The arbitration continues with an argument over which is better, guns or swords.
I thought this one went a bit too far with Angela’s character. She doesn’t seem like a person who condones violence at any level, but then again, she did have a relationship with Dwight who’s all about the art of killing; so maybe he’s rubbed off on her. TWSS
What do you think?

More of Dwight’s gym antics that hit the cutting room floor.
Enjoy!

As a native of Scranton, I was glued to “The Office” for 5 seasons, marveling at ALL of the local references to my hometown. (Dunmore, 
my high school!) Imagine my excitement when I got the opportunity here at LITO to chronicle these local references for Season 6! This “golden ticket” just happened to coincide with “The Office,” uh… moving away from using local references. Writing “Scrantonicity” got pretty challenging, and some episodes I had to dig pretty deeply to find anything. Luckily, I never had to resort to just making things up, although don’t think that didn’t cross my mind! And… luckily-er, “The Cover-Up” featured plenty of local references, including probably the wildest, most personal local reference that there will ever be for me… which in true show-biz fashion I will save for the very end of this column.

I’m not sure if this theory holds any water; in fact I just came up with it this very second, but it sounds good: My enjoyment of any particular “Office” episode is directly related to the quality of the “cold opening.” If the cold opening is a winner, then it sets a positive tone for the rest of the show. Hmm… Now, I suppose I’ll have to research that theory. I’ll go back and sift through episodes that I consider “classic,” and I’ll note whether they started with a boffo opening. Then, I’ll check out the few “Offices” that I feel were of inferior quality, and monitor those cold openings. Then, I’ll write up the thesis and report my scientific findings. I encourage other LITO-ites to add their two cents’ worth to this body of evidence. We could be on to something… or not. Anyway, on to “The Cover-Up.”

Aint it Cool News has descriptions of the final three episodes of the season. And, in their patented Invisotext method, they’ve revealed a final twist. But I cannot bring myself to highlight underneath the tease and read it. No Spoilers for me!! How about for you?

Two more before the new episode. Can Michael be seduced by onion rings? Stanley reveals his e-dating stratagies. I guess he’s no longer with Claudia. The second scene is so funny, I’m laughing too hard to even describe it. You’ll have to see for yourself.
Enjoy!

We’ll start off with the most obvious local reference here: Police on the show were baffled because they found a body with no head, hands or feet. How could they identify this body? Luckily, there was an intramedullary rod surgically implanted in one of the victim’s arms, and this steel rod had an ID # from an orthopedist at a hospital from… ta da!… Scranton, Pa! Finally, the break they needed that would lead to the killer! Oh, uh… excuse me, that was from last week’s “Law And Order; Criminal Intent.” Totally different “Body Language” all together there… OK, back to “The Office.”

The first two clips are up. I really like the first one, Michael had to pull himself up from his “Boob straps”, that should have been left in there.
Enjoy!
