End of an era
After three years, the Myrtle Island party era is ending. As you can see from the evidence below, it ended with a blast of glorious inappropriateness from Mr. Hilton Head himself.

Geographic challenge
An interesting question came up at work yesterday: If you had to choose between never setting foot inside your home state again or never leaving it, which would you choose?
For the fellow to whom the question was posed, the answer must have been simple, for he had the misfortune of growing up in Ohio. For me, the question also has a simple answer. Even though I would regret never going to Chicago again, there is no way in hell I would ever confine myself to within the borders of Illinois.
There was no discussion as to what dire penalties one would face for reneging on one's choice. Although revisiting Ohio, Texas or Alabama is probably punishment enough.

Food for thought
I've heard rumblings that my loyal readers have been starving for updates. So as not to disappoint, I offer the following...
Discuss: The Office (U.K.) vs. The Office (U.S.)
The Office: BBC
[Gareth's phone rings. He puts it on speaker.]
Gareth: Gareth Keenan. Hello.
Ange: Hi, baby. It's Ange.
[Tim, Dawn and Rachel all look up.]
Gareth: [embarrassed] All right.
Ange: Are you coming round tonight?
Gareth: I can't. I'm going up Chasers with the lads.
Ange: Oh, come round first. We'll have a bit of time together.
Gareth: All right.
Ange: Have some fun.
Gareth: Yep. Okay.
Ange: Are you going to bring the toys again?
[Gareth, embarrassed, hurriedly picks the phone up.]
Gareth: Erm, Yeah... okay... yeah... look forward to... doing it to you too. All right, bye.
[Gareth puts the phone down. There is a stunned silence.]
Tim: The toys?
Gareth: Shut up.
Tim: What are the toys? Is it Buckaroo? It's not Boggle, is it?
Gareth: Shut up.
Tim: If it's Kerplunk, I'm coming round.
Gareth: It was a private phone call, so...
Tim: Well, don't put it on speakerphone then, Gareth.
[Turns round to talk to Rachel.]
Tim: Yeah, the Jolly Farmer sounds good...
[Turns back to Gareth.]
Tim: Is it Hungry Hippos?
The Office: NBC
Dwight: The problem, Jim, is that people who are really suffering from a medical condition won't receive the care they need because someone in this office is coming up with ridiculous stuff. Count Choculitis.
Jim: Sounds tough.
Dwight: Why did you write that down, Jim? Is it because you know I love Count Chocula?
