Now what about beating down fax machines?

Mike sent me this article about the movie Office Space. Or more specifically about the Swingline Stapler in the movie.

I was going to make a joke about how the article reaffirmed my faith that I am simply better than some people, because rather than being a follower and having a bright red stapler, I have a very retro beige Swingline with faux wood panelling, sort of like a 1970s Station Wagon.

But then, I did a quick google search for swingline stapler, and found this. Photos of a stapler restored to original specs? Stapler detailing? A personal History of stapling? Stapling competitions?

Sigh….

Now I’m just sad.

      No! Not again! Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam! I swear to God one of these days I’m just going to kick this piece of shit out of the window.

    I still think The Mezzanine made the best stapler-related contribution to American culture and literature and whatnot.
