Staplers of the stars. Marc Blucas signed a stapler and it is up for auction. I do not understand it either.

A Riley stapler. It is on the top of my wishlist....

If only it was a Swingline red stapler (Office Space fans will know what I'm talking about!)...

Oddjob | November 23, 23:07 CET

At least the money goes to support the Humane Society and not Staples.

Gaudior | November 24, 00:01 CET

well, there is a fanfic about Giles' stapler. and other office supplies. and how they conspire to assist his love life.

guess you had to be there.

leenah | November 24, 00:01 CET

It should have been a coffee machine. That thinks....

zz9 | November 24, 00:05 CET

This cracks me up.

Did anyone check out the other staplers signed by celebrities - Orlando Bloom sign staple is at $305. Yeah I would concider it if is was {mummbles} my sssstaaappler, it's red.

Ah a Tony Danza signed stapler. He is like a god in my country.

Simon | November 24, 00:24 CET

This is great, it totally takes care of my holiday gift list: a Cher stapler for annoying cousin Jane, a Meryl Streep for pompous Uncle Tony, a Bill Gates for aspiring brother Joe, and a Paris Hilton for pervy father. And a Ringo for myself, natch. Ah, a sigh of contentment for a job well done . . .

I'm sad for your country.....

Only a small step above David Hasselhoff... ;)

Only a small step above David Hasselhoff... ;)

But it's a crucial step!

Rogue Slayer | November 24, 00:52 CET

But it's a crucial step!

Yes, they are moving up in the '80s - from "Knight Rider" to "Who's the Boss?" - next it will be Scott Bakula.

Suppose if someone dropped it out the window and it killed somebody, they'd think Marc Blucas did it because his name would be on the murder weapon.

Ghost Spike | November 24, 00:58 CET

Oddjob, I have a red Swingline stapler on my desk...it is, along with my Homer Simpson Rubik's Cube and my collection of miniature cars from Buffy, a prized office possession.

Chris in Virginia | November 24, 01:35 CET

Very amusing.

SeanValen | November 24, 03:42 CET

I have a red swingline too, its one of the limited edition ones, I bribed the AA in charge of office supplies to order it for me on the company bill.

Tony Danza, David Hasselhof...I think German's have a thing for unholy amounts of chest hair....

sTalking_Goat | November 24, 03:57 CET

thirteen - I am right there with you. Its not like the item has any significance to Marc's career, to fans of any show, any historical significance or anything. It's. Just. A. Stapler. With. Writing. On.

Simon
I haven't been back to the UK in twenty years but Tony Danza's a god now !!!!! WTF?

Holy crap, I am glad I left before the place really went downhill! (not to imply that you did that, he trails off lamely...)

I am just soooooo hoping you forgot to use the sarcasm font there!

catalyst2 | November 24, 08:40 CET

Oh. My. God.

*is in heaven*

I, uh...I have a stapler collection. And, uh, stapler-love in general.

*Slinks away to Dorktown*

Very very random

brob1 | November 24, 14:32 CET

Finally, what to get an office exec who has everything!

We should send one to the suits at the WB (of course thats sarcasm).

Spikecam21 | November 24, 14:48 CET

Random... but a lot of different charities are going to benefit from the money raised by a stapler (or two, or three).

Arista | November 24, 16:23 CET

Suppose if someone dropped it out the window and it killed somebody, they'd think Marc Blucas did it because his name would be on the murder weapon.

Oh, come on. Why would a murderer write his name on the murder weapon? Oh - I get it. Probably to keep people from borrowing it;)

All this stapling talk has given me ideas -

Dear Bad Santa

I would like a staplegun for Christmas.
And a copy of the Lethal Weapon DVD (you know the one, where he is fixing his house, and he gets attacked, and the staple thingy comes in handy…)
And a visitors pass to the WB offices.

I promise I will be a very very naughty girl.

(Disclaimer: violence is baaad. Pacifism is good. Christmas is the time to be nice. Even if it kills you.)

PS Just checked, my stapler is a Rexel and called ‘Matador’ (I kid you not). We have now officially entered the world of weirdness.

miranda | November 24, 18:35 CET

I bought a staplegun recently to use as a prop for a Halloween costume. Maybe I should sign it and auction it on eBay! No one knows who I am, but, hey, I hadn't heard of lots of the people who'd signed staplers!

And I didn't get staples for it; I was afraid I'd staple someone by accident and get in big, big trouble!
