Thanks, guys, for making me feel better. At least the next person who had the answers, Greg, won and accepted the prize. Congrats, Greg!

NSpector – No, I don’t think I have a photographic or audiographic memory. I think I just watch too many episodes of “The Office,” too frequently. It’s all burned into my brain (and I love it!) It’s my “happy place” to escape from my own sad, little life. Thanks for asking.

I vow to avoid any other contests like this one, unless the prize is something other than an iTunes episode. I’ve learned my lesson. You guys are awesome. Thanks!

Lori, do you have a photographic memory? I mean an audiographic memory? I have been wondering this all day. Those quotes were (to me anyway) pretty obscure. The only one I knew off hand was “This is illegal.”

Geez Lori, pick yourself up girl. You’re being way too hard on yourself. It’s not like you knitted us all cooking mitts for Christmas or something.

Someone needs to help Lori. We can’t let her get too down and lose her amazing Office memory.

Please don’t hold it against me that I don’t have an iTunes account, yet. I’d really love a shot at the iPod giveaway and hope that I haven’t blown my chance to even be in the running for it.

Oh, Lord, what have I done?
…I hate my life.

What?! — you mean I don’t have to put out a prize to get you guys to answer Office trivia questions?

Then I’ve got two words for you: true fans. :)

Actually had I gone ahead and posted instead of saying that I was 20 minutes late, I guess that would have made me the winner. I didn’t, though, because I figured it wouldn’t matter, AND would have had the same conundrum as Lori. I just enjoy trivia (Ken Jennings’s book about America’s trivia culture is coming out September 12… that brings me up to three must-purchase items and two needed vacation days to take it all in).

You got it. :)

I have all of the second season episodes already, so I’ll go with a first season episode: The Alliance. Please.

Oh yeah, and thank you garbagethrower for bringing my enormous and embarassing typo to my attention. ;-)

OMG, I just noticed when you mentioned her name that Lori got the same answers as me! I must have started looking through all my episodes before she posted, sorry Lori!

By: Lori

Lori — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 07:52:56 +0000

Once again, I’m really sorry if I messed things up.

And to Matthew ~ I did not Google any of my answers. I know “The Office” episodes and their dialogue even better than I know what’s going on in my own life.

Alrighty … I hereby declare the new winner to be Greg Peterson!

Greg, let me know which episode you’d like. :)

If Greg declines the prize, there will be no prize awarded for this contest.

(No worries, Lori!)

I say it goes to Greg…makes sense. He was #2 with the posted correct answers. Even though he can’t spell Valentine’s. ;)

I feel like Phyllis did when she bought the too-small sized Christmas lights for the huge Christmas tree. “I’m sorry everybody.”

I apologize for ruining the contest. I’m really upset now that I’ve thought about what I’ve done. I guess I shouldn’t have posted, at all. Sorry, Jennie.

I’d be willing to take the prize off your hands, Lori. ;-)

Thanks, guys! What’s even more disturbing is that I immediately knew all of the answers and made my post just seconds after I saw the contest. I just happened to log on to Office Tally at the right time. Yes, I’m an obsessive “Office” nerd and not afraid to admit it.

Jennie, this is going to sound really weird but I don’t even use iTunes. I was just posting for fun. Now I just feel like an ass. Can I forfeit my victory and give the prize to someone else?
