Kind of a place-holder episode, but fun. It took the lesser stories to carry it.
-An interesting plot for Michael. His ideas may be stupid, but Stanley was of course way out of line. I was expecting tickling at some point...and was happy I didn't get it.
-Wow, Ryan's a prick. And Toby...
-The Dwight vs. Andy B-plot was full of win, especially washing the car. And ad-libs...wow, who wouldn't want to be with Angela?

AND a big red X through Andy's name...
Awesome.
I don't suppose there's a screengrab of this anywhere on the interwebz, because I missed both of these things ...

"I'd like to put a piano in front of Pam, without her glasses, and see what happens..."
"...I'd also like to see her topless." Creed rules.
So this morning we paused the show on the big-screen as Dwight showed the emergency chart and noticed the following:
- It isn't the Triforce next to his name. It's more akin to the old radiation symbol you'd see on fallout shelters.
- Andy does indeed have a large red X through him.
- Everyone has a small logo next to their name. Kelly has the female gender sign. Oscar has two male gender signs. Stanley has the black power fist. Toby has a Star of David.
- Creed's name is in quotes on the chart. It is listed as "Creed Bratton".
- To the left of Dwight's name (right side of the screen) is a smaller offshoot org chart that shows the line of command going to Mose, then various other Schrutes. Lowest on the list is of course Mutter, just under Vater.
Giant image of the current chart (a little too big to post directly), which does indeed have Devon's name crossed out with a black X, along with a 4th accountant. It's the emergency chart that has the red X over Andy's name.
Also dig the subtle listing of Dwight as being slightly higher than Jim in the power structure and being labelled "ORIGINAL ASSISTANT REGIONAL MANAGER".
"Intellectual Property of Dwight K Schrute for 1000 years."
Hmmm. Not to question Dwight's awesomeness, but where's Roy? The org chart has X's through former employees, but was updated to reflect Jim's new position, which happened before Roy left.
I wasn't really feeling the episode, but the Dwight stuff was gold. Also, it's interesting to note that Stanley finally said to Michael's face the stuff everyone has been thinking, and it still didn't resonate with Michael.

Normally I don't cheer when watching the Office, but man, I let loose a whoop and a holler when Stanley let it all out on Michael. He had it coming.
He did. But it was also wonderful to see Michael find a bit of a spine and point out that no matter what Stanley may think of him, that Michael is the boss and must be treated with respect.
Dwight using the power of persuasion on Andy was brilliant.

I just about died.
Don't forget the Latin Kings. Haha, that was pretty damn funny.

"Shut your mouth ... " The scene where the old guy kept trying to get a glass of water ("He'd rather die than drink your water!" "No I wouldn't!") was also pretty fantastic ...
