Laughter via The Office

As a dedicated member of the LOST community, and "common contributor" to Lost Unlocked, I can not say that The Office is my favorite show....

I am allowed to say it is my second favorite!

During the days when my life seems to be surrounded by stresses and money issues and the ever looming threat of being in the "real world" (and I don't mean that cushy little house on Mtv), I find that a little dose of Steve Carrel and Jon Krasinski can solve all of the issues....

I find myself in a constant need to quote episodes, provide analysis and contribute a Michael Scott-ism, or to randomly say "That's what she said" in passing conversation. Nobody at school watches Lost, but The Office is one show that seems to reach to my friends...which means long periods of requoting and renoting on various episodes.

In honor of my newfound love for The Office (and routine rewatching of reruns....haha, alliteration) I present to you the Top 10 Quotes of The Office (The Deneece Edition):

10. Michael Scott:
A boss is like a teacher. And I am like the cool teacher, like Mr. Handell. Mr. Handell would hang out with us and he would tell us awesome jokes and he actually hooked up with one of the students. And then like 12 other kids came forward.. it was in all the papers. Really ruined eighth grade for us
9. Andy:
They say you should never mix business with pleasure. Really. Then explain to me how a put-put golf company operates.
8.Michael Scott:
So you know who turned out to be kinda a creep? Ben Franklin. And, Elizabeth, the stripper, gave me great advice, which rhymed. Really makes you wonder how Ben Franklin can become president but someone like Elizabeth can't.
7.Dwight Schrute:
Yes. I have decided to shun Andy Bernard for the next three years. Which I'm looking forward to. It's an Amish technique. It's like slapping someone with silence. I was shunned from the age four until my sixth birthday for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna
6.Michael Scott:
Yeah, Ryan snapped at me. But there was this tinkle in his eye, that I picked up on, which said, 'Dude, we're friends. I'm doing this for appearances. I am the big boss now. And I have to seem like an ogre. But you know me, and you trust me and we like each other. And we'll always be friends. And I would never take you for granted in a million years. And I miss you, man, and I love you... His words.
5.Michael Scott:
We had a foreign exchange student when I was young. And, we called him my brother, and that's what I thought he was. Um, then he went home to what is formerly Yugoslavia, taking all of my blue jeans, with him. And I had to spend the entire winter in shorts. That is what Ryan is like: A fake brother who steals your jeans.
4.Dwight Schrute:
I saw Wedding Crashers, accidentally. I bought a ticket for Grizzly Man and went into the wrong theatre. After an hour I figured I was in the wrong theatre but I kept waiting. That's the thing about bear attacks, they come when you least expect it.
3.Pam Beesly:
I have decided that I'm going to be more honest. I'm gonna start telling people what I want, directly. So, look out world, 'cuz 'ol Pammy is gettin' what she wants. And, don't call me Pammy.
2.Michael Scott:
You cannot take the hilarious black guy from the office. Stanley is part of what makes this branch extraordinary. The blusy wisdom, the sassy remarks, the crossword puzzles, the smile, those big watery red eyes. I don't know how George Bush did it when Colin Powell left.
1.Jim Halpert:
One day Michael came in, complaining about a speed bump, on the highway... I wonder who he ran over then.

I was going to make a list of Reasons Why the Office Rocks...but beyond Jon krasinski, I didn't get too far.

"That's What She Said!"
