6. I don't get how this keeps happening
  7. My Yankee streak continues- 5th game in a row I've been to that they've lost. Also, out of the last 10 games I've been to, the road team has won 9 times
  8. Everytime Punk loses, baby Jesus weeps
  9. I laughed so hard at Walk Hard that the people in front of me shot me a dirty look.
  10. Dreamer always loses though. That's his gimmick
  11. With almost no warning time, Paul Faust got to join the world of Pam, Stanley, Creed and Michael. That’s right Dunderheads, Faust, who runs a business in Pleasantville, recently appeared on an episode of The Office. Faust made his debut on the popular show on April 17 playing himself, an owner of Disaster Kits Limited, a business that runs in the same office park as Dunder Mifflin. He is a member of Scranton Office Park’s “five families” is asked to attend a meeting by Andy and Kevin because another business’ construction is blocking off the Dunder Mifflin parking lot. Paul is referred to as Cool Guy Paul. Faust’s road to the Office involved several only in Hollywood circumstances. Faust runs Primary Wave Media, located on Memorial Plaza. They publish music and license out vanity phone numbers, and also sell disaster kits. Faust is related to Angela Kinsey and Paul Lieberstein, who play Angela and Toby, respectively. He had visited the set a few times, and made an impression on BJ Novak, a writer for the show who plays Ryan. When writing the episode, Novak based the character of Cool Guy Paul on Faust. A day before the episode was going to be taped, they had no one to play Cool Guy Paul. At 11:30 a.m., Faust received an e-mail from Lieberstein with the script attached, asking him if he could send back a video of him reading the lines. With little time to spare, Faust ran around Pleasantville looking for a video camera, and found one at Photo Works. He sent the tape back, and was soon told there was a first class ticket waiting for him out in Los Angeles. His plane landed at 1:30 a.m. Pacific time, he went to sleep at 3, got up at 5, and found himself on the set of “The Office” a few hours later. It was an experience Faust would never forget, especially when he saw that he got his own trailer. “I got a (bleeping) trailer,” Faust exclaimed. “You guys are kidding me. I had assistant directors tracking my move.” Faust had to shot the scene about 20 times, and then after lunch, had to shoot a different version of the scene. He made such an impression, that he got to do one of the show’s famous talking heads, though it was cut. He flew back to New York at 11:30 p.m. He was in Los Angeles for less than 24 hours, but filmed a scene that was seen by millions of people. “People spend their whole lives hoping for an opportunity like this,” Faust said. “What if I didn’t get that e-mail in time? So many things could’ve happened to not get me on the show.” Faust has been enjoying his brush with fame. Since his appearance, he done interviews with Office blogs and participates in chats with the show’s rabid and devoted fanbase. He’s been recognised a few times, and his son asked him to sign an autograph for his teacher. Faust is also hoping to use his Office cameo for good. He plans to sponsor a search and rescue dog named Dunder, and will be using his newfound connections as a way to raise money. He also has been in contact with the producers and NBC about selling Office-themed disaster kits. Faust was a volunteer firefighter who spend time at Ground Zero on 9/11, and the tragedy made him realise how important disaster kits were. Using his vanity phone business, he acquired 1-800-PREPARE and has been selling disaster kits for the past year. “I love the field,” Faust said. “No one really owns the market yet. I also donate a percentage of my profits back to organisations that respond or help clean up disasters.” So far, Cool Guy Paul was just a one-time appearance, but Faust is hoping the writers will bring him back for future episodes. He would love to do a story with Dwight. Given that he was on the air for a couple of minutes, the possibilities are endless. He could hang out with Creed, or be the guy to break up Jim and Pam. Disaster Kits Limited could merge with Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration. Regardless of what transpires, Faust is still in disbelief about the incredible set of circumstances that led to his TV debut. “I owe my whole career to PhotoWorks,” Faust said.
  12. Why didn't Dandy just say, I'm not going to post one word posts anymore?
  13. I hope that post by King was a ruse just to get Dandy to break the one word thing. The One Word screwjob?
  14. Given that the original only made 18 million, and it was being dumped in late April, it really had no chance at making $50 million. I'm sure the studio was hoping for $40 million, which means a nice profit, given that it cost nothing to make. Speedracer is tracking in the mid-30s, so I think Iron Man will remain on top.
  15. The Six Million Dollar Man!
  16. I got to interview Cool Guy Paul today, since he lives near me. Apparently he's cousins to Toby and Angela
  17. Can you imagine paying $25,000 and you get stuck with Ashley?
  18. Is this Q-n-A trademark White Wolf Enterprises? Did you ever think Edge would become the star that he is today? Is there ever some bitterness over how big Edge, Christian and the Hardyz became? What it was like working with William Regal?
  19. I picture Santino getting arrested and it's awesome
  20. I don't think Funny Games made the top 10, if I recall, its PSA was barely over a $1,000. Fucked up movie though.
  21. Check out the Ruins at #18. Lots to discuss there
  22. Candido v. Funk is my new 2000 MOTY
  23. They haven't wrestled in two years and they're the two most over people on RAW.
