POWER

"Knowledge is power."  - Frances Bacon

"Information is power."  - Dwight Schrute

"Power is power." - Dwight Schrute

When I was a little boy (age 11), my Uncle Grit, took
me out back to the stand of maples by Schrood creek.
He brought his binoculars (Zeiss Victory 8x42 T FL)
and shook them tenderly out of their case.  He put his
hand on my shoulder and the binocs to my little round
eyes.  He then showed me, high up on a branch, a
strange doll with a noose around it's neck, hanging
from an upper branch.

"What is that, Uncle Grit?"

"That, 'D-cup' (for that is what he called me), is a
Harry S. Truman doll.  It was hung there in protest
effigy by myself and seven of my brothers in 1948.  We
we're huge 'Dewey' fans and felt Truman was a traitor
to the cause. We hung it in a place where only us
Schrutes knew of it, so we wouldn't get arrested or
anything.  This is a Schrute secret.  And as you are
now a man, I am letting you know."

I knew at that point that I had become a Schrute.  I
had become a man.

Cut to:  a nuclear explosion off the coast of
Scotland.

Just kidding.

Cut to:  5 years later.

I am showing little Johnny Hecht around the property.
He has entered the family through marriage (Cousin
Helga and Hank Hecht who managed the ice rink).  

I have a crossroads in front of me.  Two roads
diverged in the yellow snow.  And I took the one less
traveled on.

I told little Johnny about the Truman effigy.

Why?  Why, do you ask?  Why did you betray your Uncle
Grit by telling a non-Schrute about the doll?

Simple.  Power.

I told little Johnny about the doll and told him that
he was now the recipient of privileged information
that could get him killed or worse if it ever got out.

Johnny gasped and swore his allegiance to me for all
time.

Little Johnny was now mine.  I controlled him.  Like a
pawn in my own private game of Schrute chess.  Like a
golem from Yiddish lore.

That, my friends and readers, is how one uses
powerfully uses  power to gain power.

Lesson learned?  Don't "F" with a Schrute.

That is All.

Dwight K. Schrute

Post Script.  Where is Johnny now you ask? Serving
with honor in the Coast Guard off the coast of Naples,
Florida.  The exact same Coast Guard featured in the
hit movie "The Guardian" starring Ashton Kutcher.

"Power is power." I am unworthy, and rather inspired. Happy Thursday.

its funny how a lot of people misspell your last name when its written on the post

dwight your power is too great for this world
i think it all needs to be kept in a box and not released until this world is ready for the REALL SCHRUTE
;]

Dwight, does Hank manage the Ice Box by any chance?

bold sucks. that is all.

"Dwight", I am a 53 y/o physician and have nothing clever to add except that I think the writing and the acting on your show is genius. It's right up there with "All in the Family". I thank you and all the other folks involved for giving people like me a reason to watch TV again. An ardent fan.

To Mr. Ben Silverman:

Dear Mr. Silverman:

I had recently written you per the above for consideration for this position under the WGAw's Writers Training Program.

I totally love your show, and had mentioned in my letter my long experience working in offices of all stripes. I'm thinking what if Michael proposed an audit of the whole office, just because he misinterpreted some letter he got from the IRS or his insurance company. If would be controlled by Dwight of course, with resistance from Oscar and Kevin.

I greatly appreciate your consideration, and look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Alexander C Totz

Wassup Dwight!!!!!! It's MItchell and Tiff and Mark. Well, We love your show and it's ausome. You should take over the office and kill Meredith... we hate her. Well Bye!!!

Mr. Poop Rocks!

Dwight ''aka'' ex volunteer sheriff deputy...., amongst one of the highest honors to obtain... Dwight you need to stop letting Michael think he has control of you.., Only dwight has control of dwight..., I mean you are not only a mighty worker, a smooth guy around the office, a hit with the ladies... you basically are what every woman wants, and what every guy wants to be..., Soooo hang in there Dwight, as hard as it may be... - thats what she said...

It is with honor that i come here to read your Shrute-i-isms. It is as if I have been turned on to your "Shrute-osophy". I can only describe it as "Shrute-astic". You Dwight... are my hero, and I stand proud to proclaim my humble self, a born again Shrute-i-ite.
And watch out for Jim...
He understands nothing.

Question: Do you like to make fun of the people who don't act like you?
Answer: YES.
you need to take a chill pill Dwight Fart Schrewt. leave the majority alone, don't try to change us.

I just bought the Dwight Schrute Bobblehead for my friend and this is the email I just received from her. Too funny not to share.

Following are Rules pertaining to the Dwight Schrute Bobblehead:

You may admire the D.S.B., but do not pick it up, shake it or turn it upside down.
You may, however, lightly tap the D.S.B.’s head so as to make it “bobble”.
You are not allowed to photograph the D.S.B. without permission.
You may speak to the D.S.B, but I suggest doing this when no one else is around (including me)
And, finally, and most importantly, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THE D.S.B. TO BE USED AS AN OFFICE JOKE OR PRANK. NOR IS IT TO BE KIDNAPPED (while I’m out on vacation), IN AN ATTEMPT TO BE FUNNY. IF ANY OF THE ABOVE HAPPENS, THE D.S.B. WILL BE REMOVED AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR OFFICE ENJOYMENT AND FESTIVITIES.

i have an uncle grit, too! i don't know about him not liking truman, but he sure does like to bowl.

Dwight, you are a genius and your TV show is so HILARIOUS!!!!! I'm getting as many episodes on my Ipod as possible.

hahaha dwight got a whore on the convention!!!!! (not, it was angela, but Jim thought it was a prostotute lol!)

wow. dwight you are super awesome beyond belief. i love you. my friend thinks you are hot! i just think you are sweet and flippen crazy cool !!!!!!!!!

Dwight, you are silly.

I dont have time for this blog I am currently tending to my up and coming beet farm and I am having problems with my seeds

the S in harry S truman was already covered. reiterating an asked and answered question makes you look simple enough, but then emma emma...wtf?!
as far as power being power, maybe this will help: i yam what i yam and that's all that i yam. does that clear it up for you? if you need more assistance, pls press outside line, dial 471 and the next available customer service representative will be happy to assist you.
thank you for calling C*mc*st. you have a great evening!

It's "Harry S Truman" not "Harry S. Truman" The letter S was not an abbreviation for anything. Now that you are a man, I thought you could handle the truth.

emma

Dwight - I don't get it. If power already Is power, then how can it BE power. I've been thinking about this all morning, and then since after my shower. I get that information (or "knowing") is power. No, wait. Yes, that's right. But I can't seem to make the jump over to Power "being" Power. I wish I had your skills.

send me some money!!! i need some cheese on my sandwich

Dwight, Dwight, Dwight! You swore not to say anything about the Schrute secret, Now you have told the entire nation! Not only do we have the upper hand now, but so does JIM!
Jim has always had the power over you, and now you have just given him more control. You have truely shown your color's, and may you be banned from any futher Schrute Family Secrets!
I am very disapointed in you Dwight!

who, exactly, are you quoting when you say "Americanized"? they are called quotes for a reason. you can only use them if you are quoting somebody! if you want to emphasize a word, type it in bold or italicize it, if you must. you should really just let the word speak for itself. if the rest of your sentence is properly structured, your reader will understand the importance of the word without undue punctuation.
the lesson to be learned here is that no one should listen to someone who puts quotation marks around a word that isn't being quoted. in fact, unless it is a phrase with 3 consecutive words from another individual, quotation marks are unnecessary.
and the show rocks! it is super funny, daring and "just plain old entertaining," says Rolling Rock magazine!

Well, you've done it. You've finally "Americanized" The Office. It's no longer smart, or believable. It's become a slapstick mockery of itself. The show clicked because of the chemistry between Jim & Pam, with all the characters orbiting around Jim. Without Jim to be the go-between, the show has no centre of gravity, and is a whirlwhind of badly produced NBC tripe. For shame, NBC. For shame, America.

Dwight. I just wanted to let you know that I did a little housecleaning over at the office fansite: http://www.michaelscott.tv. You'll have to check it out when you're done making all those great sales calls!

Michael Scott
http://www.michaelscott.tv

I'm really disappointed in all the episodes this season (except possibly the paper convention one). It seems that all the wit, charisma, and subtlety that we loved in the previous two seasons has disappeared. I see where the storyline was going taking Jim away from the office, but at the same time it takes away all the chemistry and, frankly, the humor. However, I'm still a big fan and am looking forward to new episodes.

Dwight, did you see that they combined your two favorite things? Martial Arts and Laser Tag! http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/13/mazu-kans-contact-free-laser-martial-arts-game/

Dwight's power scares me, yet it turns me on. At first I scoffed at his inability to keep the secret from us, thus making him vulnerable. But then I realized he was teaching us, his disciples. I tremble with the knowledge he has shared and I am better for it.

Dwight has the power. The power to control 5 year old relatives. Embrace the power and never let go. Never.

DMcB

What is your biggest fear Dwight?

I truly learned something today, schrute!
Thanks:)
Mike.

Who else can mix Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Hemingway and the Sears Catalog? Whoever wrote that is a sharp Dude.

I want to see the Ultimate Power - Dwight and Jim in a cage match. Jim, please don't go out with that skeeze in your new office :o( Life without you and Pam is unbearable.

dude, those 8x42's are old school...i got me some 8x48's...my mom got 'em for me at a pawn shop that was closing down...yeh...i check out the red and blue birds from the safety of my bubble enclosure...dwight...what a loser you are rockin those 8x42s..haha

http://www.cafepress.com/fnparty/1554947

grits is good for ya.

This site has exceeded competency capacity. Abort.

power is only rewop spelled backwards. unless you can control a man, a plan, a canal Panama, you might as well sit on a potato pan, Otis!
illusions of power are only delusions of a fevered mind. no one ever has true control over another person bc no one can ever truly control himself. i could try to tell you everything i know, and you may think you have so-called power over me, but even i don't know every last single thing that i truly know, so inevitably, unintentionally, i would leave something out. something with the potential to perform a mighty coup over someone with the misperception that they have the upper hand. the solution? blame canada and move on.Or,Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. if you have a problem with that:Go deliver a dare, vile dog!

rolling with the homies, Seacrest OUT!!!

my brother is in the coast guard he is stationed in fort meyers beach florida, I love you dwight!!

I love they dyed hair episode from season 1. YOU ROCK!!

They just started airing The Office in Finland, but ratings have been modest so far though i think it's is awesome. However Late Night with Conan O'Brian is shown 11.00 pm monday to friday and even the reruns (the next day at 4.15 pm) are a success. What is wrong with us? Could Dwights' uncle Günther marrying a finnish woman explain it all... Anyway if they cancel this show in Finland I demand NBC won't sell any more episodes of Conan before they take the Office back to their schedule or atleast air it with swedish subtitles. Power is Power.

I don't like it either, wish Jim would come back. Hes missing you Dwight.

are we all now pawns of yours Dwight? as you have shared your knowledge with all of us, are we bound to you? are we all your golum?
I'm frightened

The Schrute's are traitors to America....eliminate them!

Dwight Micheal wants you to make slides for the office

Dwight,
Don't be nieve! You need to maintain your intelectual power base and only trust those you can trust. Ask youself one question, "Would Uncle Grit approve of this!
PS - Love your hair part! No wonder Angela can't stay away!

Dwight,
You write 'we're' when you mean 'were.' I've seen it twice now.
I love you in spite of your grammatical flaws.

I don't know where y'all think you're taking this whole "jim's new relationship" angle, but I don't like it.

Jim is so cool for putting Dwights things in jello, that i wish i could do that to my co-workers.

Your words of wisdom are remarkable. You are a true scholar. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. You are so generous. Thank you OH SMART ONE! Angela isn't worthy of your incredible intelligence!

I think I speak for everone when I say, I love The Office. Now hug it out, bitch.

i just want to say, Dwight rules. that is all.

hello dwight. i am writing to you to ask you to put me in your blog. fact: i am a fan of your work. together i believe we can rule dunder mifflin as one. we have so much in common. we both wear clothes, have hair, and are of german descent (except for me). A wise man once wrote "I have a dream" but that doesnt exactly pretain to what I am talking about. As you see, i am talking about completely random things to take up space. It is all part of my complex plan to be placed on your blog. I figure that when you read your comments (if you do in fact read them) you will scroll down the page looking for something that might catch your eye. SHIZAM! you see this extremely long comment that you just have to read. It turns out that it is wrtitten by someone named dan the man who would like to be placed in your blog. you figure what the heck this crazed, almost stalker like fan took the time to throw his heart and soul into writing an enormously long comment. I might as well put him in my blog. And it is now that i bid you farewell dwight. and please, keep on pimpin.

p.s. the office is pretty sweet and stuff and i love call of duty 2.

skatamoosh skatamoosh do you do the fondango send a bolt of lightning very very frightening ee gallalao gallalao

dwight equals dioxirilonucleicacid

dwight c'mon man. you know you deserve that job more than michael does. you will raise sells so much, u'll save them. tell halpert if he doesnt do pam, he's fired. that is all
-Dunder Mifflin CFO-

Dwight? whats up my man, long time no talk, I guess you have been busy with the stationary convention but I wanted you to know that steve-o, A.J., Joey, kyle and I will always be their to support you through any trouble, P.S. eBay has an auction for a lie detector, you can use it during operations with michael, gotta go, my bacon and foot are burning.

Whats with jim leaving, Dwight?? u know u miss him. And jim's new co-worker CAN'T take Pam's place.

Wow Dwight. You haven't lost your inspiring touch. You sure are strange but we all love you and your beat farm. Kepp it up mate :)

Truman deserved a noose.

Hello one called dwight. I loved your essay on power. I would like for you to write about lost

P.S. Smithy1000 is not my real name. i am a Canadian secret agent looking into false cheese factorys in Green Bay.

Awesome episode Dwigt, I think you should run that office. And Angela is totally hot, I don't know how you picked her up! See ya next week!

Hey Dwight, in last night's episode I noticed there was a bit of "tension" in the office. Perhaps you might want to suggest something we did at a recent office staff luncheon: "Group empowerment drumming." It has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, strengthen the immune system and improve staff morale. Maybe Michael will let you lead a drum circle in the conference room. That would be awesome, don't you think?

Dwight, Dwight, Dwight, Power is Power? FALSE! Little do you know that power is NOT power. Please let me explain. Power is NOT power. There you go, hope the explaination wasn't too complex for you.

Dwight, I enjoy your posts, but honestly, stop it with the lies. Michael was right in making you stand on your desk with the "liar" sign around your neck. First you betray Uncle Grit, then you betray Michael, and now this...

DWIGHT CAN NO LONGER BE TRUSTED.

Did you guys replace the entire writing staff? Once you broke the tension between Jim and Pam you lost everything. This season is AWEFUL!!! It seems really forced, and not funny at all. Is Rick Gervais still involved? I use to look forward to watching the best show on TV, Thursday nights I have been so disappointed.

Question: does you vending machine at the Dunder-Mifflin branch in Scranton
have 'Mars' bars in it? If not, be in touch, I am the asst. branch manager of a vending machine supply company up the road in Dickson City. Our prices are competitive, and our selection is quite good. In addition to Mars Bars, we also offer a wide selection of other food and novelties (Troll dolls, etc.).

-McHenry

Dwight,

You need to kiss the very ground of America that you and your wierdo relatives can hang images of a President and not be executed for treason. Secret my ass. Your neighboring hicks probably thought it was some hippie, witchcraft crap. Try that in China, smartass!

You must check out Veronica Mars! In the season premiere there were two Battlestar shout outs. I know that you will love. I love your blog by the way.

My Darling Dwight, I so love hearing about your awesome manly ways. Most American men have become such girly men. It is refreshing to know our strong German blood still flows powerfully through your veins & you are not afraid to show it. I have Eichmann blood in my ancestry see no reason why we should have to hide our inherent genetic powers. If only we could combine our gifts & make help this country the superpower it deserves to be. I remain....Yours for the taking.......

You'd think showing someone an effigy of a president would work against you. I mean if you ever ran for any sort of political office, the slander would kill you. but then again, power is power.

I LOVE YOU! POWER TO DWIGHT!!

Dwight, I too had an uncle Grit who was a MacArthur & Nimitzand buff and he felt that Truman was a traitor. Too bad your Uncle Grit & my Uncle Grit couldn't have met, I bet they would have gotten along. Keep fighting the good fight my good man, keep on fighting!

Hey uncle Dwight,

They let us off the boat today and I got a chance to read your "blog". Thanks for revealing the family secret. After months of therapy and being comforted by my boyfriend I can honestly say you have no hold on me anymore. By the way, are we invited for Thanksgiving??

Thank god I know the real spelling of 'Schrood' now. More etymology!

Dwight, why did you do it? Why did you betray Michael? You're pretty lucky to have a boss that will let you hug it out after all you have done.
PS, Chrysler Sebrings are fantastic choices for Scranton. You just wanted a german car because your grandmother was a NAZI. Next time, wipe the spit off your lip, hook-up with Jan, and go for the coup again. Now I'll excuse you. You have to get Michael's Laundry to him.

hey dwight, 1 question. ive seen every episode but did jim ever go on his trip? just wonderin. kElLeY

Dwight-so excited about the office(i have every episode). But, I would very much like to see the shrute beet farm. How are the beets by the way? better than candy?

You are my ideal mate, I will have you now.

Post Script. I also noticed in a previous blog the talk of an ABC show, you got some loyalty issues...

Mr. Schrute, I find it odd that you slipped in a plug for this movie, The Gaurdian which was made by Touchstone Pictures, owned by Disney, who primary television network is ABC. How much are they paying you?!?!?

I believe Dwight fully represents The Needs of the Few. Check it out Dwight, if you dare!

theneedsofthefew.blogspot.com

I've always found that power lies in latex gloves and a fresh jar of mayonaise...or in the musty basement "apartment" belonging to the parents of the obese forty-year-old bachelor - or bachlorette - tenant. My nickname - thanks grandma - is "D Head"...do you think we're related?

I wanna rock and roll all nite... and party every day... I wanna take a bite all nite... and puke when i wake up!!!! Use that one on Jim (Big Tuna)

Good god dwight, you use any type of narcotic?

heeeeeey dwight i just hav to say that i loveed when you were fake crying about Jim leaving. That was CLASSIC! i love u!! you are hilarious and i especially love when u fight with Jim. sooooo funny. i hope he comes back to the Scranton branch so that he can F*** with you some more. o yes and about your most recent blog, I love power too. It is awesome. That is all. Valerie Poirier

ps. please refer to me in ur blog??

Nobody F's with Dwight! See what happen to Jim...and almost Oscar....nuff said!

Dwight you are weak and my kung fu skills could kill you

Dwight, no matter how much power you have over me I will always keep your secret.

haha. i love these blog thingys they are soo effing hilarious. dwight is my hero!!!

that was the best monologue ever, beats out "the other ninja..."

Dwight, you are a very lucky man! Angela is one hot babe. A little uptight but I bet she can really cut lose.

Now the rest of the world knows the secret. What shall we do about this little information leak??

"Lesson Learned? Don't "F" with a Shrute"... absolutely CLASSIC! Dwigt, ask Riann when he will be allowed to write an episode? Shrute clones rule! (bring back Six Feet Under)

I'm going to go find some kid to use my deathly persuasive power on.

Thanks, Dwight.

damnit schrute you like guys

If knowledge is power, and true knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance, then true power is knowing what you don't know. Chew on that one for a bit :)

Post Scriptum: I loved the Frost reference. That is one of my favorite poems, and I will never read it the same way again!

Dwight: as a Missourian, I know that Harry Truman's full middle name was "S", there is no abbreviation. Therefore you were incorrect in calling him Harry S. Truman. You don't appreciate being called "Dwigt", and I'm sure Harry wouldn't appreciate being called S-period instead of just S,
That is all.

Dwight, it would be cool if you up the ante on this web spacetime continuum: capture a video snippet on the show, post it on youtube on air date. Show us more gadgetry Dwight!

i, too, know someone nicknamed d-cup...different reason.

there's something so 1840's[lynch-worthy?]about that story you've shared, and i for one found it heartwarming and not at all unsettling, nor auto-erotic.

p.s. "Oh God, i hope it's urine."

Oh, and I would still like to be the assistant to the assistant of the regional manager! Thanks haha

Dwight, you are SO hot!!

haha..dwight I just found this page! I wish you didn't get rid of your myspace but this is hiliarious. Your family sounds...interesting. Hope all is well :)

Dwight, can I quote you in the book I am writing for future generations?

dwight. i love you. how is angela? yes, i know about her. i hope you will always remember that power is power. i know that i will. =]

this is an interbranch attack. with knowing this huge secret we will turn u in to ms. jan levingson (gauld). standford wins!!!

You have given me a whole new perspective of Robert Frost. I will share your story with my English Professor.

Thanks for letting us in on the Schrute sekrit, Dwight.

I hope you're going to watch Lost tonight.

Dwight, do you have a girlfriend? I think you're cuter than Michael.
xoEllen

You scare me. Seriously.

So... does that mean Johnny can fight underwater??

I love how you said "starring Ashton Kutcher" with almost no sense of irony. Keep up the great work!

Word.

I LOVE LOST!!! AND THE OFFICE!!! AND LOST!!

Are you gonna watch it Dwight?

Lost is starting tonight!!
get ready!!
and if you didnt realize already, you now have power over all who read this shrute space entry.
good going chap.
now i have to be afraid of being murdered.
thanks.

I hope the war goes on forever and Ryan gets drafted.

Yes, power IS power. I will ponder that for the rest of the day.
