What This Office Needs Is A Good Inside Linebacker
As a big fan of The Office, I’ve thought “How could they improve upon the characters they already have?”. The answer, of course, is not easily. Everybody has their favorites, and at times, their not so favorites. Nukegirl giggled the other day while watching with me and said; “Daddy, what’s a beet?” Thankfully, beets have never been on the menu in the Nuclear Family household, and as long as I’m the one with the finger on the button, they never will be. Beets rank up there with apple rings, rhutabagas and brussel sprouts. I’m sure Dwight Schrute is a fan of them all. Out of the blue, while watching The Office with Nukegirl the other day, I was reminded of this video. Some of you may have seen it already, if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat:
I think we could all use the assistance of a Terry Tate every now and then. I’d like to take him with me when I go pick up the car from the repair shop. When the mechanic says; “Well, it was a little harder to fix than we thought it would be, it’s gonna cost extra”, I’d say; “I’d like you to meet my accountant: Terry”. I think that would do the trick. I bet my cost would be a lot closer to the original estimate.
Actually, I’d like to see Terry Tate v. Dwight Schrute. Dwight got Pam’s ex-fiancee Roy pretty good when he came in to attack Jim, and we know that Dwight hides weapons all over the office, just in case…
(NukeDad) True, but there’s no place in The Office to hide a weapon the size that Dwight would need to stop a blitzing Terry Tate. 4th down. Time to punt.
One: don’t be talking smack about beets, biatch.
Two: You are quickly giving BusyDad and Rude Cactus a run for their money in the Funniest Dad Blog department. I shot TWO snot rockets.
(NukeDad) One: Smack beets, smack beets, smack beets. You actually eat them? On purpose?
Two: Thank You! Now go clean the beet boogers off of your monitor.
That is awesome.
Beets suck wet dog fur.
That is all.
(NukeDad) They also taste the same.
Love the whole series awesome stuff.
(NukeDad) And to think he wasn’t drafted until mid-season.
Wish I had Terry at school this afternoon. Most times, though, I fantasize about having a shock collar for each kid. That would be very, very satisfying.
(NukeDad) Terry could help you get those “small” collars on the “medium” sized necks!
Heck yeah! I’d love for Terry Tate to have my back!
(NukeDad) You might be in luck; his contract is up this year and he will be a free agent.
“You kill the Joe, you make some mo!” Sounds like Lori (my wife). I always keep the coffee fresh for fear of a serious tongue lashing. Also, I’d like to sign-up for the office linebacker job.
(NukeDad) Tryouts are next week. You have to be able to leg press a mainframe computer, and be able to clean and jerk a cleaning woman and a jerk (preferably your old boss).
