Urban hangover pants
I've been thinking that drinking all day and night every weekend (and some weekdays) is becoming bad for my health... (I was sick this weekend) which means on Sunday's I should adorn these pants and setup camp in the house (much like my sickly self this weekend). The world might be a better place if these pants were a part of everyones wardrobe, think of all the trees you could save by buying your whole family these pants instead of buying a dining room table (I suppose you'll need guest pants too).

Mircosoft's vision for the future... 2019
Oh man, I can't wait for this. I want this or an old country depression with horses, bartering and gun fights (I think Sarah Palin shared this vision).

5 potential Corwins
Jumping on the 'let's pick on Corwin' bangwagon I have scrounged the internets for whom I think would best portray this so-called Corwin on "The Office."
First of all-
Who said they couldn't be an A-lister?
Sam's the man, kind of a badass, way serious and totally has the sideburns down. (See Karina's post below)
While I'm thinking of Pulp Fiction...
Quentin Tarantino is perfect for that small role, kind of weird (see: Pulp Fiction, Desperado).
Might as well get someone gruffy.
Of course! One of the three Billy Goats Gruff. Weird? Check. Gruff? Yes. Serious? You betcha.
Moving on...
Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. VERY weird. But has a lot of character. Could never be serious.
If those aren't enough to get you into the show, too bad for you.
Finally, we have the one and only, Donald Sutherland
Donald Sutherland might be perfect. He's gruff, serious and doesn't need to talk much. He is automatically superior to Michael and Dwight because he is older and wise (much unlike Creed). Plus, he could totally hang out on the farm.
Make your choice wisely Hollywood!

I Think We're Forgetting a Very Valid Option
While I love Kevin Corrigan (that's my vote from your list Sean),
I think we're all forgetting a very valid option.
Notice that the post says they are *casting* for the role of Corwin. So who better than the man himself? I'd say he fits all the criteria. Please note the following pictures and consider this option. =]
Move to LA, Cor. Be a star.
I do have one backup in case you don't have the acting chops to make it:
Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords
StarSearch, Wizards Style
Ok, I first read this here. I promise there are no Rick Rolls in this post. Read the first post on top. Or if you're getting to this late, it's the post from Feb 2. It quotes something from E! Spoiler Chat (you have to scroll down a ways to find it). Anyway, for those of you who don't click links for fear of RickRoll:
So now the tough question: Who should get to play Corwin? Who do you think would be best at it? I'll start the discussion by posting a few of my thoughts. Please include pictures and an explanation why this person should play him. Remember, must be able to play "kind of weird" and deliver lines in a gruff, serious manner.
1) Keanu Reeves
He was the first person that came to mind for me. But he has to have the longer hair. Acting-wise: Think Neo. Whoa. No emotion. Gruff, serious. The longer hair could make him seem more weird.
2) Pauly Shore
The Office is a comedy, so Pauly would be right at home. Except it's a really good comedy, so maybe he'll be a little out of place. But damn he can play weird. Gruff and serious might be a stretch, but come on, I can definitely see him playing a friend of Dwight's.
3) Rainn Wilson
Who else would Dwight pick as a friend? Come on. If the AT&T spots can have two of the same guy on screen at once (they're not twins, Nicole), then the Office can do it! Plus, he can definitely play weird, and deliver gruff/serious lines yet make them funny.
4)Jason Lee
I can definitely see him playing "kind of weird" and delivering gruff/serious lines. And hell, he's already in one NBC show. Shouldn't be tough to get him in another.
5)Emile Hirsch
He played semi-socially awkward in Girl Next Door, and then someone that can definitely be a Corwin in Into the Wild. And for some reason, I just see it going over really well.
6)Kevin Corrigan
I really only remember him as that weird crazy uncle from Grounded for Life. And I think he also had a role in Superbad. But damn, the looks are pretty spot on. He could definitely play Dwight's friend Corwin.
7) Yao Ming
There's precedent for this. I can see him delivering these lines perfectly. Michael Jordan acted before. So did Shaq. Why can't Yao? He did have that Garmin spot before. His delivery was brilliant.
8) Tay Zonday
Why not?
Ok, I was much more serious about the first 6. Please, comment all you want with your own ideas for who should play Corwin on The Office. Maybe we'll vote, or have a bracket-style contest or something. Maybe something like what AdFreak did with its freakiest ads. We'll see. But please, don't hold back. That's what she said.
By the way, I lied. I'm sorry.
Mel in Columbia, Mo.: I'm so glad they started the Super Bowl ep of The Office with a heavy dose of Dwight. He is awesome. Any scoop on what's to come with our fave lovelorn beet farmer?
I hear The Office is now casting for Corwin, a friend of Dwight's who is "kind of weird." He'll work with Michael and Dwight and deliver a few lines in a gruff, serious manner. We can only hope this means another trip to Schrute Farms!

Too bad this isn't sponsorable... it would probably get some major awareness if Adidas or Puma sponsored the clothes...

Whoa! New Facebook Design!
For all you Facebook book addicts (don't look around, I'm talking to you). Facebook, in its endeavor to stay at the cusp of the digital world and social networking, has developed a redesign. Even as a cynic, I like it.

Listen folks...
Can you WOW members use some photos in your posts? I'm losing it here with all this text on an awful background (seriously... has anyone noticed that there is way too much Sean?).
On to work. Life is really cushy doing this sweet archive project. Basically we are in the basement of Ogilvy basements, cleaning out all the old excess campaign materials. Since Ogilvy has been around a small while, this is no small project BUT my co-workers and I are such awesome kids that we are banging this job out. In fact, we are doing such a good job that they send us home at 3:30 and I get Friday's off (Did I mention I still get paid salary?). Of course this dream will end but it is already priming me with some wonderful wisdom from Chuck, the Minster of the People. Chuck is our direct supervisor and a 38 year Ogilvy Veteran (he even knew Ogilvy (oooh ahhh)). In grandpa like fashion he spews wisdom (advertising and non-advertising).
For example, anybody remember the Rat Pack?
Most everybody recognizes Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sintra but whose this other guy? He's John F. Kennedy's brother-in-law, Peter Lawford. He's responsible for introducing Sinatra to JFK. It was because of Sinatra that Kennedy won Chicago during his election year (which was crucial win). So now JFK and Sinatra become buds and Sinatra is FLOORED by this- so excited that he builds an ENTIRE wing for JFK to come stay at his house. However as Sinatra's mob ties become more apparent to the world JFK decides to stay elsewhere on his visit to CA. What does this do? Completely pisses off Sinatra and he decides that he hates every member of the Kennedy family.
Makes you think, did Sinatra shoot JFK... At any rate, I just wanted to give you a taste of the wonderful stories I hear on a daily basis. And for good measure. The Professor Brothers, JFK. A must watch.
