Tonight's episode of The Office reminded me of something Olson whispered to me about 10 years ago, either drunkenly or just using his keen sarcasm:
"The key thing to the future, it's going to be big, Taps, you'll see - the computer!" This while we worked on the Greenfield computer in the Cardinal offices.
Good to see Michael Scott fighting against that inevitable future. Makes me feel a little bit better about my current career path.
Tonight's episode was another too-longer, not-enough-laugher - we'll give it a C+ - but you can bet your ass a million losers like me went right to their keyboards after the show and typed in http://www.dundermifflininfinity.com/. But even that strangely funny faux commercial gave way to disappointment - what, you need to be a myNBC member to login and see this site? I'm not that big a loser!
(Interesting aside: type in http://www.dundermifflin.com/, and you get an automatic redirect to http://www.5minuteswithwichita.com/, and I'm not ready to go there yet.)
Best moments of the show:
1. Andy's line to Jim: "... well, then you need awesome lessons."
2. Angela to Dwight: "I can't look you in the eyes." Dwight: "Look here (right above the nose), it's an old sales trick."
3. Jim's screen showing the original DM website - under construction, coming Christmas 2002.
It was interesting that Carell had one of those freak-outs he does so well, I don't remember him ever doing that on the show before. Him driving into the lake was terrible, it's like something Homer Simpson would do ... but Homer is animated and has done that every week for 18 years. Come on guys, let's not go there.
Was it just me, or did Creed look like Christopher Walken?

Creed: "They need Red Bull in these vending machines."
Kevin: "Your so money and you don't even know it."
"Mostly black guys."
"They're gonna fire all the old people ... me, you, Stanley, the woman you hit with your car."
I think Creed actually called Stanley "Sammy" in that quote - a good one. It's consistent with Creed's ways, like my favorite quote of his:
Talking to Meredith after Angelo stormed out of the room: "That's Andrea, she's the office bitch. (Takes a bite of a sandwich) Hi, I'm Creed."
Creed and Toby were solid last night ... at least in the first half-hour.
The look on Creed's face after Michael said the copier ran out of toner ... he used TONER to dye his hair. Awesome.
And the pained expression and reaction/denial of Toby went Jim & Pam wanted fill out the dating paperwork, then later compounded when Ryan & Kelly started bickering in the cube next to him again.
T, good catch on the "Sammy" ... completely missed that the first time around.
Speaking of quotes...here's a link to some Brett Favre quotes said by broadcasters so far this year.
Think these guys have a bit of a hetero man-crush?

I totally missed that line about the toner, that's hilarious.
There was more Favre love letter stuff in the Sporting News this week ... just hoping this doesn't somehow jinx things.
