[QUOTE=Baldwin] So, Phyllis caught Dwight and his tiny paramour. What was that about never getting to plan a party again? [/QUOTE] Angela, usually the party planner, was upset that Phyllis’ party went off so well, so she not going to let her do it again… ---

[QUOTE=Iggins] Angela, usually the party planner, was upset that Phyllis’ party went off so well, so she not going to let her do it again… [/QUOTE] And I think what **Baldwin** was saying is that now Phyllis has something to hold over Angela’s head, and will most likely use it to usurp the party planning position. ---

Not sure if everyone saw the [Japanese Office](http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/play.shtml?mea=252558) on SNL this past Saturday. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] Not sure if everyone saw the [Japanese Office](http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/play.shtml?mea=252558) on SNL this past Saturday. [/QUOTE] I saw it, it was pretty funny, especially the impersonations of the office characters. I though Steve Carell would be pretty good as a host, and he was. The new Get Smart movie looks interesting at least in the previews. Steve does not seem to be playing Maxwell Smart as a campy character, and no funny voice. ---

[/QUOTE] Of course, with Don Adams, that was just his natural voice, for the most part. I read an interview with Carell, and I think he really gets the character: Smart may have endless comic misadventures, but he does actually get the job done. ---

[QUOTE=singular1] Aaaaaaand once again I am compelled to ask…who??? [/QUOTE] Lily and Marshall are a happily-married couple on _How I Met Your Mother_. They aren’t the sole focus of the show, but they are major characters. They got married at the end of the second season, and their relationship status didn’t ruin the show or make them boring or anything. ---

Sorry 'bout that. But **cbawlmer** explained it perfectly. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-office-15-may-08-spoilers/449505.md?page=4)
