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 Wilson’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.

Ok, 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 . . .

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!!!

I never thought I’d stay in Utah after coming to go to school. I thought for sure I’d end up back in California or coastal state. Nonetheless, it’s really grown on me.

A big reason for that is the natural beauty, which is why Utah is the capital of National Parks (with a record five). I’ve been to Bryce, Arches, Capital Reef and Canyonlands, but in my mind, Zions tops the list.

“If I were creating the world I wouldn’t mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers. Eight o’clock. Day One.” ~ Time Bandits, 1981

Is there anything cooler than a hand-held laser beam that:

• has a range of >100 miles;
• can melt rubber;
• will ignite things;
• and can cauterize wounds?

I submit that there is not!

I find it very strange when girls struggle with finding gifts for guys. Honestly, you walk into any hardware or technology store and grab anything that the guy doesn’t have and he’s going to like it. If it is run by electricity or gas . . . bonus.
