Creed Thoughts - Jan 3, 2008

Creed's New Year Resolution is to GAIN weight. You have to love this guy.

"By summertime, you’re going to see me on a beach and tell me to put my shirt on. There’s going to be a whole new Creed around these parts and this guy’s breaking every chair he sits in. Say goodbye to the skinny old guy you once knew, because here comes Chubby Creed and I’m going to eat your lunch."

Hmmm, this doesn't sound too good - or does it?

"The Office" Mentioned in Leno's Monologue

The Late Night talk shows came back LIVE last night. Conan, Dave and Jay all went live.

In Jay Leno's monologue, written by himself because his writers are still on strike, he shows us a spoof picture of Jeff Zucker's house (Head Honcho at NBC)...

And then showed us spoof video of "Writer's Town" where the writers live. How can they fit all those brilliant Office writers in that one little shack?

Rainn Wilson is a Charitable Soul

Rainn Wilson is all about the Mona Foundation.

"The Mona Foundation is a charity that supports grassroots movements towards education in developing countries. What makes me so excited about it is it’s not some charity going into a place and saying ‘We’re going to build a road here or a school here or a soccer field here.’ They go in very sensitively and look for things that are already working and then lend their financial support … whether it’s an orphanage in the Amazon, a school for native Indian speakers in Panama or a girl’s school in Tanzania. … There’s no infrastructure to it, so literally 97 percent of your money goes directly to support these initiatives."

Stanley Ran a Roller Coaster?

Ok, well, not Stanley - but Leslie David Baker did!

According to the Sun-Sentinal.com's list of celebrity first jobs, our favorite pretzel lover was surrounded by cotton candy often.

"LESLIE DAVID BAKER (The Office): "When I was in high school I worked at an amusement park operating a roller coaster, out in the blistering heat all day. ... Some street gang came in one day and decided they wanted to take over the amusement park. I showed them how to work the roller coaster and I got in the car and went home.""

I LOVE The Office...

Annie L.
Morgan Hill, CA


I started watching The Office during Season 2.

I own all 3 seasons on DVD, calendar, pens, pencils, coffee mugs, pads of paper, Dwight bobblehead & too many other things to name not to mention DVD's of the different actors movies they've appeared in.

My favorite characters are:






After I check ScantonBranchOffice.com I go check out Nette's Layouts on MySpace, Office Tally, The Office on NBC, and Give Me My Remote.

My favorite All Time Moments are:
- Dwight's shunning of Andy in "Safety Training"
- Jim not being allowed to talk because Pam jinxed him in "Drug Testing"
- The kiss in "Casino Night"


I've had my questions answered by Karly Rothenberg (Madge) and Kent Zbornak on Theofficechat.com. I've also received MySpace messages from Richard Gonzales who used to work on the show.

My three favorite episodes are:
- The Secret
- Safety Training
- Conflict Resolution




"What I like most about the show, is even when an episode is not at its best, there is always a memorable line or moment that solidifies why the show is just that damn good. Every actor on the show has tremendous chemistry with each other. Though I root for Jim & Pam, there are so many other great couples including Jim & Dwight, Michael & Ryan, Michael & Toby, Michael & Dwight and Dwight & Angela. Everyone plays so well off each other that even when the actors don't have speaking lines, their facial expressions are worth a thousand words! I pop in an Office DVD at least once or twice a week. The show is a great "pick me upper" after having a bad day. No matter how dorky Dwight is, how bitchy Angela can be, or what a jerk Michael is, at the end of the day, I would still love to work at that office and I credit that to the brilliance of everyone on the show. The Office truly is an ensemble show and one of the very best ever on television."
