Jesus, learn how to read.
Did you happen to realize that, as written, you're telling Jesus to learn how to read?

Yeah, that son of a bitch is a dumbfuck.

 

Did you happen to realize that you already replied to me with this post, http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...t&p=2338732? Or do you usually need that extra time to come up with stuff like that super witty Jesus line. Boy, that was a good one.

 

Like the way Jesus saves sinners for the second coming, I was saving that super witty line for a second posting.

 

Blasphemy...Blas-for-you...Blas-for-everybody in the woooorrrrllld...

 

 

 

 

(Actually I was just trying to illustrate how maybe you weren't necessarily the "Go To" person on grammatical correctness by using an example from a previous post.)

On another note - my brother-in-law emailed me last night and asked "Why is Pam not with Jim!?" I've been asked this question a lot. Here is how it breaks down:

 

 

 

1. On Casino Night (in May) – Jim tells Pam he is in love with her and wants to be more than friends. She says, "I can't." Later, Jim kisses Pam. She responds but then pulls away. Jim says, "So you're really going to marry him?" And Pam nods "Yes." Jim says "Okay" and leaves.

 

2. Jim transfers to Stamford – This is in May. We know he transfers because in his conversation with Jan on Casino Night she asks him if he's told anyone about the fact that he's accepted the new job.

 

3. Pam reveals that she called off her wedding 6 days before the wedding. Her wedding date was June 10th. So, Jim has been in Stamford for 2 months at this point. They haven't been speaking as Jim made it clear he cannot be "just friends". (I think it would be pretty awkward to assume they've been in contact over this time.)

 

 

 

People want to know why she hasn't called Jim all this time but you have to look at it realistically…she just got out of a 10 year relationship with her high school sweetheart. When she called off the wedding, Jim had already been living in Stamford for 2 months. She has no idea what he is doing there. Maybe he has a girlfriend but even if he doesn't, what are they going to do? Have a long distance romance? I'm sure she's thought of it but it's awkward. She's not the type of person who takes a lot of initiative.

 

 

 

And now, it's been 6 months since she called off the wedding. She's never lived on her own. She's never had the chance to figure out who she is without a man in her life. She went on a date because Kelly set her up. I think we all know that Kelly can be pretty persuasive. She had probably been bugging Pam for a month and Pam finally broke down. But, she hasn't dated since. She's just trying to figure things out.

That was from Pam's myspace account. So it was her brother in law, not Barron's. Unless Barron = Pam.

 

I know, I just wanted to point out the lack of a reference or source with my smartass attitude.

Pam may also be afraid that people (including herself perhaps) would think she was leaving Roy for Jim. If the relationship with Roy was in good shape, she'd have never gotten so close to Jim (or develop feelings for him) in the first place. Jim may have been the catalyst for her break-up with Roy, but he wasn't the entire cause.

Saw a clip of it when BJ Novak was on Leno a week or so ago. As you'll see, Dwight is "very excited" about Ryan's 1st sales call.

 

Something that's always bothered me about the Ryan character is that he's a young guy w/ some junior college education yet he seems completely miserable about getting a promotion to salesman. You'd think he'd be able to suck it up since it appears he has a lot of friends and now more green in his jeans. He hasn't put in enough time to be bitching about how much his job sucks.

Perhaps he was hoping to get a job somewhere else, but the best offer he got was at Dunder-Mifflin. Now, he is stuck with Kelly, when he may have been hoping for a better job somewhere else and an excuse to get away from her.

Actually he has plenty of reason to bitch. He knows he's smarter than any of the buffoons working there, but he has to bite his tongue because he's the low man. He gets disrespected by being called "temp" and asked to the most inane jobs for Michael. Deep down he wants something better and knows he will someday but he has to put up with it while he's in business school paying his dues. I know what it's like to be in that sort of situation.
