You know, thanks to you everyone in this fandom is going to be obsessed with squirrels. There are already squirrels popping up all over in inexplicable places. Soon you'll be the leader of a squirrel worshipping cult of Office fans, collecting nuts and hiding up in trees all over the place.
Author's Response: It's all part of my plan for total world domination....shhhh!

I didn't even miss the lack of chat in this chapter. Wow. I wasn't sure if Pam was going to actually admit it was his eye color or not. So glad she finally did! We're getting close here; I can feel it. Squee!

I LOVE YOU!!!! What a weird name for a color.. and how ironic.. John's "favorite" vegetable. So sneaky, Mox! I LOVE IT!!!

I love Bold! Pam! Bold! Pam is the best Pam of all the Pams.
And, Moxie, I love your stories because it is so clear how well planned and constructed they are.
The Jim/Pam dialogue was so perfect and great and fun.
Reading this chapter the second it was posted was so worth being late to a meeting this afternoon!

SQUEEEEEEEE! I love this story so much. Write--write like the wind! :)

Awwwww. SO awesome. Yay for Pam making the first move, with the smile and friendly demeanor first thing in the morning.
I was totally going to look up Asparagus, BTW. LOL.
And I wanted to tell you, rereading the last chapter -- the bit about the scary movie music. I finally watched a classic slasher film I'd been wanting to see forever, and my husband fell asleep. So I could handle the scariest parts solo, only if I'd mute the scary music. So rereading that part of Squirrel and WD's convo tonight made me giggle.
Excellent update, Moxie! CAN'T WAIT to see what comes next!

That's cute. Beyond words. Asparagus. I love it! And so much Jam! I love the banter that you give them--to me, it feels like they love each other, and I can see exactly why. The "Any messages?" was perfect :) I can't wait for the next chapter!

Ohmygod, I love it.

I so needed this chapter after tonight's episode. I just wanted to punch Jim right in the FACE. Gah.
But your Jim makes me happy, even if he is being all dodgey with Pam/WD... so thanks hon :)

YES! Finally Pam laying it out there!!!! No turning back now right? This is a huge open door for Jim to walk through! Oh i can't wait to see what happens next!

She actually told him! I'm so proud of Pam right now. If I wasn't already in love with your story, I would be now. I love that Jim isn't letting Karen get in his way anymore and that they are both being bolder. Has Pam caught on yet???

Aaaw! I love it! I actually sqeauled at the end of it. Jim is just so clueless! Escpecially in tonight's episode.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An unbelievably cathartic return of an Office episode, AND a wonderful, heart-stopping ending of a chapter here. I could not be happier!!!
Love this chapter :)

actually one of the most original i've ever read. keep it up!!!
Date: April 05, 2007 05:12 pm Title: Before the taking of a toast and tea
AHH!!! Brilliant!

That's pretty cute about the squirrel picture and the asparagus guessing game. I can't believe he couldn't even guess, though - come on, Jim! But way to go for giving Pam a little courage. Fun chapter!
Keep them coming! Pleeeeease!
Date: April 05, 2007 04:50 pm Title: Before the taking of a toast and tea
OK, I'm now 99% convinced that Pam knows perfectly well that Jim is Squirrel McPants. I just wonder how long I'll have to wait to find out if I'm right;)
Nice chapter;)

aw! That's adorable!
Date: April 05, 2007 04:41 pm Title: Before the taking of a toast and tea
Wow! What a great end to the chapter. I love that Pam's gotten her kick in the pants. Today has been a good day- first there's a new Office episode and then there's a new Squirrel chapter. Pam is sooooo on to him! Next chapter soon, please!
Date: April 05, 2007 04:28 pm Title: Before the taking of a toast and tea
Oh, that was WONDERFUL Moxie! It took me awhile to figure it out...but at least I figured it out before Halpert did!
Now it's THIS relationship I so love...teasing, flirting. I really miss it this season.
I can't wait for more!
And not only is Asparagus really a shade in the Crayola family, but so is Macaroni and Cheese. :)
Date: April 05, 2007 04:16 pm Title: Before the taking of a toast and tea
Oh, yay! So sweet. I was thinking it was the teapot, but your reason was so much better, and unambiguous!
Did Jim recognize the boy-squirrel eyebrows as his own, or as the fake picture of Matt Czerny, or whatever? I hope Jim's! (They are very distinctive!)
Now I think I'll leave MTT and just clear the mind and prepare for the new show. Only 44 minutes away! But, I had to read Squirrel first. You understand.

Oh, fun chapter! It was good to see them happy and getting along so well after the end of the last chapter. Although I kind of missed the chatting and am curious about how it's going to go the next time Pam has a run in with SMcP. I'm also very curious about whether Pam was explicitly hinting to Jim that she knows with those squirrel drawings, or if she just happened to have Mr McPants on the brain and didn't have a Jim connection in mind...
And I absolutely believed you that asparagus was a real Crayola color, but I went to check the website anyway just to see what specific shade of green it is, and I got to COLOR! Virtually! It was so fun! /random tangent.

Damn, i had to read it again after class. It gets better the second time!
Also, I thought you may enjoy my away message (which has confused my friends as they don't even WATCH the office, those idiots):
i have an unnatural obsession with Squirrels. And not the furry grey ones around campus. This squirrel has amazing green eyes, a sweet joking personality, and you want to climb him like a tree!
new office in just a bit... and a new squirrely update soon? (yes, it has only been like 2 hours since this was posted, i don't care. you leave us with pam saying its the color of his eyes!!!!)
