Yes, I felt for Michael too. He just can't help himself and when he makes a total a$$ of himself you feel bad because he really does have a big heart when all is said and done.

Wait--was the line "Tuna, are you kidding me???!!!" or "Are you kidding me, Tuna???!!!"--Not that it really matters, but I can't remember for sure and I just LOVE that line. It is a classic Andy moment!

*EDIT* Oh and Jim running his fingers over his eyes and face--anything that man does is a-may-zing! *Swooning with you HCT!*

FACT: Jim was too drunk to do it with Karen.
This episode yields a lovely shot of Jim in all his lanky glory passed out on "that desk."

OMG he's so cute. ITA he did NOT do it with Karen that night! They weren't even a couple at that point. Even as drunk as he was, he would NOT have been too drunk to do it with PAM! (on THAT desk, at home, in the back of his car or anywhere else! )

Don't you just want to put a blanket over him and give him a cuddle?

Ooooo...I'm saying a lot of things.

btw, I'm on Ch 13 of Distance Learning and the goofy grin is still on my face. Moxie is just brilliant.

It's "Tuna, are you kidding me?!?"

And its executed with perfection.

Thank you muchly HCT! I will burn that on my brain!

Diwali was definitely a sad episode for Michael and Pam. That scene on the stairs was very touching...until Michael tried to kiss Pam.

I too found Michael's "These aren't my shoes" hilarious.

And I loved Jim and Andy singing...Andy and the Tuna...good times.

Oh yayy...I loved Diwali tonight! I remember the first time I watched it I was so sad for Pam, but now its not so bad !! Oh and Jim trying to ride his bike and falling into the bushes....how cute! I just printed out chapter one of distance learning and I am very excited to start reading! I hope my kids dont feel too neglected!

That is my most-favorite Andy line. I don't know what it is about it, but you're right, it's just perfect.

I'm really enjoying all this Diwali-love! I guess because it didn't have any Jam I wasn't expecting it. Anyways, I don't think it's one of the funniest of season 3, but it is one of my favorites. There's just something so sweet and heartfelt in Michael's proposal, Pam's dancing, and then her waiting for Jim to answer her. I just love that in the chaos that surrounds them, both Jim and Pam can only think to turn to each other as the one other person who would truly appreciate it. First Jim in The Convention, and then Pam here. And when she tells Michael "I'm rejecting your kiss" I lose it. Such a great episode. (Makes me wonder how long it'll take her to tell Jim now that Michael tried to kiss her. Or that she's agreed to have his baby in 30 years. )

And awesome news about the marathon! I didn't even know we had that to look forward to!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm surprised how easy this summer has been so far. I know we've only just started, but I expected it to be a lot more painful. I think it's been the awesome fanfic and videos. Where would I be without time4moxie and her beautiful stories???

One word, two syllables: Yummy!



Welcome to the thread, jamcrazy! It's nice to have you on board! I hope you are as crazy about JAM here as the rest of us. This is a happy safe haven for all things JAM, Jim, Pam, John and Jenna, and The Office in general...let the craziness begin!



There was a lot to love about this episode! I especially loved the part where Jim says, "Holy Mother of God" when he took that first shot of Jaeger...is there anything that boy does that doesn't make us swoon? Just the tone of his voice...ahhh! I also loved the, "and now I know it makes me sweaty for work"



All those episodes at once...it's like a Christmas miracle!




I know they don't go back to Karen's place...but part of me wonders if she somehow intercepted Pam's text message. I would like to think if Jim actually got it, he would have contacted Pam back. And since Karen was the only one sober by the end of the night...but I don't know WHY at that point she would have even thought to erase a message from Pam...I just want some explanation about what happened to that text message and I don't want it to be that Jim just ignored it. What did the message say? Pam had said to Michael that she had hoped something would happen too...so did she text him that she loved him or missed him? Or did she say call me? Sorry if i've missed earlier speculation on this...



Swooning with HCT, OO and the rest of you!! That running the fingers over the face...I need a fan to cool me off!!



Thanks for that picture...in all his lanky glory...I love that!!! In one of the You Tube videos I had paused it so I could see him sleep...this is so much better and clearer...I love this picture!! What I wouldn't give to be that desk!

I find that I am having a much easier time appreciating these Season 3 episodes now that Season 3 is over with. There were a lot of funny things...Angela's "monkey brains" comment, Jim riding his bike to work and being all sweaty, Michael telling Ryan nice dress...It's nice to watch without the JAM angst clouding my vision. Now would I have said that had they not ended S3 the way they did...probably not!

Yes, the summer is going along unexpectantly fast...you guys, fanfic, Youtube and repeats are getting me through! Thanks!!!

Unfortunately I don't have real high hopes for LtW either. Robin Williams' character seems more over-the-top than usual, and I guess I'm just used to JK playing Jim Halpert, and not someone else. Although in one scene from the preview, JK is down one one knee in front of Mandy Moore and he says in that delicious bedroom voice, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" (or something along those lines). I just pretended he was saying that to Pam instead! (swoons...faints).

Oh lookie! Jim was having sushi for dinner. So cute! Ssssh! Don't wake him. He's sleeping so soundly. He's dreaming about Pam.

I so love when he says Holy Mother of God. His voice is soooo dreamy.

Oh, and I love that you paused him sleeping. It cracks me up, but it's also something that I would do.

I love that we can admit our craziness here and be supported.

I just couldn't let so much time go by without a post here...
So here's a pic that makes me smile! I can imagine this is from one of the recent dates Jim and Pam have been having!

By the way, I finished all the chapters of Distance Learning last night...at 3 a.m. I got up at 5:30...I am dragging now. But I am one of those who once I start, I just can't put down a book...or fan fic. I'm looking for more...any suggestions?

I definately couldn't admit that to just anyone! So thanks for appreciating my craziness!! I do realize I have a problem when I pause videos so I can watch Jim sleep!

I'm just here watching Jim sleep...this just may be my favorite picture!!

I got to chapter 16 last night. I love every word of it.

Have you read Stolen by girl7

It's short and good. Can't wait for it to be updated.

If that's crazy, lock me up!

Enjoying your Mean mag? Is it worth a subscription? I think that's the only way I'm going to locate a copy of it!!

It's the best kind of crazy there is. Count me in!


I checked my local Borders today (and I live in a hip, cool, urban area!!) and they don't carry it. Never heard of it either. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to bring it in my house anyway. I'd feel like I was sneaking in a Playboy or something. I definitely could not let Hubby know I had it. I'd have to hide it between the mattresses!

This picture is great. I spent the morning finishing Distance Learning, grinning all the while. Then I watched Dundies and have to say...

Pam is Amazing!!!
She is Michael's Mother Hen. And Jim, well, he's Pam's Mother Hen, treating her so carefully. And the Dirty Dancing Song with their TH and where she falls...hehehe, and of course opening her car door.
And when they walk out of Chilis & she does her whooo, he wraps his arms all the way around her. Awesome.

Ahhh, what a morning...

^^^I was just noticing how awesome your sig is! LOVE it!

I looked all through "People's Sexiest Singles" issue today and couldn't find JK. And it wasn't from a lack of looking. I am not sure if the 6 people behind me in line waiting to check out cared but someone earlier said that he was in it and I wasn't about to pay for a magazine that didn't have JK as the sexiest single man in the world, nay, universe.

Anyone else find it?

We're going to the beach for a few days (which is a good thing), but I'll be in serious withdrawal without reading fanfic or seeing what's happening on the boards (which is a bad thing)! It's probably best that I'm quitting cold turkey and won't have any internet access. However, I am going to take my Mean Magazine with me under the guise of reading "stimulating and informative articles". Oh, I'll be reading all right, the same article, over and over and over...

Thanks! I love yours too! As she leaps into his waiting arms...

Hmmm.... 3am reading Distance Learning .... that sounds familiar.

This has been talked about over on the fanfic page. I have been reading it like crazy the past couple of days and it is wonderful. She is writing a new one on S3 right now, so this one could last quite a long while this summer.

Away from the Cameras by girl7


I got mine tonight!!! I am so happy. Need I say more?

It's on p.126...but don't blink or you'll miss it. The page is titled "Smarthrobs" and there are 20 sexy singles on the page (with avatar-sized pictures) and the college they attended. BJ and Ed Helms are there too. The dude next to Ed (don't know him) attended Cornell!

I love it! The articles are great and the pics throughout are beautiful. There's a great article on Giovanni Ribisi. Another fave of mine.



My hubby totally knows about mine. He just shakes his head. The fact that I got the magazine through a trade-off of fanfic with EverybodyHurts just makes him shake his head more. I keep mine in the protective bubblewrap that EH sent it in. It's sad but true.

He was also shaking his head at me the other night when I was reading Distance Learning and he said, "Aren't you supposed to be working on report cards?" and I replied, "But Jim and Pam are in Paris!"

He's going to get whiplash with that much shaking.

I thought I had read all of Distance Learning, but I never got to a part where they were in Paris...what link is that?

Thu, 07 June 2007 at 2:50 pm [cue Jim fanboy/girl swoony squeals]

The Office’s loveable John Krasinski drops to his boxers and shows off his sex-on-a-stick legs as groom-to-be Ben Murphy in the latest set of stills for upcoming summer flick License to Wed, out July 4th. TWoP, staring climbing him like a tree.

****
I just loved that part of the article...JK drops to his boxers and shows off his sex-on-a-stick legs...

"sex on a stick..."

Great start to my morning, sed!

Sorry!

I had DL on the brain. I meant Charcoal and Watercolours.

My bad!

Hmmmm...sex on a stick...fabulous!

I was just at the gym and was watching Heath Care on my ipod. Good times. I also happened to look up at one of the tvs there and a LtW promo was on. It was fate that I looked up at that moment. Magic magic magic.

Again, I don't care if that movie is John reading the phone book, I am excited to see it!

Went to see a movie last night and got all giggly because my cup had JKras printed on it (Licesnse to Wed poster). I was really giggly every time I took a sip. My husband and I always share, and he was not finding our coke quite as thrilling as I was. Hmmm...

Sex on a stick - that just sounds uncomfortable.

Oooooo! I hope they have cups like that at our theatres.

JKras on a cup. What will they think of next?

Hey, Bees, I just finished Charcoal & Watercolors...Thanks for suggesting it.
I really liked it!!!

What's Next???

I think the only unappealing thing about this movie is that creepy doll he's holding. It looks like a pint-size mob boss! Yeesh....

\



Now I will enjoy those creepy little robot baby scenes even more!

Creepy little robot baby mob boss!

Maybe this is what Pam wore on her date with Jim!!

Jim would love that!

What a beautiful lady.

I was thinking about Jenna today and wondering if she's getting better. It would be great to see her out at the LtW premiere (whenever that is).

I dont think Ive posted on this thread yet, but Im about to start Distance Learning and Im so excited! Ive avoided fanfic before cause I know ill get hooked, but Im taking the plunge. I need some JAM. STAT. ASAP.

Welcome!! I loved Distance Learning!! And I avoided fanfic too and now I am hooked. And it's worse when you can read it and see Jim and Pam...you just want to keep reading it to see what happens next!!
Come back and let us know how you like it!!

Oh its so good! I guess I found what Im doing for the rest for the night

I just got home from being out and I think sleep is for suckers.

Sooo, I'm going to dive back into DL. I'm on Chap 21. I'm so excited!

Seeing pictures like this make me notice alot more how plain they make her look on the show - very pretty but kind of plain - but it's just interesting how different she can look.

Meg

If there are any fathers on this thread today:

Happy Father's Day!

and since today is June 17th and Jim asked Pam out on a date on May 17, we have a little JAM celebrating to do today.

Happy 1 Month Anniversary Jim and Pam!!!

While many of you are celebrating your dad today, take some time on here to celebrate our international JAM holiday and state why Jim and Pam are perfect for each other. My thoughts about their perfectness can best be expressed in the Thursday, March 24th episode of The Office entitled "The Pilot":

Jim: If I left, what would I do with all this useless information in my head? You know? Tonnage price of manila folders? Um, Pam's favorite flavor of yogurt? Which is mixed berry.

Pam: Jim said mixed berries? Oh wow, he's on to me. Um…(laughs)

Here's a new video to check out from our very own beloved jazzman


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOlML__1pdM

Nice work, jazzman!

Plus he has 3 other excellent youtube videos to view as well.

^^^Couple things:

First, I was avoiding fan fic for the longest time and now like you all, I am completely hooked! Arrggghhh! I am going to print some off and read it today while my kids are playing at the pool. (Hat and dark glasses again just in case someone I know catches me!)

Second, I have so many thoughts about JAM's perfectness Beeswax, I don't know how I can put it into one sentence or paragraph. They consume my thoughts on a daily basis--especially now that I have all that glorious fan fic dancing around in my head. But one statement that comes to mind is in The Alliance when Jim says "...She's so great" before he even realizes what he just said and then he gets all self conscious about it. He is apesh!t about her from the very beginning. *tingle*

Third, Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there! May you all raise "Jims" and send them out in the world to find their "Pams" and vise versa!
