  • Actually i think it's pretty awesome. Can someone buy me the Hank Aaron one?
  • I knew my office was lacking a certain something, and now I know what it is -- Rollergirl's stapler.
  • I would do the Red Swingline from Office Space (and you can get replicas from Thinkgeek.com), but I can't think of any other staplers that would be worth the getting.
  • Not weird at all. I have two women in my office who would pay big money for a ziploc bag of feces from any hot celebrity.
  • well, bern, feces yes... but a stapler? bring me the feces of hamid karzai.
  • Sandspider - you're right - I can't understand why they have one from Ron Livingston but not a red Swingline from Stephen Root. it's a damn shame.
  • Is it a big, gaping stapler? flashboy: that is not a stapler.
  • actually, now that I've had time to run it across my mind a few times "The Gaping Staplers" would be a pretty good band name.
  • The Staples Sisters were known as just that during their younger, more promiscuous days.
  • This is just part of a clever new inititive by "Staplers" (a nationwide Office Supply chain) to get mindshare for their business name. Last night I saw for the first time (I don't watch much TV) a clever Staples add for digital cameras in which a little old granny lines up the family for a snapshot that she takes with a stapler. Wonder who their ad agency is? Pretty clever stuff for pushing the brand.
  • "Gaping Staplers" makes me think Goatse Office Productstm.
  • pete, you mean "Ceçi n'est pas une stapler."
  • mercurious, I agree. A very clever bit of viral marketing. Now that's a stapler.
  • bwhaaaaaaa! that's fun islander
  • Hectorinwa: I post corrected. islander - that's the best!
  • I would do the Red Swingline from Office Space (and you can get replicas from Thinkgeek.com) Or you can get them at pretty much any office supply store, since Swingline started making them in red due to the demand generated by the movie. (The packaging even calls it 'the perfect addition to your office space.") Yes, I bought one.
  • Þat er eigi stapler.
  • come again?
