Screen Jam
TV and more ...
1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with
I'm still figuring out how I'm going to handle TV chat this season - I planned to resolve this by October 1. In the meantime, here's an open thread dedicated to The Office season premiere and anything else televised you might to talk about.
Remember - no spoilers about anything that hasn't aired on the West Coast.
The Dodgers clinch, the Office has its season premiere, and now if my soccer team can win (IF! {knock on wood}) then it'll be a trifecta of happiness today.
Can't watch The Office live, though, so I'll catch up with this thread late. Hope it's a good 'un.
Was the art student who flirted with Pam played by the same guy who plays the "head of the TV department" on Mad Men? Seems like it.
So much good stuff. My wife teared up at the rest stop scene. I love the Andy thing about wanting washboard abs before Angela saw him naked. Jan bragging about her candles being used at a vigil, and disappointed to find out the vigil was over. Dwight bitterly kicking the cheesecake at Stanley. And Ryan... This was a very cringeworthy episode.
Instant Office Cringe Classic: Kevin's "outing" as a "non-special" person. Hysterical.
Was pleasantly surprised that they're apparently not continuing the "demise of Pam and Jim" theme that made the finale so painful. Though having said this, they'll probably start chiseling away at them next week...
I am not including season 1 in that scale.
I also wish this applied to Heroes. Haven't decided about that one yet.
