MeeVee’s interview with Brian Baumgartner

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 | 1 comment

MeeVee’s published part one of an interview with Brian Baumgartner (”Kevin”).

Here’s an excerpt:

For me, [my MySpace page is] an extension of the show and the communicating with the fans as the character. (laughter) I understand that no one thinks it’s really Kevin. Well, who understands what people think? I’m sure some people are still skeptical that it’s actually me. It’s been fun and we’ll see where it goes. All these other websites created about the show have really generated a huge amount of interest. It’s crazy. Almost 500,000 people read the blog that I write on MySpace.

Update: Here is part two of the MeeVee’s interview with Brian Baumgartner.

And Solitaire’s the only game in town* … especially if you’re an Office fan. :)

Check out the latest way to waste a buttload of time with NBC’s new Office-enhanced Solitaire game. Thanks to Christine for the tip!

* I bet you youngsters probably don’t even recognize that as a line from a Neil Sedaka song, do you? (Neil who?)

Comments currently not working

For some unknown reason, comments don’t seem to be working right now. I’ve alerted my web host.

Sorry for the inconvenience! Hopefully this will be resolved soon …

Update: You should be able to add comments for now, but all comments will go through moderation until I can figure out the root of the problem. Thanks for your patience!

OfficeTally Tagline Contest

Sunday, November 19th, 2006 | 455 comments

One of my favorite OfficeTally features is the quote randomizer, which displays random quotes from the show at the top of the page.

Since no Office episode is airing Thanksgiving week, I thought it would be cool to replace episode quotes with OfficeTally taglines — written by y’all!

Submit a tagline and you may win an Office Season 2 DVD … see rules after the jump.
