(No, it’s not an Office set visit.)

The Office Peeps Contest

Saturday, March 28th, 2009 | 78 comments

Banner: Matt Collins

It’s about time we had another cool, creative contest, right?

First off, I must say, this idea is totally swiped from The Washington Post’s magnificent Peeps Diorama Contest (check out last year’s entries). When I saw those amazing creations, I knew I had found our next OfficeTally contest!

Your task: depict a scene from ‘The Office’ using Peeps, for a chance to win a $30 Amazon.com gift certificate and a cast-autographed mug from ‘The Office’!

UPDATE: the 20 finalists have been selected!

Choose The Michael Scott Paper Company

Friday, March 27th, 2009 | 7 comments

The following email was delivered to inboxes last night:

From: “Michael Scott” [michael.scott@dundermifflin.com]
Date: March 26, 2009 11:30:00 PM CDT
Subject: Choose The Michael Scott Paper Company

Dear whom it may concern,

Bored? Poor? Lonely? Not if you take up this opportunity to join a company on the verge of the cutting edge of paper! Hi, I’m Michael Gary Scott. I’ve been working in paper for the last fifteen years and with paper since I was eight. As the manager of Dunder Mifflin, Scranton I learned two things: everything about the paper business and that Dunder Mifflin is a suckee company. I’m taking that expertness and creating The Michael Scott Paper Company.

This is your chance to join the ranks of people that have made millions selling paper: Robert Dunder, the Hearst family, those people that make counterfeit money, future me… I cannot promise success, but I will promise you the best effing time of your life!!! Because at the Michael Scott Paper Company we’re not just a company or a family, we’re a family company made up of people that aren’t related.

The choice is clear: choose life. Choose the Michael Scott Paper Company.

Click here to begin.

Sincerely,

Michael Gary Scott
CEO, Founder, Boss
