Noticed that it included a that's what she said joke:
Garth: I'm getting tired of holding it. Wayne: That's what she said.
Wondering if that's the original that's what she said joke.
And wondering, if it is, if Steve Carell and The Office* give Wayne and Garth the credit they deserve.
*Note: That's a link to a blog post I made a few months ago involving John Lennon, Dr. Jekyll, and Ricky Gervais. It would have been a link to one of my favorite scenes from the The (American) Office, but NBC doesn't want me to do that.
One of the things I love most about Dwight Schrute (and, of course, Gareth Keenan) is the breadth of what he thinks is possible. Anyone capable of succumbing to elaborate, grandiose pranks has an absolute beauty of an imagination.
When I wrote about DjangoCon the other day, I mentioned PyCon, so I linked to a post I made a few months ago about an email conversation Wiley and I had while he was in Chicago at PyCon this past spring.
In those emails were questions about confidence, doubt, and our ability, as rookies, to build real live production quality websites.
I wrote about the emails, in part, because they reminded me of my theory that we all have both a level of genius capable of creating The Office and a level of ineptitude that could serve as the inspiration for one of its characters. We are all simultaneously Ricky Gervais and David Brent.
A couple of days ago, I watched this video, an animation set to an interview with John Lennon. In 1969, a 14 year old named Jerry Levitan snuck a tape recorder into John's hotel room and convinced John to talk on the record about peace. Apparently John saw a fascinating duality in people too.
