I thought the ex-sanwich guy was going to be Betty's new love interest.

and someone needs to tell Justin that his father loved him the way he was and that he can't be happy trying to be what he thinks his father was.

The Office is freaking me out. When did this show get so surreal?

What do you mean, Laga?

Speaking of surreal: that was the most cracktastic episode of My Name Is Earl ever. I don't think they can ever top that. They made a Katamari Damacy joke! Oh, MNIE. They do out-of-the-box episodes so freaking well.

Regarding The Office: Oddly enough, I actually thought that Pam and Jim's asking about dinner with Michael was kind of mean. I know there are some people who find their pranking mean a lot, but I'm generally okay with it. But Michael was clearly in a lot of anguish, and I actually expected Pam's move to be some way of helping him out, not making him feel worse. I think her real motivation was getting out of dinner with Michael, and I understand that, but I still felt really bad for him. Luckily, they won their ways back into my good graces with the way they dealt with Dwight.

JIM'S IN LOVE WITH ITALIAN FOOD.

(Also, P.S. I was totally thinking about what Jim and Pam having sex would look like when they were in their room. And then Michael said it later. Freaky!)

I suspect the surreality that Laga has trouble accepting was Brother Mose (Mo? Moe? Moes?) at the Schrute Farm, whom I personally expected was going to be Rainn Wilson dressed up in a beard.

However, my surreality meter had already gone into the red (in the good way) by Earl, including H.R. Pufnstuff in Randy's fantasy, then the whole Crab Rap scene, which sure sounded like Eddie Steeples singing and just showed off the moves of the whole cast, too.

That was the bleakest episode of The Office ever.

Best. Earl. EVER.

I wanted to slap Jan in the face whehn she started yelling at Michael about being so irresponsible with his money.

this isn't the first time we saw Mose though. he was in the ep when Dwight took Ryan to his farm to "initiate" him.

Don't forget Joy flying through the air and PUNCHING A CROW.

Yep. And he's played by one of the writers! Oh, writers.

Also, note to Paul Lieberstein: it was a direct object, not an indirect object.

P-C, he was talking about the use of "whomever" in Ryan's sentence. It was an indirect object. "...communicate it to whomever..."

I agree with Jesse - very bleak. Dwight and his keening about killed me. And I loved Jim's "I've been there, and I'm sorry you're there," speech to him on the stairs, though poor Dwight when he reached out and Jim was gone.

Am looking forward to the return of the half hour format.

Wait, what I meant was that it's the object of a preposition.

So funny, yet so sad.
