10 Things I Love About Dwight

Ok, so I know I've already done a post about The Office, but truthfully I'm suffering from a strange sort of writer's block, the kind where you don't have to write about anything in particular but you STILL can't figure out what to write about.

10 Things I Love About Dwight

10)  His fashion sense.  Mustard is the new black.

9)  His beet farm.  Frankly, it's encouraging that he and Mose can run a 60-acre beet farm all by themselves, and Dwight can STILL be top salesman at Dunder Mifflin, Inc.

8)  His bobblehead fascination.  Perhaps it's because his head is so abnormally large.

7)  His affinity for strange weapons.  He hides them all around the office.  My personal favorite was the bowstaff hidden under the sofa or the knife hidden in a file labeled "Mr. A. Knife."

6)  His volunteer sheriff's deputy job.  Which I'm pretty sure never existed.

5)  His relationship with Angela.  I laugh so hard every time they talk in the kitchen and don't look at each other.

4)  His rivalry with Andy.  They're two versions of the same person, which makes it utterly hilarious.

3)  His fascination with bears.  If I were to ever go camping at Yellowstone, I would want Dwight about five tents over.  No closer.

2)  His unflinching adoration of Michael Scott.  Possibly the only person who ever looks to Michael as a superior.

1)  His rivalry with Jim.  Probably the best part of the show is when Jim plays pranks on Dwight.  Plus I just love Jim.



I know that was a ginormous waste of time for all who are not fans of The Office, but I think everyone should be a fan of that masterpiece.  Hopefully my relentless chatter about it will convince someone else to love it as much as I do.  

My life goal is to spread cheer to the world, without actually having to be cheerful.

Dwight vs. Andy

This monumentally important question was posed to me during last night's episode of "The Office".  Angela is engaged to Andy but sleeping with Dwight.  Both men have pros and cons to them, and ignoring the moral ambiguity of both Angela and Dwight, I've decided to make a list to decide whose side I'm on.

DWIGHT
Pros:

Can protect Angela in a fight with a bear
Is skilled with a bowstaff
Assistant to the dojo at his karate studio
Drives a Trans Am
Two sources of income:  Dunder Mifflin and Schrute Beet Farms

Cons:

Socially inept
Wears the same color shirt every day
Cousin Mose
Smells like beets


ANDY
Pros:

Went to Cornell . . . ever heard of it?
Trust fund baby
Sings in an a capella group "Here Comes Treble"
Drives a Nissan Xterra
Dresses fancy

Cons:
Cannot protect Angela from a bear attack
Socially inept
Sings in an a capella group "Here Comes Treble"
Anger issues


This is so hard (that's what she said).  Both have their strong points and their negative points.  I suppose I'm going to have to go with Andy because he's just so oblivious, it can be marginally cute sometimes -- while Dwight is just incapable of being cute.
