Today I decided to start calling my friend by a new name after this huge link I made between his name and his new nickname. I know Michael did this on the office and i can't remember which episode it was or who the name was for. It wasn't Jim Halpert/Fat Albert, but it was something where Michael called someone (I'm pretty sure one of the guys) by a nickname and then made the whole link back to his real name. Any help??
Maybe you're thinking of that episode in Season One where he calls Darryl Mitha Rogers?
Ryan: Darryl Rogers? Darryl: No, Darryl Philbin. Then Regis. Then Reg. Then Rog. Then...Mitha Rogers.
Or something like that. :) Maybe?
There's nothing better than an (almost) completely irrelevant nickname. Red Sox fans have already started calling JD Drew "Veronica Mars".
Dwightfromthefuture, why do BoSox fans do that?
Kristen Bell isn't a waste of money.
The progression goes like this:
JD Drew --> Nancy Drew (because, apparently, he's a girl) --> Veronica Mars (because she's much cooler than Nancy Drew, and what's wrong with being a girl?)
It comes down to some of us feeling that JD Drew is a much better player than he ever gets credit for.

Huh. I thought it was because JD Drew gets hurt a lot and has been criticized for not playing with passion and effort so he was being called a girl.

That's what Dodgers fans calling him "Nancy Drew" was about. My understanding of "Veronica Mars" is that some of us over at Baseball Primer were trying to reclaim him. And make his nickname more witty. Because "Nancy Drew" . . . it just comes off as lazy.
Okay, I'm sort of hijacking this thread's subject (if I were starting my own thread I might call it But Dwight thinks it's Friday, so keep that going) -- as a demonstration of my fantastic skills at procrastination, I started keeping track of which days of the week each episode takes place, and Friday wins by a large margin!
Pilot: Friday. (Pam wishes Jim a nice weekend when she leaves.)
Diversity Day: Unknown.
Health Care: Friday. (Michael says, "See you guys on Monday.")
The Alliance: Unknown.
Basketball: Initially not Friday. (Everybody says "this Saturday" instead of "tomorrow".) And then suddenly Friday. (Michael says "Nobody's coming in tomorrow.")
Hot Girl: Friday. (Pam asks Jim what his weekend plans are.)
The Dundies: Unknown.
Sexual Harassment: Unknown.
Office Olympics: Unknown.
Halloween: Monday. (Halloween fell on a Monday.)
The Fight: Friday. (The Perfect Storm.)
The Client: Not Friday. (Angela comes to work the next morning.)
Performance Review: Thursday.
Email Surveillance: Friday. (Dwight says, "I'll see you Monday" to Michael.) Although the evitation say November 5, which was a Saturday, so maybe they were working on Saturday.
That's interesting. I wonder what days the newer episodes take place on.
I wonder that about a lot of the old threads. Our mods were not half as good as they are now, I guess.
