The Office Anagram Game is the decathlon of Office games: difficult and grueling, it presents a formidable test of your lexical prowess. The rules are simple: take a phrase about the show and rearrange the letters to uncover a hidden message. The phrase does not need to be a quote from the show, although you may certainly go that route.
I summon the following brilliant example from Nathan, the originator of the game:
Pamela? She is the receptionist

Hip artiste entices male hopes
The bar has been set; lesser diehards need not apply. A valid entry guarantees that no one will ever question your allegiance to the show. Your street cred will forever remain intact.

Wow! Amazing work.
so technically, could I use Adapt, react, readapt, act?
Speculation without spoilers:
Having run into Dwight on his connecting flight to Mordor, and hence being reminded yet again of Pam, the Australian vacation of Jim Halpert takes a turn for the worse when, feeling miserable after having a few too many drinks at his hotel bar, Jim finally loses it, and commits a series of pranks against members of the hotel staff, resulting in his arrest. At the local police station, a heartbroken Jim is allowed one phone call (one very short phone call, due to his lack of nickels), and sobbing into the phone, he leaves this somewhat incoherent message on Pam’s answering machine:
“…’m…jail…Perth.”
A Mr. Greg Daniels is a producer,
or, as he might say using a gambling metaphor,

They'd better keep Jim in town because

Interesting, except any tourist in his right mind wouldn't visit Perth! There's absolutley nothing to do there...
