While on the hunt for a dry-erase board this morning at the Burbank offices of NBC News, we walked into this conference room and found part of the wall painted with that neat dry-erase board paint. (At least, we hope it is!)
We would like this for our office at home, too.

Love this paint... have it all over our conference rooms at iMove Chicago so we can post all of the apartments for rent in Chicago
You're in BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN BURBANK?
Did you run across any Fickle Fingers of Fate in an old supply closet? Perhaps a great big (fading maybe) colorful wall, with little doors at all heights, that you could open and stick your head out of?
Anyone (Rachel?) overcome with a mad urge to dance in a bikini with fake tattoos while saying "Sock-it-to-me sock-it-to-me"?
ProducerGuy1 taking to riding around on a tricycle in a raincoat, while muttering and mumbling, until he tips over?
Julie Nutter sitting on park benches and whacking dirty old men over the head with her purse?
All I have to say is, y'all need to "Say goodnight, Dick" and get back here to the greatest city on Earth!
Boy are you old! (Thanks for the mammories. . .)
Maybe if she's lucky she'll run into Mrs. Drysdale, one can only hope.
Screw Mrs. Drysdale. I'd like to run into Miss Jane Hathaway. Or Hugh Grant. I think they're the same person, or twins separated at birth. Has anyone ever seen them in the same room at the same time?
Yeah Hathaway. She was nerdy hot.
Totally worked for me.
Well that was a weird dream- making another odd connection with Hugh Grant. Something in me never understood why gals like her would fall for guys like Jethro. I suppose it is the flip question of why men go for Ellie Mae or Ginger. So my dream revolved around a time I lived in LA- with hair half way down my back. If a smart lady with Hathaway's outwardly repressed demeanor drove buy in Hollywierd and expressed an interest as Hugh Grant did in oral interaction, well. At that time I was a bit of a slut about this sort of thing and I'd want nothing for myself.
I always have admired the egregiously under appreciated women like the character that Nancy Kulp played. If they wanted me to be their surfer slave boy I was only too happy to negotiate the rocks of their prudery.
Sure sure. In my dreams.
Nancy Kulp = Comedic Genius.
Her whole portrayal of Jethro-lust was just one hilarious side of it.
For Hugh Grant, it is best to imagine him as the prudish Episcopal minister discussing nudity in art in the film Sirens. I think he chose to play that role as Nancy Kulp might have done it. Hilarity that ensues, along with a great deal of delicious nudity.
There's just so much to like in that movie... Am I dating myself again? At least no obscure Laugh-In references this time.
I have a good friend from grad school who unintentionally does the BEST Nancy Kulp imitation.
The board is as blank as the presidents leadership.
Oooooh... cool simile. How about???...
Romney's integrity
Ryan's math skills
Boehner's competence
Norquist's patriotism
Scott Brown's campaign strategy
Can I get a witness?
You must be supporting Obama becuase you got your bail out money.
Wow, trolls angry and nonsensical so early in the morning...awwww. Hugs?
Can't retort with anything meaningful. So , just lash out.
Oh, that was your method of operation. Troll on...
Thank you. It is easy to get the less
intelligent to act.
Cooler are those boards like at stanford lecture halls, that are stacked deep and you can push them up for a fresh one like a sash window.
Electronic ones are much more versatile though. Besides a notepad, you are able to do anything you could on a web browser- like someone challenges whether a proposed guest would be a decent speaker so you tap a Youtube of one of their interviews and you can say, "Look- you are high- this person will be hot".
Besides that, it means your meeting can be virtual, with attendees in different continents and you have a record of the progress of the note generation that may be played back along with the audio. If people in the back can't read your writing or people are blocking the view they can zoom in on it from their tablets.
But- I like this one the best.
No more dried up marking pens.
RM, Combing your last few reports....paint and polling...or, in Massachusetts, aka warpaint and vertical totem polling. Gov Romney and Sen Brown have recent debate/polling parallel, similar experiences. Both slightly down, both performed untruths and attacks during a debate, and both got a positive bump in polls immediately afterward. In Massachusetts, might be an old Native American misdirection ploy, we'll see.
However, U.S. Calvary General Custer, Gov Romney, and Sen Brown have all experienced an unusually high level of overconfidence, at times. Could lead to getting outflanked, just sayin'. Both Romney and Brown will need more than a Little Big Horn to perform a victory dance.
But for now, this week, a Massachusetts debate prediction: Brown stays on offense, keeping the attacks moving forward....questioning the professor's legislative capacity. Brown expected to inquire "How?", of Warren. Following debate, Warren gathers her staff for pow-wow. They decide to mesh the senator's attacks into an exciting, catchy, "gotcha" campaign slogan..."HOW!". Joining in, storied Boston Globe prints Op-Ed..."How Now Brown Cow". Throughout the state, even the New England foliage turns a new leaf...giving Warren a second look. Strong vocal support...Van Morrison "Meet Me In The Indian Summer"...Procol Harum "A Whiter Shade Of Pale"...Aerosmith "Nine Lives" and much more.
Strongest support coming from an old, trusted Native Indian tribal doctor/faith healer/soothsayer...conjures up the spirits across the night sky. A vision for the future...of swearing-in day, for the new Dem U.S. Senator. Appropriately, to be presided over by a fellow Harvard professor, Lawrence Tribe! Bible, hand up...Tribe "Repeat after me...'How'". Soon-to-be Senator Warren "HOW!"
Morale of the story: If the quick, brown fox jumps over the teepee, will get scalped by the sly Native Indian professor, turned Senator. END. All above fictional. Any similarity to real person(s), place(s), and/or event(s) are coincidental. Not responsible for errors. Looking forward to great campaign/debate coverage this week.
would we reeeeally like this at 30 Rock, Julia? Seems to me if we have a bigger board, we have to do a longer show.
hehe. Fine with me. Do a long form one on Saturday or Sunday after MHP. Give Rachel a day off on Fridays, and all other producers on select days of the workweek.
More Jobs, More TRMS.
it's good for the economy, good for the nation.

Now if they combined this paint with a scratch and sniff paint--you could smell the writing on the wall!!!
(sometimes I just can't help myself )
Dry erase board paint is what they use to get Romney whiter than white. Good for swift and convenient erasibility of the candidate's statements. Really- we are seeing a deliberate strategy, because the candidate can make a strong impression to the 60 million people watching, then immediately after the "misstatement" is corrected (which 60 million people do not hear). Take the "misstatement" that half the green investments when bankrupt. Does anyone really think that this was not a pre planned line which would be "corrected" afterward.
Dry erase board paint is a metaphor not just for candidates, but the world we paint our cognitive models on.
Great line from the Louis Black show the other night, I wish I could remember how he said it. It was about how Mitt Romney was they WHITEST presidential candidate ever. He said he used to think George W. Bush was the whitest candidate, but that Romney makes W. look positively Jamaican!
There is also Dry erase wall paper....very cool to hang on doors.
