The Japanese Office

Dwight is back

The Office is FINALLY back tonight. It's going to be a good day.

Writer's Strike: The Office

This is a clip from the creators of "The Office" talking about why they are on strike. The part that killed me was, last season NBC asked the writers to create a series of episodes made just for the website aka webisodes and they went on to win an Emmy for their work. NBC sold ad space on the online videos, and didn't pay the writers anything for their work. In fact, in what may be the most amazing part, is that NBC didn't even spend the $28 it costs to get an actual Emmy statue. (Winners don't get to keep the award they are handed on stage, they have to buy them) As sad as it will be to not have "The Office" and maybe have "LOST" not air again until 2009,(UGH) I have to side with the writers here. It's not fair that they get no share of internet, phone, or streaming revenue, and then also get squat on DVD sales.

Creed from "The Office" rocks out with Jimmy Durante

Fans of the office know Creed Bratton as the man who used toner from the copier to color his hair to look younger, but they may not know his real life persona is blended in so well with his character's, that it is hard to know where real life ends and fantasy begins. It is said his character is a fictionalized version of himself. Creed was a guitarist with "The Grass Roots", and this video of the band has them introduced by Jimmy Durante. Creed is the one in the striped sweater and neckerchief.

"The Office" Summer Vacation

If only Michael Scott knew...

If only Michael Scott knew about this gadget, he never would have burned his foot on that Foreman Grill. Poor guy.




WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.

WHY: No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish.

HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the time is reached, the clock sends a signal by a microchip that sends a signal to a relay which throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.
