The Office seems to be back to 30 minute episodes. I’m all for that. This episode, “Local Ad” featured the world premiere of the the television ad for Dunder Mifflin. Two of them. Here’s the recap of the first 30 minute episode of the season. (continue reading…)

Here’s a story of how an Australian woman (Wonderwoman?) crushed beer cans between her breasts. And now she’s being fined for it? WTF? It’s empty beer cans, dude. Empty. I’d understand if they were full, but come on! There’s something there about hanging spoons from nipples too. I gotta visit the land down under.

I’m takin rappers to a new plateau, through rap slow
My rhymin is a vitamin, Hell without a capsule
The smooth criminal on beat breaks
Never put me in your box if your shit eats tapes
The city never sleeps, full of villians and creeps
That’s where I learned to do my hustle had to scuffle with freaks
I’ma addict for sneakers, twenties of buddah and bitches with beepers
In the streets I can greet ya, about blunts I teach ya
Inhale deep like the words of my breath
I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times
Nothing’s equivalent, to the new york state of mind

The second track in one of the most influential rap albums ever Illmatic, Nas spits bars on life in the biggest housing complex in New York City. (continue reading…)

So I went to Burger King after work yesterday because I enjoy a good Whopper. Also because I was going cheap. They were having a 2 for 2.22 deal. I approached the teenager cashier who immediate called me “Sir,” which was interesting considering the guy before me was at least 20 years my senior and all he got from her was a “yo.” I guess it was the button down oxford shirt and assumingly expensive tie I was sporting or maybe my ability to speak in complete sentences that commanded that level of respect. Maybe people who wear muscle shirts like the guy in front of me don’t get that initial respect. Anyhow, I gave the cashier three dollars and she rung up $30 instead. As she looked at the three dollar bills I handed her and the cashier screen, she seemed puzzled and increasingly nervous. Since I didn’t want her to be docked a day’s wage, I calmly told her she really just owed me 59 cents and not $27.59. She told me she knew that and proceeded to give me the change in nickels and pennies. After she gave me the change, she broke open a new roll of quarters which I exchanged for my nickels. Then it took her five minutes to give me the Whoppers even though they were in front of her the whole time. Again, she said she knew that. I grabbed the bag and glanced over at the elderly couple taking their sweet time with the soda fountain machine. I think I saw them when I was waiting on line about 10 minutes ago. Guess they were getting their moneys worth. By the way, the Whoppers were okay, but for $2.22 and tax, can’t expect spectacular service now can you?

If you really like The Office you might want to head over to Scranton, PA this weekend for an Office Convention. Yes, there is a convention being held that is dedicated to the NBC TV Series. There will be appearances by some of the cast members, and you can also take the time to check out some of the other things Scranton has to offer, like coal mines. Yeah.
