I meant sorry to review so late!
Author's Response: Hi, Sudoku! Yes, as you can tell, I have not been on this site in quite awhile. Thank you so much for the kind review! I do inch ever closer to writing a new one but then usually something comes up and I forget. I had promised two of my buddies on the Life In The Office forums that I would. I better hop to it! Thank again for the review. I'm sorry I'm so late in responding!

I LOVE when your cold opens pop up in here, Kev! They are always so hilarious! I hope inspiration strikes you again soon! I think I may have to go back and read these again for a good chuckle!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! Yeah, it's been a while... I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing these. When the season starts I'm sure I'll be more inspired. Thanks again!

Yeehaww - when I saw you'd written a new one, I was grinnin' like a cat eatin' bumblebees and I up and opened it faster than fresh grass through a goose. I loved the character Jo (yes, I'm from the South) and of course Kathy Bates, and this is perfectly in character.
Also, I love the sayings. I grew up with my grandmother (who was born in 1887) and she was a wealth of these. Every once in awhile I'll use one and my son looked at me one day and said, "Where do you GET these? Are they for real?" I just smiled. My personal fav of my grandma's was "It don't amount to a fart in a whirlwind." It applies so very often.
Thanks for another hilarious Cold Open. We've missed you this summer - you've been scarcer than hen's teeth, and your pieces are finer than frog hair.
And if you stay gone again this long, I'll jerk a knot in your tail.
Author's Response: LOL.... Jazzy, those are GOOD ones! (I'm stealing the "Fart in a whirlwind" one... lol) You're really making me think of my dad with these. And I'm glad you thought these were very "Jo". I heard her voice when I wrote them and they just sounded right. Her Talking Heads sounded like Jo to me, I felt pretty good about her "Voice". I'm glad to see you liked.
"Finer then frog hair"... lol! Thanks again!

Have you sent these in to anyone? These are amazing! You capture the spirit and humor of the show and its characters so effortlessly. Please keep writing!!!
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you! Generally, they want to see full scripts... and I have to get an agent and the whole nine... I'll try it again one day. But for now, I write these little morsels. Thanks so much, I'm glad you like!

Your ideas are so funny, and your grasp of the characters is spot-on. I can see so many of these being used for the show- the writers should be listening!

You're not rusty at all, I was really excited to see you were "back". I can see Michael in every. single. scene. How do you do that?
And this was inspired:
CREED
Insulin? Insanity Clause? Intubation tube?
Everyone stares at Creed.
CREED
I used all those the other day.
Author's Response: Thanks, jazzy! I'm glad you liked! I don't know, I just felt like it wasn't flowing well... I'm happy you didn't think so.

Way to close out 2008, this was hilarious, and the tag was a great idea. And Pam being reluctant, perfect.
I can't think of anything Jim would have wanted to see more than this, and to have missed it...alas.
*still laughing*

Why are there so many pretty boy vampire movies?
I share Dwight's curiosity on that one.
Hilarious as usual, and I loved the "slam my door for me" line. Vintage Michael. It's funny how a misreading of yours led to this. Please keep misreading, if this is how it turns out.
Author's Response: lol.. yeah, now I have to speed through all the posts and hope I stumble across another one like this... man. Thanks, Jazzy!

Bwahahahaha. I love to hate Ryan, and this is so "Ryan." I'm not sure what that says about me.
This line -
Knife-fighting midget prostitutes
- reminded me of In Bruges. Funny movie.
Author's Response: Never saw that. Sounded interesting but got mixed reviews... If there are knife-fighting midget prostitutes in it then I've got to watch it! Thanks Jazzy!

MICHAEL
No.. blood... um.. lover... is so far away and gone
forever. Ah, you wouldn't understand.
PAM
Nope, haven't a clue.
OMG, that's perfect. I can just hear Pam deadpan this.
Another great opener. Poor Michael. Poor Pam.
Author's Response: Thanks Jazzy! Yeah, Pam does great quiet sarcasm.

Perfection.

I guess it was mean to Donna, in that she was pretty much slavering openly over poor Jim, who was clearly not enjoying it...but hey! IF that would be her MO, then of course - not mean at all! Thanks for the laugh again.
Author's Response: lol.. gotcha! Well, Donna has a SERIOUS thing for our main man so she didn't mind at all...lol.. And I think Jim was probably very flattered.. but there's only one girl for Jim. Sorry ladies! And thanks again, Mint!
