OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

However, can criticism of a show, leveled appropriately, lead writers, producers, and show-runners into creating a better product?

You sound like such a LAWYER.

Can I interest you in some color-coded accordion files?

Well, it would give me some nice expandable space to store both of my defenses of The Office.

I'm kidding, Gil. Please don't get mad at me again.

Ha.  I don't get mad at anyone.  EXCEPT MY DOUCHEBAG COWORKER WHO TAKES MY DROID WITHOUT ASKING AND BREAKS MY LAPTOP!!!  COCKBAG!!!

I think we both still agree that the show is good.  I'll stop with the daemonic characterizations of it.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

While we're talking about meta TV comedy, how is Two and a Half Men the most-watched sitcom on TV?  I don't know a single person who watches it.  Oh and it's fucking terrible.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Creed, do you speak Chinese?

Better than English.

That scene could redeem a terrible season.

Are you kidding?  Has this show EVER done anything bad that you can remember?  It's all gold, each and every nugget.  All this scene (and this episode) did was add another feather to the featheriest cap in all of the television history.

I'm literally breathless right now.  Someone help.

I was misquoted!

Seriously, that came out wrong. I meant IF this was a terrible season that line would overcome it. It's not been terrible - my statement was a hypothetical. Carry on.

Great, great episode. First time in quite a while that it was funniest of the three comedies.

Fun to see the stereotypical smug, gay Mexican put in his place.

Does everyone around here know pirate code?

I understand it, but I can't speak it.

Also, it was nice that they let Dwight's character have a relatively human moment at the end.  I enjoyed that.  I enjoyed that a lot.
