I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm still kind of squeamish over how the women he nails and forgets are portrayed,

You know, I'm generally okay with the portrayals of the women he sleeps with, and the way he talks about them, as a totally over-the-top joke, but when he said "I think I actually sold a woman once," that crossed way over the line for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but when he said "I think I actually sold a woman once," that crossed way over the line for me.

Yeah, me too. That was close to the jump-the-shark moment in Seinfeld when they were so cold about the death of George's fiancee.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Did anybody else completely miss the announcement that NBC are putting together an Office spin off?

Punishingly Intricate

It sounds kind of dubious at this point (was just reading about it on E! online)

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

How much different would it be from the hour-long Office episodes they've already done?

I thought the hour long Office eps were the weakest ones they've done so far, looking back at it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How much different would it be from the hour-long Office episodes they've already done?

The thing I read (can't remember where now) said it would have all new characters -- so there would be an episode or two where they're on the regular Office, and then they go back to their home office or whatever.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I was hoping that was an April Fool's joke. Because splitting up the talent would only lead to tears.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Maybe it will be a touching drama about Creed!
