The book sounds really funny and entertaining, but I’m trying to figure out how a person could go from analyzing Wittgenstein–one of the most complex and brilliant minds of the 20th century–to “Family Guy” and “The Office.” Don’t get me wrong, I love both shows. I guess he’s just excellent at marketing his skills. Have to admire that. Maybe I’ll actually pick this up for Christmas. I know a few crazed fans who might enjoy it.
23 | Adriana Tue. Nov. 27, 2007 at 10:25amI can honestly say I NEVER thought I would see the words Aristotelian Ethics and The Office in the same sentence…
22 | lew Mon. Nov. 26, 2007 at 5:19pmI knew i could count on you to go, Mexicanity!
Also Brett, you’re a Sundevil, too? Mexicanity and I are alums!
21 | lemoñadé Mon. Nov. 26, 2007 at 8:04amLemoñadé lets go! I can’t wait! We’ve been wondering if Ricky was going to do any US appearances, this just made my week!
20 | Mexicanity Mon. Nov. 26, 2007 at 7:46amI have to say it again, I really REALLY wish I could meet this man. John sounds simply awesome.
Keeping my fingers for the writers today. I miss you, Office :(
19 | GHalpert Mon. Nov. 26, 2007 at 6:19amHi!
Just so you know, Jenna updated her myspace blog, too! YAY!
Can’t wait to read the book!
18 | Grace Mon. Nov. 26, 2007 at 3:40amI definitely intend on dishing out the bucks for Ricky tickets at Madison Square Garden. Thanks for the heads up Tanster
17 | Damian Mon. Nov. 26, 2007 at 12:56amI don’t really know where to put this, but I love the new banner, in a sad and tragic way.
16 | Voltaire Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 10:45pmI hadn’t even noticed the banner.
15 | TheOfficeB*tch Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 10:27pmThat makes me so sad
“There are no words.”
At first I just thought it was a misquote of Michael’s “I have no words.”
But no…that is really sad.
14 | nv Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 8:27pmI can’t wait for the new book because I am a huge office fan, and I am a Philosophy major at Arizona State. Most of the Philosophy and Pop Culture books are hit or miss, but I hope this one will be great.
13 | Brett Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 8:19pmIt makes me sad, too.
12 | tanster Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 8:16pmThe new banner makes me sad.
11 | Elisabeth Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 8:12pmWhen I saw the header at the top of the page with the snowy tv screen and the writers strike poster, I went “Awe…”
I want the Office back.
10 | BeckySue Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 8:01pmThat book looks AMAZING! Seriously, I can’t wait to buy it. I auditioned to speak at our high school’s commencement last year. I wrote a speech about “living for yourself,” using Michael’s “Business School” escapades as a frame for the essay itself. I wasn’t chosen as one of the two speakers–I was chosen as both! Just kidding. No, I didn’t end up speaking at commencement, but I was damn proud of that speech!
9 | Matt Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 7:54pmOh my god, that book…I can’t believe people wrote so much on The Office. LOVE IT. I will so buy it.
8 | Brigette Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 7:21pmI like the “about this site”, I never knew that OT was featured in the commentary, thats so neat! It’s rather sad that I knew everything in the little short fact part of the interview with John Krasinski. I need to get a life ;)
7 | joy Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 6:54pmI didn’t like the interview so much. Ask more informative questions. Also, Costa Rica is more important than his sex life? Haha, typical John. But what a strange question to ask The Office-ial Nice Guy Jim Halpert. Did they forget who he is?
6 | Katie Valinem Halpert Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 5:23pmThat book looks pretty sweet. It’s funny, because I wrote a paper on political correctness on The Office for my media criticism class last semester, and that’s the topic of one of the essays in the book! It’ll be interesting to compare…
Also, cute interview :)
5 | LC Sun. Nov. 25, 2007 at 5:17pmNice “about this site” page, very organized and informative, thanks!
[from tanster: thank you! :) ]
