We Moved the Press

The Development Team at Lampstand Press has been relocated. We are now in our comfortable, climate-controlled basement, with a full kitchen upstairs!!! We are immensely happy about this, and Production, though they envy and miss us like the dickens, is happy to be growing into our old space in the warehouse. They visit us on every pretext, and we feel loved.

So, from our joyous new comfiness, here is the first posting of quotes for the new season (season seven) of The Office. I'd like to dedicate it to Peter, our most recent hire. Keep the faith, man... and the footnotes. ;-)

“You know, if you strictly take the outline of Shakespeare’s face, he looks like Princess Leia.” – David

“Let’s talk about the customers first, and then we can talk about killing Christy. I do appreciate that we don’t want to kill the girl that lays the golden discussion script.” – Mom

Christy, on moving directly from frantic work to finish Year 2, to frantic work to finish Loom documents: “But Rabbit, I wasn’t going to eat freedom! I was just going to taste it!”

“Samuel de Champlain is my facial hair hero.” – David

“Aww, look at the snow! It’s so cute!” – Lauren

“I’m going to write this book when I finish Tapestry…” – Mom
“I thought that when you were finished with Tapestry you were going to stay home, fondling your koi or whatever.” – David
…. Several gasping moments of laughter, accusation, and protestation go by….
“Okay, well, feeding your koi. Whatever!” – David

“That’s of course what I meant.” ::pause:: “Tra-la.” – David

“Easy for you to say…you’ve never gone and just forgotten the definitive literary masterpiece of the Middle Ages!” – Christy, bewailing her own idiocy in leaving Dante out of a list of epics, to Mom, who is attempting to soothe her
“That’s because I’ve never tried to deal with the definitive literary masterpiece of the Middle Ages.” – Mom, imperturbably

“Okay, I love you.” – David, hanging up with Casey
“Why?” – Christy, asks, totally randomly, to the air in general
“Because she’s beautiful, and funny, and godly, and pretty… which is like beautiful, but more casual… and adventuresome. And she thinks she’s a pirate… except for the times when she thinks she’s a monkey… except for the times when she thinks she’s a princess… except for the times when she thinks she’s a rock.” – David, assuming that Christy meant to ask why he’s in love with Casey

"It's okay, Christy. You can name your first child 'Eidelweiss.' I'll let you." - David, out of nowhere
"Wow, you finally relented. I thought you'd never come around." - Christy
"No, I've actually seen the light. It's okay now." - David
"Actually, it's because I bribed Casey to convince you." - Christy
"You want to name your child 'Eidelweiss'?" - Lauren
"No, honey, they're being completely facetious." - Mom, reassuring Lauren
“Casey only convinced me because she tied my seven braids to a loom and then cried out, ‘David! The papyrus designers are upon you!’” – David (He hates the font called “papyrus”).
"That would explain why your hair is so short now." - Christy
