Win both –JAM signature
Win first, Lose second - Karen signature
Lose first, Win second – Sad Jim signature
Lose both – JAREN signature


I am up for raising the stakes Queen of England.

*gasp!* Not my avatar! No, I don't think I want to mess with that. That would make me too sad, and I'm kind of on a losing streak.



How about the signature stays up for an extended period of time, like a week or two, and the losers have to come back here and post something about how wrong they were. Like a poem or something. Those are fun for everyone! Just suggestions...

owwwwwwwww

I hope Jenna is okay! And thanks for all the helpful things.. milk sounds really good at the moment.

never fear! JAM will happen! You know I am thinking should I go with my logical choice or just go all in in the positive JAM hope!!

I be back sometime tonight.. when my body can get off the couch ( I umm.. "chrashed" on the couch last night, and have not moved.)

YEAH JAM!!!

Not so good at the poetry, but how long do our sigs have to be up? (Can you tell that I bet based on hope rather than reality. I'm trying to use the power of possitive thinking in order to come up with the ending I really want.)

Queen of England, I think these are both good ideas. Each bet equals a week. Lose one and it is one week, Lose both and it is two weeks. Also the poem idea is great, each signature should include an image and a poem or quote.

Win both - Happy JAM image and quote
Win first, Lose second - Pro karen image and quote
Lose first, Win second - Sad Jim image and quote
Lose both - Pro JAREN image and quote

Does this work for everyone?

TWO WEEKS! A JAREN SIG FOR TWO WEEKS! I want to renege.

Love it Akward! Great ideas....as usual.




Nooo! Are you saying you think you're going to loose? That's not the way to think JAM-positive thoughts!

Hello everyone... Im new to posting and I think this is my second post...I didnt really introduce myself last time so here it goes... I live in NC. I became an office fan while living in Japan with my hubby and I didnt have regular TV. He bought season 2 and i started watching and before i knew it i have season 1 and 3 on my ipod. Im obsessed lol, major JAM fan.. Ive been reading the boards for the past week. Im super excited about Thursday. I wanted to get in on the betting if thats ok.. Im such a newbie im still trying to figure out the whole posting stuff. But heres my bet... For Bet one im choosing #2. And then for The second bet im choosing team Awesome. Only because its the final episode and so many crazy things could happen. I think this one is going to be much better than last season, theres so much more going on with the dwangela and Jaren and JAM. Anyways thats my vote. Hope you guys dont mind me voting since i just got on here and stuff. I really need positive thoughts for JAM or im going to go crazy! This is a great forum.

Don't forget, PH, Pam hair tomorrow! It worked last week. I'm all curly and raring to go! Just call me FNMBF.

And welcome, iluvJimHalpert, with a name like that you're fitting in already.

I just finished rewatching Season 1 and I really miss Jim and Pam interacting.

Welcome to your new obsession iLuvJimHalpert!

Bet #1:
1- Cliffhanger = gatorjenni, Awkward

2- Subtle yet positive JAM interaction = mybestfriend, QueenOfEngland, bubblewrap, iLuvJimHalpert

3- JAM kiss = poorman'sMichaelScott

Bet #2:

Team Voldemort: mybestfriend

Team Sandals: QueenOfEngland, Awkward, poorman'sMichaelScott

Team Griffindor:

Team USA:

Team Blue:

Team Awesome: gatorjenni, iLuvJimHalpert

Team Scrantonicity: bubblewrap

Team HR:

Me too....

You're right! See how easy it is for me to fall into bad patterns? Ack!


I'll do Pam hair tomorrow, too! But is it normal Pam hair, or FNB hair? Or is my doing it rocking the boat? Like too many crossed fingers cross themselves out?

And welcome iluvJH! Please, please, just jump right in. No need to apologize for being a newbie!

Bet #1:
1- Cliffhanger = gatorjenni, Awkward, MarkedArm

I really think that more than one of these is going to happen, but since I don't have the guts to go all in (hey, I've never done a coal walk) I can't go with Team Awesome. I give major props to gatorjenni and iLuvJimHalpert for doing so, though.

GAME ON

I'll second that! My kids got me season 1 for Mother's day and I bought season 2 for myself. I am embaressed to say how many times I have watched them. I love JAM together and although the show totally cracks me up I really need JAM thrown in to fully enjoy it. I have also watched all of season 3 on itunes and honestly didn't enjoy it as much with all the JAM heartache. JMO

Welcome to the insanity iLoveJimHalpert! I give you a lot of credit for jumping right in and betting. I am going to sit back in my Doc Martens (see my post from yesterday on this thread) and enjoy watching all of you gamble your signatures away!

You may be a newbie, but you have more guts than me!

Wow! I just watched that episode last night..... (cue twilight zone music)

It's a deal!! It's been a LONG week and I think I will need a drink to celebrate the end of the week and the beginning (I hope) of some wonderful JAM!!

Boy you guys have been busy today! I left last night after SB posted the JP...and here I find you all...PAGES later!

I have some reading to do...

How is Pam Halpert feeling today? Anyone hear from her?

I can't wait until tomorrow! I need some JAM, big time!

I think she's still recovering. She posted in OT venting, I think.

Her typing was cracking me up last night...I kept thinking of long tim and yoi...

I had a moment of sadness and fear today that nothing JAM was going to happen tomorrow...and then sitting in front of me was a Chrysler Sebring convertible car...I laughed out loud! Not that that's a sign of JAM things, but it was a sign of the office...so I'll take it!!

We're almost down to 24 hours...can you believe it!! I have worked super hard this week and am happy to say that tomorrow I am going to take it easy and relax (actually I'm going to wear the kids out...swimming...), put everyone to bed early and watch some wonderful, awesome JAM moments!!! And if all goes well, Beeswax and I will have a bit to drink...(I could feel the way Pam Halpert was last night with just one glass...). Anyone care to join us to celebrate JAM goodness with a drink tomorrow night? My husband is going to think I have gone off the deep end if I jump right on the boards to have a drink...

YES I AM ALIVE!!!!

I am thinking I am going to go ALL IN!!!

I have had a gut feeling... now I fully expect to lose, but you know some one needs to go all in!! Pam did it! So can I!!

I am go glad I could entertian you people!

I am feeling a little JAM sad, but I think it is just nerves! a lot can happen in the finale!!!

I will most definitely! I will need a drink afterwards I am sure. (If not before and during as well).

I have been on a major JAM slump today. (I posted a little bit about it after watching the Dundies). I feel a little bit better, but I want to refrain from betting altogether because I cannot make up my freaking mind about what is going to happen! But I will continue to think on it. I already took down my sig just in case, so I wouldn't feel as badly about having to put up a pro-jaren one on Friday if things dont go my way. We shall see . . . .

Bet #1:
1- Cliffhanger = gatorjenni, Awkward, MarkedArm

2- Subtle yet positive JAM interaction = mybestfriend, QueenOfEngland, bubblewrap, iLuvJimHalpert

3- JAM kiss = poorman'sMichaelScott, Pam Halpert

Bet #2:

Team Voldemort: mybestfriend

Team Sandals: QueenOfEngland, Awkward, poorman'sMichaelScott

Team Griffindor:

Team USA:

Team Blue:

Team Awesome: gatorjenni, iLuvJimHalpert, Pam Halpert

Team Scrantonicity: bubblewrap, MarkedArm

Team HR:

No I am betting big. I really and laying it on the line seeing as I really only think of of these things is going to happen ( and it has nothing to do with JAM). JAM needs all the positive energy we can, so you know what I am going to go for it.. I am fully expecting to lose and have to have a Jaren sig for a while.. but that is what you expect when one bets everything right??!!

( wow that sounded like Pam and the coal walk! You know what if FNB can do it so can I!!)

HTC I am in the same place as you! SO to make my have better JAM spirts I am going all in.. I have to fully be happy now!!

be like Pam, do it fully expecting to lose, and maybe you will win and get the prise you wanted all along, just as Pam will!!!

I have no idea what is going to happen and that makes me even more excited!! I am so nervous, and I am going crazy!! EKKK, what is going to happen???

if you bet high but set low expectations you are always surprised about the outcome!! So you know yesterday I had a gut feeling and I am going with that!!

If I am going to lose my 2-0 streak I want to lose big and go all in for the last time!! SO you know, lets do it!!! You and me baby!! who knows we might be the ones celebrating that night!

Well I thought I would go read the QTP's on the JP and really a lot of those posts bummed me out. So I am feeling blah, but I am not going to bring everyone down with me. I am just feeling less optimistic than I was feeling since last Thurs. I have doubts and fears. But I do have a ray of hope...and it comes in the form of FNB...I don't think she's going to take no for an answer...(and I don't think Jim wants to ever have to say no to Pam). I am going to go find my Happy Together video on You Tube and get in a better mood!

Welcome iLuvJimHalpert!

Way to make an impression by betting! You are gutsy and we like your sort here.

Please feel free to join us in the JAM Therapy lounge tomorrow night for a drink. I just know we'll be toasting to Jim and Pam.



Ok, I'm formulating a plan for tomorrow.

I too will put some mouse in my hair and channel some Pam hair. Oooo, I am so excited to see what our FNB will be up to tomorrow. She so sassy now, anything's possible.

I will also have pb& JAM toast for breakie.

TOMORROW!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!



I think Pam will have normal Pam hair tomorrow. She is now comfortable in her own skin and Jim fell in love with her in that hair.



Yes, we will call this thread the JAM Therapy lounge and enjoy a well-deserved glass of wine.

I can hardly wait!!!!!



Way to go Pam Halpert! Throwing in all the chips!

Fingers and toes crossed that all those bets are right.



Don't let the naysayers get you down. Repeat after me:

Thursday! Thursday! Thursday!

JAM! JAM! JAM!

wow - this place rocks!!!!!!!!!!! I love how i can count on this thread for that "like nothing on earth" rush that you can get only when Pam and Jim are connecting - and i KNOW KNOW KNOW we'll get some tomorrow. No way Jim is gonna turn his back on 4 years of magic, especially not for a bad-prankin', corporate-climbin', flyer-rippin', Jim-naggin' ROBOT!

(and woo-hoo, congrats to OfficeObsessed on passing 1000!! )

Nothing against some of the QTP posters (I'm one too), but they're not all huge JAM flans like us. JAM IS going to happen - maybe they won't kiss/get together tomorrow night - but it will happen! I refuse to believe that Jim will just ignore Pam's fantastic speech (although it may not happen until the last minute)! Tomorrow is the finale & everything has been TOP SECRET! Plus, like someone else said, they're not going to squelch JAM tomorrow night & leave us nothing good to obsess over all summer. I fully believe we will get at the very least some HOPE tomorrow night. PH is right - any doubts you are feeling are b/c you're scared & nervous. Be brave & courageous, just like FNB!

Count me in for the JAM Therapy lounge. We will be toasting the future of JAM!

Thursday!! Thursday!! Thursday!!
JAM!! JAM!! JAM!!

Here! Here!

I highlighted that description of Karen in whorish green.

Good luck in NYC, Karen! The party planning commitee are already planning your goodbye party.

Sometimes the people on the QTP really do bring us down. Really once there are two negative posts, the rest start to go down as well. No feeling bad! I know we are all going crazy and we are trying to make things realistic so we do not feel bad at the end.

But you know keep your hopes high, but yet expect nothing.

Beeswax and I make a good team because where she always has her wedding speech every week, I always say that the whole episode will be them working and Jim and Pam will not even look at eachother! both of thoses thoughts meld into a perfect mash where we have high hopes but low expectations!

I have not been let down yet this season, and now is the time that the writers know they need to pull out the big guns, so you know you are not going to be disapointed!

I mean guys, just think about CN!! The Ofiice writers KNOW how to write a finale episode! Have faith!!

Thursday Thursday Thursday!!!!
JAM!!! JAM!!! JAM!!
KAREN WHO!!!!
TOMORROW!!!!!
EKKK!!!
JAMES!!
FNB!!!
THE OFFICE!!!!
JAMMERIFIC!!

is it true that at 9 tomorrow GD and BJ are going to be doing a live blogging session?? That would be awesome! maybe we can tell them to send Jenna well wishes from us! you know plus kiss them for moving JAM along!!

I have to say I have a good feeling about this. I don't think it will world changing but I feel like it's gonna ROCK my world!! Have hope JAMMERS!

Did anyone else kind of hope that John would show up at the hospital with Jenna?? Sick, I know, but still......

No I wished that too.. but no he was "doing things" with she who must not be named... grrr ( NO I am NOT bitter )

man the JP is killing me tonight! I can only read about 3 posts in one sitting. It is just getting icky in there.

I do not think I am going to even answer this one.. who knows.. if I am feeling better!

is it bad that I am thinking about Fanfic where Karen falls down the stiars, or Pam does and Jim has to run to her aid.??

GET WELL JENNA!!

Positive thing! She does not have to talk to anyone about the finale, I bet that is a relief right??

I will be at the JAM Therapy Lounge with bells on. I think I am going to go and buy a bottle of my favorite Pinot Grigio tomorrow and chill it for the occasion. PH, care to join me? I have to admit though, I will open it before the show, but I'll have a glass with y'all after too! (I am C.S.T. BTW!)


Thanks!

Oh yeah, I am always up for that!! I'll pick up my fave bottle of Strawberry Zinfandel tomorrow. It has JAM sweetness to it!!



That's should be our plan for next Thursday!! We meet on the boards to have a GOOD-BYE KAREN party!!

I love this thread! It does my heart good!!

Tomorrow, it's toast and jam for breakfast, a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, mixed berry yogurt for a snack, and hopefully my hubby isn't working late so I can get him to make me a grilled cheese for dinner (he's a Jim), I'll do my Pam hair, wear my Pam blouse, and sit down at 8pm with a big bowl of mint choc chip ice cream, my sweet JAM wine, and a box of Kleenex. Oooh, I am so pumped!! I know I won't be able to fall asleep tonight, picturing all the possible ways for them to spread the JAM!! I have not been this excited about an Office episode since GWH!

Pam Halpert, glad to see you back, hope you are well!!

I am never going to live this down huh? Yes I will be there with ONE glass! ( I also had a dirty martini last night, I think that was what pushed me over)

I think I am going to watch all of S3 with the remaining time I have!! This is the perfect time to do it! We get to see all of the plot lines come to a conclusion!!! Yes I think that will make everything come together!

you know it has been a while for me to watch the earlier episodes! MAN OH MAN I am soo excited!! Okay I am going to sit right here and start to watch GWH!!

I have something I want to say.

First, I will be herding cats from Thursday morning until the wee hours Saturday morning, so I will not be able to change my signature until Saturday. So please do not throw garbage at me when it does not change immediately. I am already being punished, as I will not be able to watch the season finale until I arrive back home in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday.

Second, I went out for dinner tonight and over the stereo system came this reminder from back in the day. It is not a perfect fit, but it makes me think of Jim and Pam.

Vanessa Williams: Save the best for last.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes its all a big surprise
cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
Its not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow its enough

And now were standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you cant see

And now were standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you cant see

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last

good idea jimswife4life!

Toast and jam for me tomorrow with some mixed berry yogurt. Pam hair with FNB jeans and tank top!! grilled chesse and soup for lunch, chillis to go for dinner!!! A nice glass of sweet tea!!! Some Kleenex, and a smile!!

YEAH! I think this is going to be awesome!! NO I KNOW it is going to be awesome!

I see you guys here at this time tomorrow for a good bye party for Jaren!! and a happy party for JAM!

Curly will do but if you can pull off FNB, well I say go for it!

Hi all!
I'm freaking out that at this time tomorrow it will all be revealed to me! Yikes! But I am psyched and feeling good about the finale, although I know they will torment us with JAREN throughout most of it. Gotta give Karen a good send-off right? Take your fugly undies and your Herr's chips and begone to NYC!

Here's another thing: If the season finale wasn't jamtastic, how do you think all the fans heading out to Scranton will feel? Oh, hi Angela, Brian, bummer about Jim and Pam, huh? Not gonna happen.

I bringing a JAM sandwich, mixed berry yogurt and some carrot sticks for lunch tomorrow FWIW. I am going to wear my Jim heart Pam t-shirt under my scrub top. I will wear my "Where's my Jim Halpert" baseball cap since it will be raining. I have my crayons with me for good luck.

I have a good bottle of white wine I will crack at the halfway point commercial. Don't want to drink too much, I did that last Thursday and I was in a similar state as PH. Yuck.

Okay, QoE, you talked me into it. I decided if I'm going to be Miss Positive about JAM, I need to GO ALL IN & show how confident I really am. I will be crying if we don't see JAM awesomeness tomorrow anyway, so what's a sig on top of that? Besides, I'm confident.

Bet #1:

I'm hopeless. I downloaded this on iTunes just so I could listen to it. I've always liked it, but since it now reminds me of JAM, I had to have it. *Sigh*

I am starting to think I made the wrong choice with my bet.. but you know what!!

I do not care!!! I have faith that something will happen.. I am just in a sad and freaked out JAM state!! EKKK!!

The only thing we know is that we know nothing!! I am going to be so angry if it is Jaren all the time and Jim and Pam are never together. I just.. aghhhhhh... Help me I think I am going crazy!

I just NEED this to happen.. NEED


I am soooo going to lose!

WON'T HAPPEN, PH. DON'T FRET. DREAM SWEET JAM DREAMS TONIGHT.

YES! I love it! Welcome to the games FNOR!!!!!!




Okay, Pam, it's time to enlist some of thecourage that your namesake is so well known for. We all know JAM will happen at some point. It may not happen tomorrow, but there's no way TPTB would leave us hanging on a totally sour note. I'm fully expecting at least a smidge of hope tomorrow night, if not something to be fully ecstatic over. As for the long run: we all know that Jim and Pam belong together, even the JAM pessimists. The creators know this. You just don't create two characters who are that perfectly matched and then never let them get together. It will happen, one way or another!

Wonderful! Perfect!

Thank you to the one, the only, the sexy, Ms. Pam Halpert

Oh, and if you are up at 6 am tomorrow, I will be posting my wedding predictions. This will be the big one!



Thanks for reminding me about the kleenex.

When JAM does happen tomorrow, if we both scream loud enough we might hear each other. We are only a couple of hours away from each other!

Canadian Jammers unite!



Again, highlighted in green to show the whorishness.

Na na na na
Hey hey hey
Good bye

KAREN!

Oh Queen, I know they will get together... but I DONT want to lose!! I am betting Big in the hopes that I get it!! I just hate to lose the championship!!

On the other hand I can not win all 3 bets right?

JAM JAM JAM

I think I am just scared!! really really really scared! Hopeful but scared!

Hi guys! thx for the warm welcomes. I'm going crazy here, rethinking the last episode. I don't know if we talked about it earlier, but did anyone notice that when everyone was on the bus on the way home. Everyone was singing except Jaren! Hmmm could the wedge already be starting for Karen and Jim? I replayed that one part to see Jims face and he doesnt look to happy. Its like hes thinking about what Pam said. I dunno, just throwing that out there. If anyone else saw that let me know im not crazy. Which gives me hope for tomorrow, got my fingers crossed! If my hubby wasnt in Japan, he said he would have an Office party with me! *Sigh* But Im gonna be here right after the finale, gonna grab some brew. Gonna need it if it turns out to still be a Jaren thing and no JAM. I think I will cry. But we will have much to discuss either way. Everyone think Happy JAM thoughts!!!

GO JAM!!!!!

No, no, no! Something will happen tomorrow!! Believe, people, believe! Sorry if that sounds harsh, it's not meant too. Just my JAM enthusiasm getting the best of me..

OK, here goes guys. My husband just sat down and randomly decided to watch The Office - and chose the Newpeat of TS and the Return! So much great JAM in those! I am taking it as a good sign, so here goes my bet: *bites lip*

________________

I'm so nervous!

But tomorrow I am most definitely wearing my I Heart Jim t-shirt. One, because I look HOT in it, and two, because that is what we all will be shooting from the rooftops after he totally, finally and completely starts being cool, awesome, lovely S1 and S2 Jim again. Here's to Jim rolling up his sleeves and tasting a new Jelly Belly at reception tomorrow night!!! Whoo hoo!
