The Monk Bought Lunch

this is why parents blame tv for society's ills

When I read this story, I pictured the guy with the sword looking exactly like Dwight Schrute.

And that just set off a thought process that will probably follow me around all day, which isort of goes like this:
Dwight is the Frank Burns of The Office, and every good sit com needs a Frank Burns, and who is the Frank Burns of, say Cheers (I'd say Diane, although cases could be made for Frasier and Lilith). Insert your favorite show and ask "who is the Frank Burns of...". Also, what makes a Frank Burns character? They have to think they're much smarter than they are (which is not at all), delusions of grandeur helps but delusions of authority and power are a must, and they should be a near-contant target of the protagonists' taunts or pranks. And then there are the Winchesters, who are less-effective versions of the Frank Burns, because they are more sympathetic and less stupid.

And once again I think to myself "they're going to let me have a kid?!".
