- jcampbell1 13y agotook his stapler too.
- agilebyte 13y agoHe isn't a bit pyro is he?
- JonnieCache 13y agoDo you mean klepto? He didn't burn the stapler...
- agilebyte 13y agoYou are right, the stapler survived.
- phryk 13y agoYou just outed yourself as somebody who did not watch 'Office Space'; We very much recommend it. ;)
- dirktheman 13y ago+1 for Office Space. Or Dilbert, for that matter. I always thought they took a situation and exaggerate it to the absurd. Now I know that they were actually being conservative. Truth really is stranger than fiction...
- JonnieCache 13y agoMy vicarious televisual office stapler antics have so far extended only to hiding them in jelly and throwing them out of windows.
- mkramlich 13y agoBrazil, Office Space, Dilbert, and The Office are all in my pantheon of corporate/cubicle/office comedy. I wrote a little homage in a recent sci-fi comedy novel of mine, just because. A homage to Dwight in particular.
- phryk 13y agoOh yeah, Brazil was kind of confusing. I think I'll have to watch it again. :)
- rmc 13y agoI always thought they took a situation and exaggerate it to the absurd. Now I know that they were actually being conservative. AFAIR, Dilbert creator Scot Adams always made sure to keep Dilbert vague and a bit extreme. But people would write into him recognising some absurd part of a current strip and ask if he was really writing about Company X?
- vidarh 13y agoMy favorite from Scott Adams was Mission Impertinent: When he teamed up with Logitech co-founder Zappacosta to prank Logitech staff: http://web.archive.org/web/20000817044342/http://www7.mercurycenter.com/archives/dilbert/mission_index.html http://web.archive.org/web/20000817044342/http://www7.mercur... (To Mercy News eternal shame they seem to have taken these pages down during some redesign or rebranding or whatever...)

- hkarthik 13y agoI recently found out that Swingline never originally made a red stapler, but started making them in 2002 (3 years after Office Space was released) because they got so many requests for it after the movie was released.
