Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...the office is dark, and eerie events are transpiring...
"Why are the lights-"
"Michael! SHH!! Whisper! Get behind the desk!"
"Okay, what's going on??"
"Look behind the reception desk..."
"WHAT IS THA-"
"SHHH!!!"
"What is that??"
"We don't know! We were in the break room and when we came back, the lights were off."
"Why is Dwight laying on the floor??"
"He went to karate it or something and we heard a 'kalumph!' and he was down."
"We don't know if it attacked Dwight, or if Dwight fainted."
"Either is possible."
"We should turn on the lights!"
"The switch is over there by the door! Are you going to go over there?"
"No way!"
...
...
"So, what do we do?"
"I was planning on crouching here indefinitely.
"Me too."
"Sounds good."

Michael: Okay, let's-
Dwight: This is a meeting long overdue!
Michael: Dwight, why are you here? I didn't call you to this meeting.
Dwight: Oh, you didn't? And, Michael, may I ask why you didn't call me to this meeting? Hm?
Michael: Because I called this meeting to discuss excessive time off and you haven't-
Dwight: I haven't TAKEN TIME OFF! Aha! You bunch of miscreant leeches! Sitting at home, playing your Atari or watching your soaps while I'm here making this company-
Michael: Dwight...
Dwight: -run like a well oiled machine! What do we even need you all-
Michael: DWIGHT!!
...
Michael: So, I thought we'd just take a look at each of your absences this month and get explanations. Now, who had the most...
Pam: I have that information, Michael.
Michael: Okay, Pam. Who had the most unreported absensces this month.
Pam: You.
Michael: I...
Pam: You missed almost twice as many days as Constanza and he has the second most.
George: My grandmother... it's an illness...
Pam: So, Michael, let's start and you can explain each absence. I have the dates.
Michael: Okay, this meeting is over.

Pam: Dwight, what are you-
Dwight: To head off all of your overly inquisitive questions, this is my trophy fish.
Jim: A trophy from where, Dwight?
Dwight: I see you continue to pry. This is not a trophy awarded to me, it is my trophy Atlantic Giant Grey Sea Bass that I caught and had mounted. You'll never see another like it so I am freely sharing this with all of you. I will mount it here and we can all enj-
Phil: Dwight, that's a big plastic fish. You didn't catch that. There's no such thing as an Atlantic Giant Grey Sea Bass.
Dwight: Oh? I assume you are a registered member of the Associated Universal Game Fish Compendium?
Jim: The AUGFC.
Dwight: You've heard of it?
Jim: No.
Pam: Dwight, there's no room for your big plastic fish!
Dwight: It is not a... Oh, you all make me so angry with your consistently cra-
Phil: How'd you even get that here? That fit in your Trans Am?
Dwight: I strapped it to the roof.
Jim: Now, see, it would have been more fun to watch that than you lugging the big plastic fish in here.

"Alright, everyone! Thank you for joining, I know this team meeting was impromptu. And you're probably all wondering why I'm standing up here on the receptionist counter."
...
...
"Isn't anyone wondering why I'm standing up here on the receptionist counter?"
"Okay, Michael... *ahem*... Why are you standing up there on the receptionist counter?"
"That's the wrong question, Jim! The question you should be asking is, 'Why is Mr. Scott standing up there on the receptionist counter alone?' Do you get where I'm going?"
"No."
"I do! I see it!"
"Okay, Dwight, go ahead."
"You are expecting us to join you on the receptionist counter to demonstrate that we're always together as a team! No matter the circumstance, whether it be researching the latest market trends to stay ahead or, just, standing on the receptionist counter, it's always done TOGETHER!"
"Dwight... no. That's not it at all. I don't think this counter would even hold all of us. That's a ridiculous idea. The counter would break and then we'd have a mess to clean up and rep-"
"Mr. Scott?"
"Yes, Pam."
"So, please tell us. What is the purpose of you standing on my counter."
"Well, I don't know that I would call it your counter. I mean, it is your workstation but obviously it belongs to Dunder Mifflin. But, anyway! Yes! I am standing up here on the receptionist counter to show my leadership! You see we're all together in this room... but I'm also apart, high and above, in my position as manager. It is to remind us of the organizational aspect of authority."
"Michael, please get off my counter. I have work to do."

"I certainly appreciate you coming in... should I call you Mr. Cyborg?"
"My name is Victor Stone. That's not a secret."
"So I can call you Victor? Or Vic?"
"You can call me Mr. Stone, and why did you call me here to this office?"
"Oh, right! I know you're a super-hero in the Justice League and, listen, you're doing great work. And, I just want to support you. Monetarily."
"Hey, we have charities that we recommend. I can give you a list. We don't accept cash ourselves so-"
"Exactly! You can't accept cash, I understand, conflict of interest and such. So, I'll give you cash and it won't be a donation. You can... do something."
"And what exactly are you wanting me to do?"
"I'll cut to the chase, it is tax season, and it's very difficult to find loopholes now but, with you being a computer and all, I figured-"
"I'm a cyborg and you want me to do your taxes!?"
"I want to give you money. And it can be a lot. And then, incidentally, you can do our taxes."
"Before I get to how ridiculous this is, don't you have an accountant??"
"We do... we did but there was... an incident."
"Look, I'm busy with the Justice League, there's a war going on** but even if there wasn't, I wouldn't be doing your taxes!"
"I understand. What if-"
"Man, I'm outta here. I've got better things to do, like hang out at Seinfeld's." ***

"What is it, Pam? You needed to see me?"
"Michael, we haven't-"
"Mr. Scott. When we're in the office."
"... When we're 'in the office'? We never see each other outside of the office. And the last time I called you 'Mr. Scott' you told me to call you Michael."
"I don't... right, okay, Michael is fine."
"So I just got this email from DeFlores and they said they're waiting on the signed POs. You said you signed them and sent them?"

"Whether it happened??"
"Whether I signed the papers. In fact, I think... well, I'm not sure."
"Michael, we've already broken two deadlines on this order. All that's needed is your signature. Just sign them and everything else is done. Is there a reason you haven't signed them?"

"The vagaries of... unforeseen..."
"Michael, happenstance is vagaries. Look, if you just go to your office and sign the POs right now, all this will be done. And I can bring other things to your attention that you're behind on."
"In my office, I would sign on the... verification..."
"The digital signature pad. You'd sign the digital signature pad. ... ... Do you know how to use the digital signature pad?"
"I can do it, Michael!"
"Dwight, Michael has to sign because he's the manager."
"Right, I'll sign it. Just come and we'll hook it... and..."

Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin... George is applying for a job.*
"Hello, Eddie. I'm Michael Scott, the Regional Manager for Dunder Mifflin. Thank you for coming in."
"Well, thank you for seeing me. My name is not Eddie. It's George. George Constanza."
"Oh. We may need to reschedule."
"Reschedule?? Mr. Scott, I took time out of my day to come here, and had to wait out there for a good while. Your receptionist is really nice,** but still, I don't see why mistaking my name would cause us to reschedule."
"... Ha! Ha. Yes... Ha! It was a joke... that's right. 'Eddie'. HA! Just to see how you would... react. An interview test. You passed!"
"Oh... well, good. Okay."
"So... George. Do you have a question for me? This could be another test."
"Ah... Why don't you have a chair in your office for guests?"
"Because I don't like people hanging around. Okay, my turn. What makes you think that you're Dunder Mifflin material?"
"Well... Mr. Scott... or should I call you Michael? Or Mike?"
"No, you should call me Mr. Scott."
"Right. Mr. Scott, the thing is, I want to be perfectly honest with you here, I really need a job. You now, I'm a go-getter. Once I reorganized an entire file. Maybe you heard of it, the Penske file?"
"No... no, I haven't."
"Well, be that as it may, I want you to know I'm malleable."
"Malleable?"
"You asked about Dundler Mifflin material and I-"
"Dunder."
"-think... Dunder?"
"It's Dunder Mifflin, not Dundler."
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry. So, for Dunder Mifflin material, I'm malleable. I can take the form of any material. Whatever the Dundler... Dunder! Whatever the Dunder Mifflin material is, I can become that material. I'm like Metamorpho!"
"Metamorpho?"
"The... ah, the comic book hero? He can change?"
"I'm not... I'm not familiar with that."
"Well, never mind all that! That's just me rambling. What I'm trying to assure you, is that whatever the material is that you and Dunder Mifflin need, I'm that material."
"Interesting. Okay, your turn."
"Oh... for a question? Um... why is that guy who yelled at me staring at us through the glass?"
"What? Oh, for... *sigh* DWIGHT! Get away from the window! Dwight! DWIGHT! Don't make me come out there!"

Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...
"Okay, I think you will find today's team meeting especially-"
"Michael, why do you have giant foam hands on my desk?"
"Pam... if you'll let me finish. Now, as Pam said, you see, high and above us, these giant hands. For minillia, we have looked to giants as-"
"Did you mean millennia?"
"Jim... what?"
"You said 'minillia', which is vaguely like the name of Godzilla's son. But though the 'giant hands' could mean you're about to go off on some kaiju tangent, I'm guessing you meant millennia."
"..."
"Meaning thousands of years."
"Right! I'm sure that's what I said. So-"
"No it wasn't."
"-continuing on, for miln... for thousands of years we have looked to giants as great beings with great power and intellect to provide for us and assist us in-"
"Are giants generally regarded as highly intelligent?"
"George, please! I'm trying to-"
"Not the English giants. They just say, 'fee-fi-fo-fum'... but they apparently have a great sense of smell."
"Everyone! Please. Are you looking to the hands? Right now? Are you?"
"Well, they're hard to miss."
"The point is that these are... wait for it... 'THE HANDS THAT CAN.'"
"... The hands that can what?"
"Exactly, Darryl! The hands that can... what?? Well, let me answer. These are the hands that can help you when you have a problem. These are the hands that can support you when you feel down. These are the hands that can comfort you when work is going bad."
"..."
"And do you know whose hands these are?"
"They're YOUR hands, Mr. Scott!"
"Right, Dwight! Perfect! So every day when you look at these giant, strong, powerful, intelligent hands, I want you to think of me because I'm here to help you. And also because I'm a giant."
"When we look at them every day? How long are those hands going to stay on my desk??"
"Pam, one step at a time."

"Well, I mean I guess we could come to one, but you're not really selling it. What do you think, Pam?"
"What was the last movie you watched?"

"Already! Hah!"
"Yep, I think he's getting a good feel for the place."

"It's always the same! I'm saying we have got THE WORST manager. Period. Scott don't know up from down, he causes the most ridiculous problems, and they let him keep his job!"
"Man, you've just got to let it go. Just roll with it. I don't let all the craziness here bother me any more. I do my job... kind of... and get my paycheck."
"But don't you want more out a career?"
"Well, Darryl, if I do, I know I'm not going to get it here. So, if that urge ever strikes me hard enough, I'll go find something else. Otherwise, I'm good."
"And since we're talking this way, I'm sure it will get back to Scott because someone will tell him, meaning WE SEE YOU SCHRUTE!"
"I wasn't hiding. You're in my chair. That's my desk."
"I know that, man, I was just talking to Jim!"
"Go back to the warehouse. Fix your forklift."

Happy St. Patricks Day! Both are available at our Group Gift counter at our Mainstore.
Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...
"George, you're new here at Dunder Mifflin so we can overlook some things for a time. Sort of a honeymoon period. But we can't condone you throwing paper cups full of water at someone by the water cooler."
"Mr. Scott, it was Dwight who-"
"Michael. You can call me Michael, George. I'm a friend to my employees."
"You told me yesterday to call you Mr. Scott."
"Well, George, it's Wednesday. Go ahead."
"Right... Dwight here intentionally shoulder bumped me as he walked by. Pretty hard, too! He's had it in for me since I started. Just today he gave me the evil eye, then the stink eye!"
"The stink eye?"
"It's a variation on the evil eye."
"Got it. Dwight, did you shoulder bump George intentionally at the water cooler?"
"Of course. Shoulder bumping is a demonstration of camaraderie here at Dunder Mifflin. I wanted George to feel welcome."
"It was a STRONG shoulder bump!"
"We have a strong camaraderie."
"George, are you opposed to camaraderie? Are you a loner?"
"WHAT!? This wasn't about camaraderie! This guy just doesn't like me! What about all the eyes??"
"Dwight, did you give George an evil eye or... what was it?"
"Stink eye! And he gave it to me three or four times!"
"Or did you give George a stink eye?"
"I... looked at him. I'm not sure what he's reading into it."
*sigh* "George, it sounds like a misunderstanding."
"A misunderstanding!? This guy all but tackled me out there! My shoulder is still sore!"
"But, even with a misunderstanding George, we can't have you throwing water at your fellow employees. It's not conducive to a healthy work environment."
"So Dwight can just go around-"
"George, I want you to think about what Dwight was saying about camaraderie. Dunder Mifflin works better when we work better together."
"That's good, Michael."
"Thank you, Dwight, it just came to me."

"-so I thought we could print double-sided for the daily QR reports and that alone would save a ton of paper. I mean, even though we are a paper company we can still be environmentally conscious."
"Wow, Pam, that's exactly the way I think. I'm very big into environmental. Very big. I saved a whale one time."
"Oh, wow! A whale."
George thinking: "No laugh track!** I can't tell what's going on! Is she liking my angle? Maybe I should throw in something about Greenpeace. Why does she have to be one of those environuts? It's always so difficult to come up with something for that. I wonder if she's into architecture..."

Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...
"Okay, everyone. Since George is our new hire,* I was going to have this meeting just with him, but I thought the entire team could benefit."
"Is that giant Prison Mike screen the 'Trade Show Display' line item you wouldn't explain on the budget?"
"Darryl, as I did explain, it is a motivational tool for the company."
"You said it was for trade shows."
"And we can use it at trade shows."
"You're going to stick that giant Prison Mike at our trade show booth??"
"Pam, I think we're getting off topic and if you all will let me continue, I think we'll see that this exhibit was money well spent."
"The forklift needs repair! You said that money went to the trade show, which just turns out to be YOU with a purple bandana on your head!"
"Darryl! I have to make decisions that are best for the company, and you will see why this is so effective if you let me continue. Now, George, the office space can be a welcome gathering of friends, or like a prison yard. George, do you want to work in a prison yard?"
"... ... ... No?"
"That's right. None of us do. And why is that?"
"Well, I guess-"
"George, don't guess. I'll explain. Or, rather, let me introduce you to someone who has experienced the terror of prison. Let me introduce you to... Prison Mike."
"I was clocked out for my lunch break. Is my lunch break gone or can I eat after Prison Mike is done?"
"*ahem*! Yo, yo, like yo! I be Prison Mike! Yo, like did you stole my pencil sharpener, yo?? It was on my desk! Yo, I'll sharpen a pencil and SHANK you with it, yo!"
"..."
"George, is that kind of animalistic violence what you want to see here at the office?"
"... No??"
"That's right. Take it from Prison Mike, George. He's seen the inside. Here, we share our pencil sharpeners. Capiche?"
"Um, yes! Yes, understood. Capiched." What have I gotten myself into? This office is crazy! This guy's a clown!

"Well, do you think he'll be out soon? If so, we could wait. And, I could get to know you...?"
"In front of your girlfriend?"
"I'm not his girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend."
"Oh, okay, I'm sorry. I just assumed since you were together. Like I'm always around my boyfriend, the tall, fit looking fellow sitting at the desk right there, staring at you."
"He certainly is..."
...
...
"Wow, you guys really don't have a laugh track!"
"Jerry's lost without his laugh track."
"No idea what you guys are talking about, but, anyway, Mr. Scott currently has us on an 'Indigenous Repast' program."
"What was that?"
"It's something he read somewhere that he thinks is a good team-builder for the office. We all eat together here in the office with indigenous dishes."
"Indigenous dishes? We're in Paprihaven. There's nothing indigenous here."
"I know. So we bring whatever. In fact you are welcome to go grab something and join-"
"No, thank you, we really have to go!"

When you're the boss and you walk in and find all the employees huddled together whispering...
...whzswiwizshwziwshwi...
Okay, what are they whispering about? Me? I have to accept that I'm the center of their lives.
...whzswiwizshwziwshwi...
But, are they plotting against me? It is the nature of the common folk to rebel against the leaders.
...whzswiwizshwziwshwi...
But I'm pretty sure I'm beloved by them. So why would they have a whisper meeting and exclude me if it wasn't about me...
...whzswiwizshwziwshwi...
Ah... ahaha.... a surprise party! They're planning a surprise party for me! Those rascals! Wow, do they love me!

Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...
"Oh, hey, George! I didn't think anyone else was still here. Working late, I like that."
Oh, man! Why did I come back for my stupid notepad? I won't need it tonight! I don't even take notes! Now I'm standing here alone with Mr. Scott! He's so weird.
"Oh... sure, well, you know, Mr. Scott, just trying to... do what we do."
"Hey, it's after five, you can call me Michael now George! Once the whistle blows we're just two guys about to head out on the town."
On the town?? Two guys on the town? There is NO WAY I'm seen out on the town with this nutcase!
"On the town? Right, yeah, I was headed over to my friend's apartment actually. He's, uh, well, you may have seen him, he's a comedian. Jerry Seinfeld."
"What!? Really? Jerry Seinfeld is your friend? I love his comedy! I saw him on TV!"
Stupid! Why did I mention Jerry? Now how do I end this conversation and get OUT OF HERE.
"Yeah, sure, Mr... I mean, Michael. Well, I need to get over there because we're scheduled to... um... play a game."
"Oh? What game?"
"... ... Parcheesi?"
"No way! I haven't played parcheesi in forever! You know what, George, I'm going to change all my plans right now and come with you! I'll get to meet Jerry and it'll be three guys kicked back with beer and parcheesi!"
Change your plans?? You didn't have any plans! You're a loser and no one wants to be around you!
"Oh... Um, isn't parcheesi a two person game?"
"Nope, I'm pretty sure up to four people can play."
Who is this guy, Milton Bradley??
"Oh! Well... in that case... but I remem-"
"Oh, hey! HAHA! You know what I just thought of?"
"ber... No, what did you think of?"
"Us two out on the town... Michael... and George... GEORGE MICHAEL?? Isn't that cool?? Hey, we can call ourselves WHAM!"
"Right. Wham..."
"Well, let's head out, Whammo! We can talk about my giant hands illustration on the way!"*
How did this happen? Jerry's going to kill me. He's probably never seen a parcheesi game. WHY DID I COME BACK FOR THAT STUPID NOTEPAD!??

"ParCHEESI??"
...laughter...
"Yes, Jerry, PARCHEESI! I told Mr. Scott here... er, Michael, my boss, that you and I were playing Parcheesi tonight!"*
"George..."
"Jerry, it's great to meet you. I told George I was a fan so when he invited me over I couldn't say no!"
"How nice of George..."
...laughter...
"But, Jerry, if you can't play Parcheesi tonight, we understand... and can do something different."
"I don't understand, why wouldn't you guys be able to play Parcheesi?"
"Well, ah, my board is in the shop."
...laughter...
"In the shop??"
"Right. At our last game, George was a bit below par and... you know... broke one of the cheesis."
...laughter...
"I don't understand."
"Neither do I. Not at all. Perhaps George can explain."
...laughter...
"Wait, I do have a question."
"Sure, Michael, what's up?"
"Where is that laughter coming from?"
"Ah, right, right, right, George said you guys don't have a live audience at Dunder Mifflin. Or even a laugh track."
"A laugh track??"
"I told you."
...laughter...
"Welcome to the big leagues, Mikey boy! Well, since Parcheesi is out of the question and, just for reference, will remain out of the question for all future visits..."
...laughter...
"...would you like to have a Snapple? I'd be absolutely fascinated to pick the brain of someone who can actually put up with George as an employee."
...laughter...
"Hm. Well, no, I think I'll be going."
"What? Really? Because we're not playing Parcheesi?"
"It's a great game. I mean, as you would know, since you play it all the time."
...laughter...
"Right! Well, wow, I'm sorry? Maybe George can set up something for us in the future, not at my apartment, and perhaps when I'm busy."
...laughter...
"That sounds good. Well, thank you Jerry and it was really great to meet you. Could I get you to autograph something?"
Oh... sure! What do you have?"
"Nothing. Do you have something?"
...laughter...
"Sure... let me grab a notepad. Should I make it out to you?"
"Only if it's a check. HA! HAHA!!"
"Oh, haha... right..."

"Oh! Well, thanks Michael but I was just going in this building right here."
"But, I just came out of that building.* It would be a shame to meet in such memorable circumstances... and then just go opposite ways..."
"That's... that may be true, Michael. Where would your cab be headed, by the way?"
"A fine restaurant with a table for two. So, you know, Elaine, if you don't come with me I'm going to look pretty ridiculous sitting at a table for two by myself."
"You are an interesting fellow, Michael. Yes, a table for two sounds fine."

Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...
"Hey, Michael, you wanted to see me?"
"Hello, Jim, I actually wanted to see George. But he's not in for some reason."
"It's Tuesday. That's his sick day."
"He gets sick every Tuesday?"
"As far as you know."
"Right. Okay, I was going to talk with George and... Jim, you don't mind a little 'man talk' do you?"
"I'm a man. It's pretty much the only talk I'm capable of."
"Right. So, since George isn't here, I thought I'd run this past you. Now, again, I'm not Mr. Scott, your manager, right now. I'm Michael your bud. Your compadre. Pretend this isn't my office and we're just hanging out at your place. Or my place. No authori-"
"Got it, Michael. Informal conversation."
"Right. So, I've met this girl. Elaine.* I met her through George, actually. Kind of indirectly. George invited me over to play Parcheesi with the comedian, Jerry Seinfeld.** Do you know who he is?"
"Sure. I've seen him on Channel 35.*** So, did George or Jerry introduce you to Elaine?"
"Neither, but she knows them. You see I was leaving Jerry's apartment -"
"After you all played Parcheesi."
"-when... No, we didn't actually play. That was disappointing. Jerry said his board was being repaired.**** But when I left his building I bumped into Elaine. Literally, I bumped into her. And we got to talking and went out to eat. And we're going to see each other again."
"Okay... cool, Michael. That sounds great. I hope you and Elaine hit it off."
"Well... you didn't ask me about her. Like, if she's drop-dead gorgeous."
"... Is Elaine drop-dead gorgeous, Michael?"
"Oh, yes. Oh, man, yes. Wow. Just, I can't get her off my mind. Everything about her. Her figure. Her face. Her voice."
"Okay, good. Are there any other questions about Elaine I should ask?"
"Well, there's a LOT to her, Jim, but the drop-dead gorgeous part is of course primary."
"Right, that's definitely how you judge women."
"So, I was thinking, you know in our bawdy man talk... Oh! Instead of your place or my place, pretend like we're in a locker room! That sets the tone better."
"Yeah, I really need to-"
"So, there, Jim, if I were to need any pointers about proceeding, tell me about your intimate times Pam. Spare no detail and-"
"Michael?"
"Yes, Jim?"
"I'm going back to my desk."

Well, Michael Scott's (Steve Carrel) last episode on The Office was last night and I thought I would make his office to commemorate his leaving. To bad I forgot to build the table for the bottom left hand corner :|
Bloomsday 16 June 1954, has been illustrated before by the Wiltshire Collection, but this shot was taken indoors with two named personalities. The significance of Con Leventhal and Michael Scott escapes me. But I am sure the many Joyce scholars out there can enlighten me...
The general consensus is that this image captures Abraham "Con" Levanthal (academic and literary critic), Michael John Scott (architect and one-time Abbey actor) and Patricia Scott (TCD grad and wife of Scott). All of whom would have been very familiar with Joyce's works and the art world in Dublin in general....
Photographer: Elinor Wiltshire

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts...
Elaine: George, what is this?? Michael asked me to join him today for an 'amazing outing',* but this looks like a company event?
George: Michael thought that Dunder Mifflin had lost its magic, so he first put on a magic show in the conference room... which basically consisted of him abusing a rabbit for ten minutes... and then, when he couldn't get that to work, he brought us here.
Michael: So, Tom is it?
Tom Riddle: Yes...
Michael: I appreciate the tour!
Tom: We did not offer any-
Michael: You know, I do a bit of magic myself.
Tom: ... ... Really.
Michael: I mean, I may not be as smooth as you are but I can pull the old rabbit out of the hat. Usually.
Tom: A rabbit from a hat...
Pam: This place gives me the creeps.
Jim: Yep. That's why we're staying here close to the door.
Dwight: There's no such thing as magic! There is advanced alchemy which the uninitiated will perceive as magic, but-
Michael: Dwight, shut up. So, what do you have? Some demonstrations? Card tricks?
Tom: How about I start by devouring your soul?
Michael: That... would be a start.
Jim: Time to leave.
Pam: Right behind you.

KOREATOWN - First arriving members of the Los Angeles Fire Department made quick work of extinguishing a compact pickup truck ablaze in the rear of a first floor parking garage of a 13,000 square foot four-story apartment building at 207 North Kenmore Avenue on April 26, 2023. The non-injury fire of undetermined origin was confined to the rearmost and interior portions of a 2004 Nissan Frontier pickup, and prevented from damaging any structural elements of the 17 unit apartment building.

This is the main concourse of Dublin's central bus station, designed in the International Modern style by Michael Scott and constructed 1947-1953. An L-shaped office building sits on top of it, rising a further six stories at its highest point. Uncompromisingly 'modern', I reckon the bus station's design shows the influence of the so-called 'Festival of Britain' style too, as exemplified by the contemporary Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank.
For those who like this kind of architecture, Busáras has significant appeal on account of its scale and the well-preserved condition of its original period features. Most notable of these is the projecting reinforced concrete corrugated canopy, reminiscent of a shell; you can just about see its wavy shape through the top of the tall windows in the photograph. Busáras claims to be the first post-war large office block in the British Isles, and won for Scott the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland Triennial Gold Medal for the most outstanding building completed in Ireland between 1953 and 1955.
