[TK421]

I'm sorry...I'm now working on a six-pack of Yuengling, so forgive me..

1. See how far up your nose you can put it.

[TK421]

2. I can't put any object up my nose at this point...I can't even find my nose!

[rug]

3. Ah,then try to avoid rubber bands until the morning.

:toast:

[TK421]

6. I'll flick them at my roommates, if I'm feeling ornery enough to do so

[many a good man]

4. How big is it?

You may be able to use it as a tie clip. It will keep your tie straight and proper and no one will know how much you have been drinking on the job.

If your tie is wide enough, you can hide your papers behind your wide tie and smuggle yourself out of East Germany. Think of the liberty and the frauleins with heaving cleavages!

5. Funny that you say that, because I used to have to dress up in a suit at my last

job, and the back part of my tie was always crooked..I have used a paper clip to fasten that part to the tie itself ( it would swing back and forth ) it was hardly noticeable and it seemed to work :)

11. I've heard that one plenty of times, let me tell you....

[Swede]

7. Trade it for a house?

8. Oh geez! thanks for that link, but I'm not sure I want to take it THAT far!

good for that guy, though!

9. Use it to unstick your keyboard keys after you spill beer in them.

[TK421]

10. Believe it or not, I haven't spilled beer on this particular keyboard yet

and I've been through four of them

[DebJ]

27. hmmm...maybe I need to switch to beer from soda!

[petronius]

12. Bend it into an antic little figurine, and set it on your desk

Then, you'll see it every day and eventually it'll get to the point where you can't even throw the stupid thing away...

[TK421]

13. I already have one....its called my hard drive

I have a Dell dinosaur here with me....I battle constantly with the thing

the paper clip could do more good

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. An key ring.

Straighten it out and stick it in the little hole in your computer CD tray to release it. If it's stuck, that is. Or even just for fun.

Twist it around a shaft as an emergency E-clip replacement.

Wire harness tie.

A weight for an improvised plum bob.

Hot wire an old car. The kind of car you can hot wire. An old one. The car, I mean. The age of the paper clip is unimportant. Unless it's one of those stupid plastic ones. They don't work. Trust me.

A hinge pin. A really weak one.

A high-tech microwave secret agent 2 way radio. In your imagination.

Ear canal cleaner.

Enjoy!

17. Here is what I was thinking...just watch the whole thing

18. Email it to me

and I'll turn it into drunk-art :silly:

[TK421]

19. If I e-mail it as an attachment, won't it still show up as a paper clip?

YOU SEE? YOU SEE? it's a conspiracy!!!! THEY'RE ALL AROUND US!!!! WATCHING, WAITING!!!!

[kentauros]

20. Not in Eudora

That's the email program I use (fuck Outlook!!!) so its symbol for an attachment is a little golden letter with a padlock attached (don't ask me why...)

Therefore, you can easily email your paperclip to me and it will be padlocked into the letter. Trust me!

[TK421]

21. You know a hell of a lot more about computers than I do, my friend

you may as well call me a luddite

[kentauros]

22. Luddites wouldn't even Look at a computer screen

much less touch a keyboard :P
You are no luddite

Eudora is an older email program that went open source some years back. They were owned by Qualcomm, but I think when they divested themselves of it, that's when the open-source people took over. I haven't seen an update in years though, but it still works fine, so I keep using it.

I can't stand Outlook, but have to know how to use it as pretty much all of Corporate Amerika uses MS products. It's the default and who are they to question the 'wisdom' another "Corporate Giant"tm? ;)

[TK421]

23. I need to go to bed now...something important just came up-goodnight, thanks everyone

[kentauros]

24. G'nite!

Hope it's not too serious :hug:

[HopeHoops]

25. Lock your beer in the bathroom and then use the paperclip to pick the lock.

TALK about motivation!!!

[Sabriel]

26. Set it next to your computer

And tell people Clippie escaped.

[lunatica]

28. stretch it out and use it as a toothpick

[bluedigger]

29. Google "Kyle McDonald"

Good luck!
