Top 20 Dwight Schrute Quotes

Dwight Schrute

Before getting to the Top 20 Dwight Schrute Quotes, let me start by sharing what got me on this list creation:

Last night I picked up a replacement iPhone 3G. I decided after swimming with my old one (and drowning it) that I could live without the iPhone 3G S for a year and didn’t want to extend my contract with AT&T (who I loathe).

Anyway . . . (I tend to ramble a bit before getting into the subject of my post) . . . I decided to put a custom ringtone on so I could pick up calls from Camille while I’m at work. I start thinking I don’t want a song, I want something funny. A good movie clip. My first thought goes to Fletch, which has more quotable lines than any movie I can think of (hey, I think I’ll go buy Fletch on iTunes now that I’m thinking of all those funny lines . . . . bought!).

Now, for the point of this post:
My next thought is the Office and Rainn Welson’s character Dwight Schrute. He has more quotable lines than any TV Show I can think of right now. The first one that comes to mind is where he’s talking about the problem with women and that they have weak arms. Hahahahahaahahahahahah!

Ok, so without further ado, here’s the Top 20 Dwight Schrute Quotes:

  1. When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.
  2. I am faster than 80% of all snakes.
  3. I don’t care what Jim says, that is not Benjamin Franklin. I am 99% sure.

ProFlowers Review: Scam, Ripoff, Fraud, Complaint - EasySaver Rewards

I thought ProFlowers was a good company. The shipping was fast, the flowers looked pretty decent (not as good as their photos).

I was wrong. They have either partnered or are part of the company EasySaver Rewards. In purchasing flowers through ProFlowers they automatically (without telling you) sign you up for a membership account with Easy Saver Rewards. The only benefit is they get to automatically ding your credit card $14.95 a month.

Favorite Sesame Street Clips

February 24th, 2009 Posted in Raves | No Comments »

sesame-street-videosOk, so my sister Amy sends me this old Sesame Street clip yesterday of The Alligator King and it brought back a flood of memories — man that was a good show to grow up with. It’s amazing the difference between modern kids shows on Nickelodean and Cartoon Network like SpongeBob, Ren and Stimpy and Ed, Edd n Eddy (no wonder kids need Riddlin) compared to the slower paced shows that are still on PBS today.

Here’s some of my favorite classic Sesame Street videos . . .

My Next Car Will Be An Airplane

My Next Car

I’ve been commuting to Salt Lake City. After two years, I can now say that I’m “used” to it. That being said, I hate thinking about the loss of personal time given up while being confined for three hours a day. Worse, the thought that I’ve virtually circled the earth three times in the last two years (75,000 miles on my Honda Element) and yet I haven’t seen anything but the same stretch of road day in and day out (although Sardine Canyon is quite scenic and makes the drive bearable).

Today, my boss sends me my traffic solution:

Transition Car/Plane - This thing is a car with fold out wings.

As a car:
- 65 MPH
- 30 MPG

As a plane:
- 115 MPH!!!!
- 23 MPG!!!

Tip Jars

Tip Me, Please!

It seems that you can’t go anywhere without seeing a tip jar these days. My favorite is the local hot dog stand where they grab a bun, throw your hot dog on it, and then you’re supposed to go put your own condiments on. Now that guy deserves a tip!

Or the credit card slips that always have a line on it for a tip, regardless of whether or not the business provides any tip-worthy-service.
