Well, I'm reviewing here too, because this was so good.  If you manage to make the Karen haters sad, you're doing something right.

Author's Response: Well if you're nice enough to review places, I'm certainly nice enough to respond to both :)  I really appreciate your support of the story, even if it does make you feel sorry for our most hated JAM roadblock.

Summary: Kelly, with Ryan's help, submits Pam for a television make over show. Set way back when Jim and Karen were still together, Pam was a single gal, and Ryan had been banished to the annex with Kally and Toby.

Holy crap, the Creed parts had me doubled over laughing (and possibly goobering - sorry).  Just too funny.

But wasn't DinkinFlicka playing this game just today?  Isn't that an amazing coincidence that you both post the playing of this game on the same day.  Unless that was prearranged.

Ha!  Jim, you idiot!  What are you going to do now?

You know, for a BADFIC this was actually pretty good.  I've seen serious fics being much more creepy/lame/absurd/(usually very boring)/repetitive/poorly written.  You may just be too good to be bad.

Author's Response: I think you're right - I kindof missed the point.  I thought writing a normal fic on a bad subject would get me there, but now I think I'll pull this from the badfic and use it as a launching pad for a shameless smut series, starring Jim .  Thanks for the feedback!

There were so many funny bits all the way through this.  I don't know how you do it.

Our kids are going to hate us no matter what.  So very true.  Take that prospective parents!

I just wish you wouldn’t bring up babies while we’re having sex My brother's wife has been talking about babies an awful lot recently.  Pretty much every other sentence for the past week.  He's scared.

And the short jokes and Kelly getting Ryan a chair so he can reach the top cabinet and his family maybe being a little worried that he was gay!  Just too good.



Author's Response: Thank you!! I'm glad you found it funny, I could watch those two bicker all day.  They should have a whole episode of that sometime.

When I worked in an auto plant, one of the jobs that was forced upon me as bottom head on the engineering totem pole was 'heat stress relief'.  They loaned me out to the Health and Safety department and I would walk around the plant with a high-tech thermometer and record the wet-bulb temperature.  If we got over a certain value (according to a handy chart they supplied me with) I would order extra long breaks and the distribution of popsicles for the line workers.

So basically what I'm saying is that popsicles might fit the bill here.  You know what I'm talking about.
