A deleted scene from The Office episode, Pool Party.
From promising bachanals that never happened, to the failed attempts to rekindle an old flame, Robert’s pool party was all wet.

The Office as a Counter Strike Source map
A fan of The Office has created a Counter Strike Source map of the Dunder Mifflin set!
Says creator Blitzkrieg1981: “This easily consumed as much as 500 hours playing and pausing episodes, looking at the office tally and blue prints. I’m not the most experienced css mapper, most of the architect is based on meticulously shaped blocks as the props just didn’t really cut it. PM me if your interested in helping or taking it over; don’t have the time to finish it these days. Need to be experienced, very good at detail, likes The Office and have a shitload of time on their hands.”
Would Dwight love this or what?
Coincidentally, I took video of the Dunder Mifflin set (to be released soon), and Blitzkrieg1981 did an awesome job with the mapping accuracy!
P.S. Here are the blueprints and The Office theme song that are referenced.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart recently likened an old photo of Newt Gingrich with one of The Office’s Dwight Schrute:
“Why would you choose me? Because I’m mighty? Cause I’m the manliest man in the office?”

What is your favorite part of The Office set and why?
UPDATE Thu Jan 19, 7pm PT: I’m moderating Pool Party comments while waiting for my flight out of Bob Hope Airport (a blogger’s job is never done!). Yep, flew in this morning, and flying back home tonight. Full day on The Office set, but a little bit different from my past set visits in that 1) most of the morning was spent being interviewed by Reveille, 2) the time I got to spend watching scenes being filmed was not on the main set, but in a crowded hallway, and 3) most of the cast was off today. Still, I love coming here! Got to stand about 10 feet away watching some groundbreaking Jim/Dwight interaction being shot, and learned some interesting stuff about upcoming episodes and guest stars. And tried to take as many pictures as I could, based on your requests! Hope to post more this weekend. :)
