Things that should be cooler than they are

Bought something a few days ago I thought would be thoroughly soul-uplifting:

Some time ago, I lent out my copy of Office Space to someone, and they never returned it. I don't really blame them, it's an awesome movie. Still, it left a painful hole on my shelf.

Timely* enough, the new Special Edition office space (With Flair!) was just released. Includes a mouse pad, coffee mug, pen and pencil, note pads and..... da da da dAAAAA:

A RED STAPLER

Unfortunately, this is a universe without justice. It's not a Swingline. It's a cheap asian rip-off, and it binds up constantly. Anyone who's seen the movie will know how painful this is.

* Litui: Am I on crack, or should this be "timelyly"?

As I recall, there's a special rule about not needing an extra "ly" if you've already got one. So said Winston Grammar when I was 8 years old, anyway.

Also, to put a binding, non-Swingline into Office Space is the very height of injustice. I say you write a nasty letter.

Believe me, I was tempted. :)

Unfortunately there's a $5 mail-in-rebate included in the package if you do go out and buy the REAL red stapler, so I'm thinking Swingline's in on it. It's actually pretty cheap at Staples though, so I'm considering it.
