Recently, I came across this Twitter post in a Buzzfeed article about a new ranking meme circulating the Internet.

twitter.com/hattiesoykan

It clearly states that the season four episode nine of the U.S. version of 'The Office' is the best episode out of the whole entire series, which ran for nine seasons.

And I can't help but agree that 'Dinner Party' is, in fact, the greatest episode of them all. There are some strong contenders, including season seven's 'Threat Level Midnight,' season three's penultimate episode, 'Beach Games,' and, of course, the controversial 'Scott's Tots.' Despite the discourse in the Twitter comments about which episode is truly the funniest one, I stand beside 'Dinner Party,' and here are 13 reasons why (I swear that wasn't on purpose) you should, too.

1. The fact that Michael pretended the whole office had to work overtime, just so he could be sure Jim and Pam would have no plans that night

And what a night it was...

2, Serenity by Jan

Jan's homemade candles (created in a workspace separate from her office, of course) include unique smells, such as fire - sorry, bonfire.

3. Michael having to sleep on a bench in front of his bed

Jan needs her space, okay?

4. Michael's brand new $200 plasma screen T.V.

It's honestly more than I could afford.

5. The great Michael and Pam romance, according to Jan

She's seen the way Pam looks at Michael, and all I can say is, move aside Jim and Pam.

6. "That's sort of an oaky afterbirth"

Only Michael.

7. Jan dancing to her ex-assistant, Hunter's, song

"You took me by the hand, you made me a man! That one night, you made everything alright!"

8. Jim willing to leave Pam at the party, just so he could get out

Whether his apartment was flooded or on fire, the fact of the matter is, you can always buy new stuff but you can't buy a new party.

9. Dwight showing up unannounced with his old babysitter as his date

This is why Dwight is one of the best characters ever.

10. Michael getting three vasectomies because he and Jan couldn't decide if they wanted kids or not

"You have no idea the physical toll three vasectomies have on a person!"

11. Jan throwing Michael's dundie at his plasma screen T.V.

And then tried to glue it back together at the end of the episode.

12. Which prompted the cops to come after receiving a noise complaint

"Not now, Dwight."

13. And, finally, Jim and Pam stealing Jan's CD of Hunter's song

"So raw so right all night all right, oh yeah."

Now, go re-watch the episode, I know you want to!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
