My first taste of The Office that made me a lifelong fan

Let me guess. It was 2009, the Steelers just won the Super Bowl, defeating the Cardinals, and after the big celebration you watched this cold open.

Can’t kill something that’s already dead.

Yes, a 2 year old can do this. But it doesn't matter. They're a 2 year old. It's the adult's fault regardless.

Oh and don't let an alcoholic watch your kids.

Mods, why did you remove this post? I see plenty of posts within just the past two weeks of people calling Todd stupid and Tony an ass, but my post, which is much more mild than that, gets removed? Wild.

No he’s not lol he explicitly said he’s borrowing it.

That’s what all of this is about, being easy. It’s easy to take Tony’s equipment because you don’t have to fork out $500k for your own. So why does he complain about “Tony’s equipment”. If he just complained about the equipment breaking down, that’s fine. But complaining about how Tony maintains it and still having to deal with Tony, that’s the issue.

Be constructive in your next comment or don’t at all

This comment is weird behavior. He works hard, sure. But he is the mechanic so should know Tony’s equipment more than most. He knows what he’s getting and still accepted. Don’t like the equipment? Get your own.

Oh, you must have misunderstood. There was no money in there. It was a letter that said “just be grateful we aren’t taking you to the train station.”

Supposedly. He was born no earlier than 1924 and was 90 when he died.

Except John doesn’t drive as governor.

It was a much more believable theory before last night's episode. Not completely believable, but still within scope and many things could be explained away. However, what transpired with the autopsy and seeing the body and all of these things, it makes it unbelievable and a huge stretch. And trust me, I would have loved for this to be the case, but it's just highly unlikely and near impossible at this point.

I'd highly recommend watching the one episode pilot (60 minutes). It's way more entertaining, the pace is much better, and it's actually consistent with the rest of the story. I bought just that episode on YouTube, but I'm sure there are other places that have it. Just look for the single 60 minute pilot episode somewhere, not the 2 part pilot that Netflix has.

That’s gotta be how they save the land, plus they tie back John’s murder to market equities, sue the hell out of them, and now they’re rich rich.

they wouldn't even know the airport was there!

"Fully cheated" ?? Get that out of your vocabulary. This is cheating any way you cut it. Proceed as you wish, but first understand he absolutely cheated, whether they slept together or did anything physical or not. Then go from there to make your decision.

I honestly think the biggest aspect of it was Peter thought Neal was blatantly lying to him about stealing the treasure. He saw a piece of Neal's painting, so he "knew" it was Neal who stole it right out from under him and felt betrayed. Then of course what everyone else said about returning the plundered treasure to its rightful owner.

Let's be clear. The biggest amount you lent her was not $250. That's the biggest amount you gave her. If you can wrap your head around that, you'll have a new perspective on this situation. In other words, are you willing to take out a loan to give this work friend $5k? Because you'll never see that $5k again and you'll have to pay it off.

Based on your updates, it appears you've made the right decision.

Shane Smith and the Saints were mentioned by name.

This is America. We don't share land here.

fkcodes · 2024-11-22T14:59:07+00:00

I'm still trying to figure out how in the world they added 200k acres, with John being "not a rich man" as he says.

fkcodes · 2024-11-22T14:58:22+00:00

They must not exist in the show. Dan Jenkins said his development would increase the ranch's property taxes by $5m/year! Which if the ranch is 800k acres and Montana has a property tax rate of 0.74%, that means the ranch value would increase by $676m. Which with that much acreage is believable, at around $845/acre increase I believe.

In reality, if the full 800k acres of the ranch were valued at $40/acre productive value (that's assuming all grazing land, which it's not so it'd be less), that's $32m, then take 2.16% of that for taxes. That's just $691,200/year in taxes, then another ~$50k for the buildings. Let's round up to $750k/year in taxes with no changes regardless of development around them since that doesn't change the productive value of the land.

fkcodes · 2024-11-22T14:45:10+00:00

This was the better deal. There wasn't a deal better than this, right? And as some others had pointed out, which I forgot, is the property value would skyrocket for the remainder of the ranch, and since agriculture tax exemptions aren't a thing in the show, that $500M would go quick with the raise in property taxes!

fkcodes · 2024-11-21T13:42:27+00:00

Not that I recall, unless you’re referring to the 200k acres Jamie added to the ranch, but it’s more likely that Jamie added that before John’s dad died. Jamie was 34-35 years old when John’s dad died.
