What did you expect, lobster?
In a short segment on the ESPYs, Rainn plays Lance Armstrong’s assistant, Kip Pringle.
My favorite quotes:
Lance: You have to respect a guy that’s willing to do anything. Well, maybe not respect.
Kip: He may only have one ball, but his one ball has more fire power than both of mine. (Sighs) I wish I had one ball.
Watch the video here. (Thanks, Nathan!)
Rainn talks a little about his audition for Michael Scott (!), and how his scene with Jenna (hitting on Pam while telling her about his National Guard ex-girlfriend stationed in Kuwait City) might have gotten him the role of Dwight.
Listen to Rainn Wilson on Loveline. (Caution: NSFW)
I backfill a lot of posts (news articles, photos, audio/video clips) here at OfficeTally, items that never make their debut appearance on the front page.
For that reason, I present “Whack-a-post” — random links to stuff you may have missed.
Just click the last link in the “Notable posts” section in the sidebar, and another one will pop up! Much like those lovable moles. :)
Recent whack-a-post additions: Rainn Wilson’s appearances last week on Conan and Regis.
Enjoy!
Sorry, this feature is no longer available.
The very talented Meg has done it again — check out the latest installment of Scranton Summers over at GMMR, this time starring Jim and Pam!

According to the good folks at Gold Derby, here are the Office episodes submitted to Emmy voters:
What, no Casino Night?

Thanks to OT reader Nick for pointing me to the screenshots of The Office Season 2 DVD menus over at DVDActive.com, which I have to say, are beautifully designed. (Scroll all the way down, past the box shots.)
But Nick asks, “Am I crazy or are there no Jenna Fischer Home Movies? I thought she said in her blog they’d be on there.”
Good question … perhaps these are just preliminary designs?
SPOILER WARNING! Includes titles to all ten webisodes.

Okay, just when you thought you couldn’t waste any more time here at OfficeTally, I’ve got more for ya …
As you were watching the webisodes over at NBC.com, did you happen to notice that The Office site itself has been updated? — fancy new banner images, updated bios (now of the whole cast!), an Adventures with Dwight bobblehead gallery and sweepstakes (coming soon) and photos.
Oh my, lots and lots of photos. Like, 175 photos. I don’t know when they were posted, but I had never seen them before this morning. Photos of deleted scenes from Boys and Girls, Drug Testing, Email Surveillance, The Fire, Michael’s Birthday, and around the office just goofing off.
Thanks to Jill C for the tip!
