An extra’s report on ‘Weight Loss’

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

The Office’s Gene Stupnitsky has graciously agreed to answer your questions about last night’s Season 5 premiere!

Submit your ‘Weight Loss’ question for Gene by entering a comment below.

Remember, non-spoilerish questions about ‘Weight Loss only.

Due to the flood of questions, this post is now closed to new comments. Thanks!

P.S. Hey Tallyheads, just to set expectations, I won’t be asking the writers to do Q&A for every episode this season. I stalk the writers enough already, I don’t want them to put out a restraining order against me. :)

Man, do I love geeky stuff like this.

During last night’s season premiere of ‘The Office,’ Pam shows Jim an art project while they are chatting online — an ASCII version of Dwight.

(For more information about ASCII art, check out Wikipedia.)

I think Dwight would have liked it, don’t you?
