The Big Gay OfficeI knew it would happen. My oldest niece and nephew's favorite show is The Office. They love love love to quote from there and have eagerly been awaiting the season premiere. I mean, so had I, but probably not to the degree that they were. These kids have downloaded every episode for their video iPod and can pull reference out of their heads like their uncle (that's me) can do Simpsons quotes. And they know I'll get all their tourettes like lines.
If you've never seen the show, I highly recommend it, though it can be painfully embarrassing to watch. I know that sounds odd, but watch a few episodes and you'll know of which I speak. Not only was last week's show no exception - it may have jumped to the head of the class. This is not only because of the content and delivery, but because of what I knew I'd have to endure Sunday afternoon when seeing the kids.
While trying to refrain from spoilers, I will just say that the words, 'gay', 'faggy', 'homo' and 'gaydar' all come up in the script. Several times. Oh - and just a little man-on-man action.
There was no disappointment on Sunday - in front of my parents and theirs - when the kids could not wait to ask me if I saw it. Of course I had, I replied. Matt says he didn't think the episode was that funny except the gay stuff. I laughed and said, 'that's all there was'. He pointed out that his disappointment stemmed from Jim no longer at the Scranton branch. It was still funny at two different Dunder-Miflin locations - and you know it's only a matter of time before Jim returns. I mean - you just know it!
